Just wanted to share!

    Thanks JP, the thing I miss the most about home is those eucalyptus trees along the rivers. Hubby enjoyed the Kaola pic' but they are smelly little buggers.

    I went to Australia for two weeks when I was 17. (Gees...that was 13 years ago). When I was in Sydney I got lots of pictures of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, and some graffiti on the beach, then I broke my camera playing rugby on the beach. (Note: remove camera from pocket BEFORE playing rugby). I still regret not getting any pictures from the rest of the country. I was one good Christmas bonus away from going back this spring to fix the problem.

    I did lots and lots of things in Australia, but one of my strongest memories is the distinctive smell of a Koala: eucalyptus and shit. Not something you're going to bottle and sell anytime soon.

    Yeah those trees do smell nice, I had forgotten that. I was there for a couple years about 10 years ago. Beautiful county. I would love to go back and explore it a little more then I was able to.

    Tonight with dinner I actually had some Bundaberg Ginger Beer and a few Timtams. Mmmm, good stuff.
    Back in '82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile.

    Ginger Beer love it!, not keen on the Timtams however my hubby loves them( he's from the US) There is a place in Texas where I get all sorts of stuff Outback Australia I think it's called, they also have a web site
