the melbourne identity: The Gold Coast
http://chelsealovesaustralia.blogspot.com/2009/10/gold-coast.html
View my complete profile. The Great Barrier Reef! A Day at the Rainforest. Who I keep up with. It has been a while since I've updated. but we've been gone for quite a while now! We went on a little trip up north, to the Aussie state of Queensland (in the upper right hand corner), and had the best time ever! Anyway, it really is a beautiful place, but very commercial. The climate reminded me a lot of southern California, (yay hot weather! Here's a picture of me with the Palmers, after all these years!

View my complete profile. The Great Barrier Reef! A Day at the Rainforest. Who I keep up with. Well, this is it. Very strange. We fly out of Australia today. Since we've been back on Sunday, things have been pretty crazy as we've tried to stuff 4 months of accumulation into already packed suitcases. along with the even more difficult task of saying goodbye to all of the wonderful people we've met here, without any confidence that we will "see them soon.". We flew into Cairns, then took a shuttle bus to t...

the melbourne identity: June 2009

View my complete profile. Who I keep up with. Well, we're not there yet. . Actually, I'm not even done packing! But, we are under 24 hours till the flight leaves, and the anticipation is killing me! We've spent the last hour searching google earth to preview all the places we're about to see, then pulling out old photo albums of me with my parents at those places 15 years ago! The beaches are absolutely ridiculous. And that's just in the pictures. Jen and her parents come tomorrow, then we're off!

View my complete profile. Sydney, Sydney, Sydney! Who I keep up with. Alex, this is for you. :) haha no but really I'm sorry I have been so behind with the updates! Last week I had no internet, remember? We're back in Mt. Eliza this week, and back with the Hansens, weighing out some options here. The title of this post is 'day by day.' That is completely how we are living right now, and it is the weirdest thing ever. I don't know what will happen next week, and not even really tomorrow! On Saturday, our ...

View my complete profile. Who I keep up with. Here's something I haven't written about. all the kids here have to wear uniforms to school. Not just private schools either- every single school. It's crazy! Hahaha we were all laughing so hard! Here's Jen in Sophie's winter uniform, with Sophie alongside in the summer uniform- complete with hat! Here's Jen and Soph getting ready for school. In other news, we leave for Queensland on Wednesday! September 28, 2009 at 11:22 PM. Hahaha miss you so much!

the melbourne identity: intense camping trip
http://chelsealovesaustralia.blogspot.com/2009/09/intense-camping-trip.html
View my complete profile. Who I keep up with. This is the lovely 3-man tent Jen and I shared for the week. honestly- whoever comes up with those numbers is ridiculous. Oh, and both of us are officially tent experts by now. We put this up and took it down and put it up and took it down. love it. One of the highlights of the evenings was teaching everyone how to make s'mores- can you even imagine camping without them? However, I'm not sure if any of you heard about the horrible dust storm. Perhaps not the ...

http://chelsealovesaustralia.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Who I keep up with. So several people have been asking what we have been up to on a daily basis, and here's some news pertaining to the everyday. . I just finished reading a book called Crazy Love. What if that poor person I'm serving lunch to was my grandmother? Wouldn't we treat them differently? Wouldn't we want the very very best for them? Something to think about. Have you ever spent time with people who are truly extraordinary? In Australia. He is also the chairman of ...

View my complete profile. The Great Barrier Reef! A Day at the Rainforest. Who I keep up with. The Great Barrier Reef! Okay, so I have been waiting for this day my whole life. Going to the Great Barrier Reef has always been on my "life to-do list," and here we are! Even though I lived in Australia for 3 years when I was younger, we never made the trek all the way up north to see it! This definitely is my favorite thing we have done so far. :). How gorgeous is this water? Here we are snorkeling! So she co...
