Love your pictures! The kangaroo with joey in the pouch is amazing!

It’s like being there with you. You have a unique ability to make the “reader” feel very involved. So glad you were able to meet and make new friends on the trip.

I was in Brisbane decades ago and I remember it as “The Brown Place”. Of course, I was on a business trip so did not see much of the city but that overall impression of everything being brown persists so you surprised me a little when you wrote about the green places. For all that, I still love the Aussies and their wonderful sense of humour.
