Australia

Our Australia trip was the most exciting for me, because I was able to make several side trips. We drove north of Sydney into the wine area. Australian wines are excellent, and one of the members of the trip filled the back of the station wagon with cases of wine. As far as trees, valleys and views, Australia is most beautiful underwater in the Great Barrier Reef. The extent of my experience, though, was to walk up to my shoulders, testing my bravery. But the fear of sharks and the cold water sent me back to the shore.
