Its time to leave for Oz, so here’s our basic itinerary. At this point, we have only three reservations – seats on an airplane going to and from Sydney, and our first hotel stay. The rest of the trip is free flowing. We will explore Sydney, drive the Outback from Sydney to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, see a tropical rain forest, walk the Great Ocean Walk, search for penguins and other wildlife on Kangaroo Island, and travel cross Tasmania.

Our goal? To have fun, experience a different culture, and cuddle a koala. Visit often to see where we’ve been.
