Our first group outing was a big one. We pushed HARD to see The Glass House Mountains, Australia Zoo, and the Mary Cairncross Rainforest Reserve. Pushing hard involves setting out before 8 AM while it is drizzling and going, going, going.
Initially I was concerned about the rain, but it ended up being an ideal day. Only enough rain to prompt us to buy ponchos. Then, the sun came out...but it stayed comfortable. Fabulous.
First stop - after a bit of being lost...The Glass House Mountains! While I've enjoyed seeing them before, I think they've never looked better than they did that morning shrouded in the mist. Doesn't it feel cool? Cool as in both comfortable and mysterious...
On the way down from the lookout, a kangaroo hopped out in front of our car. This is always cool - just like when you see deer at home - as long as there is no collision with the car! I'd like to say the photo is supposed to look like this to capture the feeling of movement, but you know better.
Next stop - Australia zoo. No photo of Kevin and I in our fashionable Australia Zoo ponchos, but in the photo of the American Alligators you can see the rain. And, a very brave water dragon.
Finally, back to the rainforest. Kevin and I are very impressed by this little place. We've decided everyone must go. It was an overcast day, as I've said. Not the intense sunshine we had last visit and so too dark for good photography (with my equipment.) No snakes this time. I don't think Linda was disappointed. We did find pademelons, however. Yay.
