Insectiverous road kill behind our car grill. Delicate eco-systems mean nothing to us!










Baby loggerhead turtle, Mon Repos. It had jsut squirmed its way up out of it egg and through the sand. Very special to watch. Slightly ruined by the 25 school kids we "shared" the experience with.



Fraser Island

Lake McKenzie, Fraser Island.








Cheryl and Mike, folks we met, at Lake Wobby.











Wild dingo on the beach, Fraser Island. We got up at 5.45 to see this sunrise.







View of 70 mile Beach, Fraser Island










And the oil tanker displeased Martin, so he cast it upon the rocks and walked away...








Monitor Lizard. It had just caught a cricket before this photo was taken.










Giantest (we're sure that's a word) fern in the world, on Fraser Island's rainforest. Well, giantest species. Not this actual fern.

Brisbane

Martin and Vince, our couch surfing host.

Beyond Brisbane



Maroochydore Beach. When you can't surf due to cyclonic activity, all there is left to do is pose.






Kendrick the cute puppy.












First pint of proper bitter in 7 months. Happiness looks a lot like this.









Those crazy caterpillar things.









Just before we saw the snake.

Australia Zoo

Wombat asleep on pink blanket (just put in its den for bedtime as we walked past). As another English tourist commented "well, they aren't going to be releasing him back into the wild anytime soon".







Kara stroking her 2nd koala of the day.









Kara feeding the first of the 3 elephants.










Big croc + Small man = caution. This was another Martin feels like a soft city boy moment.
