Apologies all for my absence from the world of blogging – but I’m back with many tales and images from our Australian adventures. Over three weeks we traveled through a relatively small part of Victoria and New South Wales but saw so much that fascinated us. Our trip encompassed great variations – from the Snowy Mountains where we drove through rainforest filled with tree ferns to emerge amongst snow covered peaks – to vast empty beaches where our only companions were wallabies. The flowers were so unfamiliar that I have yet to identify much of what I saw, but I will share the highlights over the next few days.
