Goodday!
Well, we have arrived at Fraser Island, AU. We are discovering many things. Among them: kangaroos (we have seen many of them), the fact that Brenna gets motion sick, resorts are amazing, Australians simplify words by adding a "y" after the first syllable (for example: "brekky" = breakfast), and the east coast of Australia is quite lush!
We are currently at the Kingfisher Bay Resort. We arrived earlier today by ferry. Due to weather and timing, we haven't been able to explore much, but we are hoping to venture out more tomorrow. Several of the kids are taking a 4 wheel drive tour of the island tomorrow and the rest of us plan to get some hiking in. The resort is lush--very ecofriendly and amazlingly beautiful. The vegetation is very rainforesty and there are numerous signs posted throughout warning people to stay away from the dingoes--don't try to pet them or feed them! We're told that neither kangaroos or koalas live on the island, much to our disappointment. However, there are MANY birds...Mr. Ellis is in heaven!
I hope to update more later. We've been disappointed at the lack of affordable Internet options :( The kids are doing great and I am really grateful to have this experience with them.
