Beth here
Well, I found my niche. We went to the bird sanctuary after the train trip. I have some amazing pictures of this. They have birds from the rainforest in an enclosed area where you can feed them. I had one bird eating off my shoulder and then another joined him. I had so much fun. the interesting thing is that we have seen some of these birds in the wild. The sounds are amazing. We tried to capture some of the sounds on video. We saw a huge beautiful McCaw very colourful who talked backed to us. We have all of this on video. Australia is so diverse. There are so many things to see and do. I must admit for those who can't stand the heat they would have a hard time. It reminds me of Africa but there we did not have A//C. Thank heavens our little car and apartment are well conditioned. It must be at least 35 or 37 degree. As Larry's father used to say, "it's 35 in the shade and there ain't no shade". This is not the tourist time here. It is too hot. Also the rain season is about to start.
Larry is feeling nostalgic. 45 years ago to day he started ATC. He still misses it but not the crazy hours. Allan: when Bev retires you will have to visit the Langs.
Am looking forward to our day off, doing laundry, swimming at the beach, etc.
Can hardly wait to swim on the Great Barrier Reef. We are going on a catamarin that only takes 23 people. Larry and I are not terribly tanned yet because we wear strong sunscreen and hats we are getting accustomed to it. You should see my new hat. Very Aussie
