No, not the movie... the actual country. We got back on Sunday. Only had a week there, found last a minute deal. Went with my mom, hubby and Siena (she was an awesome traveler!) We spent the first couple days in Cairns doing the Great Barrier Reef, where I did a dive and saw a sea turtle, HUGE clam shell (about 6 ft across!), among tons of other things. Snorkeling, we swam with a shark, Thad saw a cuttlefish, and TONS of other colorful and beautiful creatures!
The other 5 days were spent in Spectacular Sydney. We stayed at Manly beach, and enjoyed the opera house, botanical gardens, the zoo, the Blue Mountains, took a hike, traveled everywhere with the ferry and clean train system. I have never been to a big city that was so clean, beautiful and full of wonderfully happy, nice and helpful people! We liked it so well that we are making plans to move there when Thad finishes law school! 
Siena zonked out
crazy flowers we saw in the Botanical gardens
Siena with a huge koala at the Taronga Zoo (don't worry, we saw real ones too. This one just sat still for us, so uit was easier to nab a photo)
Sign in the park/at the beach
Siena standing on her own!
Beautiful, beautiful Manly beach

Snorkeling on the GBR with my honey, Siena making a hair fashio statement (she could be on a commercial with this pic!)
The huge fish named Wally. Can't remember what kind he was...
Cockatoos are everywhere!
