Admiral's Arch

Super-Grace

Grace shows her super human strength by holding up a giant peice of granite.

Remarkable Rocks

Emily and Connor climbing in the Remarkable Rocks.

Kelly Hill Caves

Spelunking in the Kelly Hill Caves.

Seal Bay

Appropriately named as this bay is constantly occupied by Seals.

Australian Salmon

This is the Salmon I caught off the Jetty in Vivonne Bay. Paul caught a meter long Barricuda but we didn't have a camera (Really!!!). Christopher didn't want us to keep it so we had to let it go before recording any evidence.

Bust Bees

Our first stop on Kangaroo Island. These bees are the only pure strain of Ligurian bees in the World.

Daily Rations

Each day up to 6 Kookaburra visit to be fed. They are meat eaters and like ground beef and turkey.

Gum Tree at Night

This is a shot of Gaye and Paul's backyard Gum (Eucalyptis) tree. A couple stars not visible in Canada too. The Brush Tailed and Ring Tailed Possums were hiding.

Message From Gracie To Ms. T's Class

Hi Guys(Ms. T's Class)

Thanks for looking at our blog and all the messages you are sending me.
I want to invite you all to my Down Under B-day party. It'll be on Saturday May 2nd from 4pm to 6pm at my house. I'll send out invitations when I get back. I just wanted to let everyone know the plan so you can tell your parents.

I miss you all,

Love, Gracie

Ozzie Breakfast

A healthy start to our day at the races.

Oakbank Races

We spent a day at the races. Oakbank Great Eastern Steeple Chase is an annual event which draws thousands.

Nap Time

Grace having a little nap on Paul. Picking the winning horses has worn her out.

Koala Lou Close-Up

Same Koala that is being fed by Emily and Connor

Feeding Koala Lou

Emily and Connor feed a wild (not in the zoo!) Koala in the park. We were for a short walk and came across several Koalas.

Port Power were victorious over the Victorians.

At the footie game

All smiles as Port Adelaide were well ahead at the third quarter. The Melbourne Demons fans (supporters) were not sharing this feeling.

Underwater Action

Emily being cool!

Eggbert in an Egg Hunt

The Easter Bunny found us and Grace and Emily wasted little time filling their bowls with chocloate. We have been told that an Australian Easter Egg rule is that 1/2 of all chocolate collected goes in tax to the Dad.

Gaye and Paul's Place in Adelaide

This is where we're staying in Adelaide. No hardship here:) A little tennis followed by a dip in the pool. Fall weather for the past 3 days has been sunny (26C, 27C, 27C)

Gracie and her new friend.

Some of our Melbourne friends.

Lunch at Darling Harbour

Trying on new shoes

We thought we'd better get a few sizes too big so Emily could grow into them!
