Does anyone else LOVE researching vacation destinations?
Whee- it’s half the fun to anticipate the trip and check out options. I’m so
glad we stayed on Bruny Island, south of Tasmania. It was a treat to stay at
Inala and take guided tours during the daytime and evening hours. We took a
couple of photos of penguins ascending the sand dunes at night, but didn’t want
to blind them with flash photography…thus, no penguin pictures to share here. We used red
filters over the flashlights so the focusing was difficult, plus they were in
motion, so a blurry red blob wouldn’t mean much to you- but it was so cool to see
them heading home from the water.
We learned so much more about the animals and everything
else about that corner of the world than if we had tried to figure things out
on our own. These three photos were taken on Bruny Island, and we would very much like
to return. It was our first (accidental) birding experience, and we’d highly
recommend it.
The material behind this picture/card and two from the previous post was not purchased in Australia. It was a souvenir from my husband's deployment, which is when we met in Australia.
Check out these nifty mushrooms, REALLY! We also
discovered boronia flowers, and had a wonderful evening of start gazing with a
telescope.
P.S. We only visited a few locations on this amazing
continent, due to our limited vacation time. We very much hope to see more
regions on future visits!
