Iowans to Oz

The much anticipated visit of my Uncle Gerry, Aunt Mary and cousin Jill from the US finally arrived. Its their first time to Australia and with only 2 weeks here, including a quick trip up to Sydney, there was no time to lose. So far we've managed to fit in:
- Dandenongs to experience the Aussie bush and feed the rosellas
- Healsville Sanctuary to see the Aussie wildlife (koalas, kangaroos, etc)
- Wine tasting at the Yarra Valley
- Great Ocean Road

Mary, Jill, me and Bonnie

Jill: "Is that the way home?"

Who says sisters can't get along (well most of the time anyway)?

....and the rest of the Apostles

Tomorrow we're venturing into the city to show them the sites before flying up to Sydney on Wed. Phew, I'll be exhausted by the time I go back to work on Monday

Looks like you're having a great time. I'm so jealous. Just think of us with snow (and some ice). Should be in the 30's most of the week here so not too bad.
Sacha, I enjoy the blog. I'll let mom & dad know to check it out. Later
