Australia again ...

So back in July, when I was in Australia, I took a day trip up to the Daintree forest, a rainforest on the northeastern coast of the country. We stopped at a wildlife sanctuary on the way, and wound up the adventure at gorgeous Cape Tribulation. (And then drove four hours in the bus back to Cairns.) Here are a few of the better pictures. Sorry for the delay in getting these posted!



Not nearly so cuddly as I'd hoped! In fact, if you can't tell from the look on my face, I was terrified. Apparently, if koalas are nervous, they dig in their claws, which I definitely didn't want to happen ... so I didn't move. At all.





I've seen worse vandalism ...




The problem with crocodile photos is you can't tell how HUGE they are! However, this one wasn't all that huge, so it's not that big of a problem ...


How can you not appreciate the visuals?



Don't worry, this isn't a real cassowary - which, if rumor is correct, would have killed me in a manner of seconds.
