http://macventure.blogspot.com/2006/10/cape-tribulation-rainforest-meets-reef.html
View our other blogs:. Oblaks - the growing family of clouds. Cape Tribulation - Rainforest meets the Reef. We settled into a small B&B called Rainforest Hideway and remained in the place for three nights. Cape tribulation at dusk. Here we're on Noah Beach with the Noah Range in the background. Beautiful water, empty beach and a stunning backdrop. Yep, Australia is a dangerous place. Crock warnings are put up when one the fellas is spotted and the stinger (stinging jelly-fish) warnings are there all ...

McCloud's adventures: July 2006

View our other blogs:. Oblaks - the growing family of clouds. 60 years of ANU. Haven't seen that before. Us at the front face of the parliament building, with the white facade and the giant flagpole. A view from the side. This is why the whole building seems to be burried under a hill. And here's the object that at a distance makes the parliament look like a giant satelite dish. The flag is supposed to have the dimensions of a London double-decker bus. National Museum of Australia. Now Dr. Daddy-D.

McCloud's adventures: Kuranda day trip
http://macventure.blogspot.com/2006/09/kuranda-day-trip.html
View our other blogs:. Oblaks - the growing family of clouds. One of the must-do things in Cairns is to go on a day trip to Kuranda up in the hills behind Cairns. At the end of the cable track is the (themepark) village of Kuranda. After a wholesome brekky we entered Birdland which is a collection of Australian and "exotic" birds from other countries. It is also here that we saw for the first and the last time a Cassowary. This is a real bewdie, a red-tailed black cockatoo! Now Dr. Daddy-D.

In commemoration of all the Australian soldiers who faught and died in battles the government has built this memorial, which also houses an extensive exhibition about all the mainly overseas battlefields where Australian soldiers have faught. The inner court of the memorial with the memorial hall at the far end. In the middle of the pond the eternal flame burns for the fallen soldiers. Very traditional! Black Mountain and Telstra Tower. We've ...

McCloud's adventures: Outback Undara
http://macventure.blogspot.com/2006/10/outback-undara.html
View our other blogs:. Oblaks - the growing family of clouds. Our little tent containing two beds, a light and that's it. Temperatures do creep down to only a couple of degrees at night, so you'd better tuck yourself well under the blanket. In the morning we were honoured with the company of these Northern Nailtail Wallabies. Notice the length of its tail! When having bush brekky you had better watch your bacon! The tubes are not without life. Small bats like this fella like to "hang out" in the tubes.

McCloud's adventures: Cairns
http://macventure.blogspot.com/2006/09/cairns.html
View our other blogs:. Oblaks - the growing family of clouds. The first task when heading to Cairns is to get the pronunciation right! Try and I'll test you if I see you. First day in Cairns we made arrangements for the rest of our trip, booking hostel rooms and getting a rental car. Unfortunately, we will probably most rememeber Cairns as the place were we had our camera snatched from our bag. Therefore, we have no pictures of the previous destinations as they were all in the camera memory.

McCloud's adventures: Port Douglas and The Great Great Barrier Reef
http://macventure.blogspot.com/2006/09/port-douglas-and-great-great-barrier.html
View our other blogs:. Oblaks - the growing family of clouds. Port Douglas and The Great Great Barrier Reef. Instead of going on the obligatory reef-trip from Cairns we decided to head to a more enjoyable place to be the base of our reef trip namely Port Douglas (Port). We spent our first afternoon at the 4 mile beach in Port. Although the sand is not that white, the beach is really nice. The only tricky part is the high tidal difference. This is Emma with snorkeling gear and a wet-suit to keep her warm&...

The symbol of Sydney and to some extent even of Australia. The Sydney opera house. How come this one is not in Copenhagen, instead of the giant shoe-box that IS there? Here's another symbol of Sydney, where the fireworks display is put on every New-Year. The Sydney Harbour Bridge. Just the two of us and the Opera house.

View our other blogs:. Oblaks - the growing family of clouds. On the 19th of September we returned back to Canberra in order to go for another ultrasound scan of our baby - all ok (see the baby blog. Secondly, we needed to recollect the heap of luggage that we had stored in the office of one of Daniel's colleagues at the ANU. As it happened, we were quite lucky with our planning, as the 20th was the first day of the Canberra floriade. A beautiful Tulip-looking flower. This is what the outback brekky is a...
