Surfs up Mate

I am so happy to post this Australia surfing series...
I thought I had lost all of these pictures, and was so bummed... I mean how often do your sister and husband take a surfing lesson together. Umm like NEVER...  The conditions weren't exactly perfect, but they totally made the best of it.  My sister has been surfing at home in Kona for a while, but it was her desire to take a lesson in Australia. We ended up in Torquay just around the corner from the very famous Bells Beach! They had a really fun few hours being bashed around in the waves. I passed the time watching them from the beach as their designated photographer...


I was unfortunately too chicken to take a lesson,  the combo of wet suits, cold water, and sharks put me totally off... I know I suck!!! My sister and Hubby are SO brave...

Great Ocean Road Trip




 During out stay in Melbourne Australia we did an over night trip down to Lorne on the Great Ocean Road.  I thought for sure we wouldn't get a chance to see Koalas in the wild, I had just been reading how rare it was to see them in their natural habitat. We went searching for them, and at first it seemed we had missed them... but he who seeks shall find! To say we had an amazing time watching these Koalas and parrots is an understatement. It was so exciting to see them just chilling in the gum trees...
My sister even got a video of one of the Koalas waving to her!
