Australia
I’ve been lucky enough to travel all over Australia. I have family all over the country which is handy when you need a place to crash. The last time I was there was back in 2011. I couldn’t believe how expensive everything had got, especially in Sydney.
I have fond memories of Australia because I managed to take my Mom and Dad there many years ago which was something that they never thought they’d be able to do.
Here are some of my favourite memories of traveling around Australia.
Terri Irwin Feeding A Crocodile At Australia Zoo Back In 2005.(Hence the blurriness – No 4k iPhones available in them days 🙂
I went on my first round-the-world trip back in 2005 and one of the countries I visited was Australia. As a big fan of Steve Irwin, I had to go and visit Australia Zoo. He wasn’t there at the time but his wife Terri was there in his place feeding the crocodiles.
