Downunder in Australia


This post is about 4 years old, but I decided to write about all of my adventures. Went to Australia about 4 years ago. First went to Caines for about a week. While in Caines, I went white water rafting (that's me falling out of the boat), went to the rainforest, held and took a picture with a Kaola bear, and went scuba diving at the great barrier reef. Caines was very nice.

Then went down to Sydney. Sydney was very nice. Did a lot of site seeing there. Saw the Sydney Opera House, took sunset cruise around habour, wine tasting in the blue mountains, and some general touring around Sydney. Got into some other stuff, but that is not going to be committed to a blog....LOL The people in Australia were really nice and friendly and everyone loved my accent.

Australia is not known for their cuisine. Although the food was not bad, it wasn't spectular. I did try some kangeroo over there and it was ok. They do love their Mango and I had the best Mango smoothie while I was there. I would definitely recommend Australia.

Tidbit about Australia and Kangeroos
Kangeroo is Abrigines means I dont understand what you are saying. When australia was first discovered, Captian Cook saw the hopping animals and ask what were their name. The people said to him, "Kangeroo". What they were really saying is "that I have no ideal what you asking me".
