Rain Forest

Beth here.  We went into the ancient rain forest on a bush-wracking hike in the southern most part of Australia.  Here is a picture of Larry in front of a 300 year old mountain ash tree.  These are absolutely huge and make Larry look like a dwarf.  It is very humbling.  It was a wonderful walk.  The smell of the forest is lovely.  It is so different from anywhere else I have been.  It reminds me of Africa a little but the smell is sweeter.  I took a video of the sounds of the birds . Could not catch them as they flew around.  Tried to catch 2  beautiful red parrots in the bush.  The buggers flew over my head too fast for me.  So far we are having an amazing and very awe-inspiring time.  I have fallen In Love with Australia and their people.
