 Early Morning sunrise by unravelau
The first place that I would take a visitor to is the beach where I walk most mornings. There is something absolutely heartstarting about Australia's beaches.....and it doesn't really matter which one, they are all beautiful. The mid north coast where I live, and early in the morning is clean, quiet and different every day.......just amazing. If I could bottle it up and give a piece to everyone I would.
Fondest Memory:
Of course when away in Italy I miss my family and the early morning beach walk most of all.
I really enjoyed raising my family of 2 sons and a daughter, but there is something even more special about grandchildren. They sure do add a dimension to your life.......it must have something to do with unconditional love. It just beams out of the little blossoms.

 Baby koala hugged by Mum
and having a feed by unravelau
Favorite Thing:
Another important activity for Australia and its well being would be the daily tree hugging. Gum trees are native to Australia and one species makes the food for our Koala population. All trees purify our air so its a good idea to give a tree a hug a day............
Fondest Memory:
I do miss my tree hugging but try to do that wherever I am. Leave a Comment

 Rainforest walk in Dorigo by unravelau
One of many favourite things about Australia is the rain forest magic. It is like walking into a mystical sea, but not getting wet..........oops that is not quite right because you can actually get a bit damp just walking in one. And, what with frequent showers (otherwise why would we call it 'rain forest'), you are likely to get very damp.
Some kind of insect repellant would be a must, plus your raincoat (a light one because it can be very steamy in there), and a small container of salt could be useful too (for leaches). A friend now living in NZ, formerly of the UK and a new member now of VT, proudly displayed his leech bight for a photograph.............must ask him to show it here. He gained it on a walk through Dorrigo National Park.
Fondest Memory:
Miss the beach and my family mostly.

 Better to travel in the Dry
season! by Kate-Me
As you see from the photo, this time of year really isn't a good time to go touring!
During the wet season, there always seems to be floods, at least somewhere, and they can last for weeks. Leave a Comment

 Emus by Kate-Me
They are curious birds, and those used to humans are usually anything but shy! (ie they'll steal your picnic lunch if they're given even half a chance, so beware!...standing 5 feet tall, in the battle for your lunch, they can be a bit intimidating.) Leave a Comment

 Every one looks totally
huggable to me by unravelau
Go into any Australian forest. Close your eyes and and centre yourself. Take three deep breaths and line up the object of your affections. Walk slowly, yet purposefully with arms outstretch ready for the embrace. When you have arrived, let the right cheek gently rest on the bark while you enclose as much of its trunk as you can, in your arms. Close your eyes and give thanks that we still have trees to produce our oxygen and allow us to live on earth.
I miss hugging my friends and family most when I am away from home. Leave a Comment

 Frill Necked lizard by Kate-Me
I particularly love the reptiles (excluding snakes!) in the Australian outback. Often you can see lizards sunning themselves by the side of the roads. Leave a Comment
