Our trip to explore Australia

We finally took a trip to explore more of Australia other than just Sydney. This picture is of Isaac and I on a cruise on the Daintree River up in North Queensland looking for crocodiles.

Crocodiles!

Here's one of the many crocodiles we saw sunning themselves on the side of the banks....

Love the jellyfish sign warning of deadly marine stingers in the area - along with the vinegar.

Family pic overlooking Cape Tribulation.

Another random animal road sign - Cassowary crossing - large freaky looking birds that run wild up there.

Isaac waiting for his favorite part of the day - the car ferry while standing in front of a sign warning of crocodile infested waters.

Isaac and mommy on one of the deserted beaches up north there.

Here's Ben and Isaac on a rainforest walk - Isaac's picked up a little souvenir leaf to take home.

Loving all the animals....

Isaac and Daddy on the Rainforest Skyrail ride.

Looking at the beautiful reef through a glass bottom boat.

Daddy found nemo diving on the reef.

Isaac contemplating whether or not he wants to dive in and look for nemo out on the great barrier reef.

Daddy and Isaac LOVING the beautiful beach on green island.

Isaac LOVED going on the scenic train ride in the mountains.

Stopping off from the train to look at some beautiful waterfalls.



Looks like we just missed being eaten by crocodiles yesterday on the car ferry.

Getting off the BIG airplane in the red center of Australia.

Hiking the Olgas in the outback.

We found some wild camels by the side of the road in the outback.

Beautiful wildflowers in the spring in the outback.

Climbing Kings Canyon.

Isaac falls asleep sandwich in hand on the hike.

In the middle of the outback desert there's a beautiful waterhole.

Isaac and Daddy hiking around the base of the "big red rock" as Isaac called it.

It is pretty big.

Some aboriginal art on the rock.

Family pic in front of Uluru.

Another family pic just before sunset.

That's right - a no speed limit sign.

Ben hiked Uluru without the fam - him on top with the Olgas in the background.

The chains you need to use to hike up the rock.

A picture of the fam hiking the spit to manly hike.

What a bug!

Our trip to FIJI!! We went to church on our little island at the local village. Isaac sat with the other little children for a little while during the service.



In front of the beach by the village.

Beautiful view of the island from the top of the hill.

Isaac made friends with the village elders by offering his yellow truck as a sacrifice.

Isaac made a friend.

The locals put on a little show for us of traditional songs.

A family of ducks and ducklings running around the village.

Isaac takes a pic with ALL the village kids.

Love the colorful washing hanging between the bures.

Isaac in his "tub" of water.
