Here's a better picture of the falls.



2009.03.29 12:59
We stop for pictures along the descent to the falls.



2009.03.29 13:01
That's a nice family photo in front of the falls.



2009.03.29 14:14
We arrive at the start of the famous Twelve Apostles.



2009.03.29 14:14
This was the first of them. These giant rock stacks rise out of the waters of the Southern Ocean and are in the Port Campbell National Park that goes from Princetown to Peterborough.



2009.03.29 14:46
The tallest of these is about 45 meters.



2009.03.29 14:47
The kids look a little windswept.



2009.03.29 14:50
This is an echidna.



2009.03.29 14:53
They were quite pretty



2009.03.29 14:54
That's a winning smile!

2009.03.30 08:18
This was an awesome park in Warrnambool, the Lake Pertobe Adventure Playground.



2009.03.30 08:20
Mom, I'm too young for windsurfing!



2009.03.30 08:20
Uh oh, he's getting scared.



2009.03.30 08:21
Graham loves sand from an early age.



2009.03.30 08:40
The flying fox was best feature of any playground we went to in Australia and the rest of the world.



2009.03.30 08:50
Madeleine loves this new ride.



2009.03.30 08:50
Madeleine looks for someone to push her again.



2009.03.30 08:52
Graham goes for his first ride. One would think he's too young, but he loved it.



2009.03.30 08:52
Madeleine tries to help out by pushing.



2009.03.30 08:53
She's finding it's not easy.



2009.03.30 08:53
Here comes her brother.



2009.03.30 08:54
He starts to look a little sleepy.



2009.03.30 08:54
Madeleine is a doll for letting her brother go for a ride.



2009.03.30 08:55
She's such a good runner.



2009.03.30 08:55
Last ride.



2009.03.30 09:27
The really tired baby boy falls asleep with a chicken nugget in hand.



2009.03.30 16:37

Driving along the cool salt flats.



2009.03.31 12:47

2009.03.31 12:49
Madeleine's a huge fan of ice-cream.



2009.03.31 12:49
She's a pro at eating ice-cream cones.



2009.03.31 13:45
We pause for a photo in Hahndorf outside of Adelaide.



2009.03.31 14:29
It's a cute little German town.



2009.03.31 14:29
Nancy liked it so much we went twice.



2009.04.01 09:15
Madeleine enjoys the sites of downtown Adelaide.



2009.04.01 09:30
Daddy and Madeleine are looking pretty cute.



2009.04.01 09:30
Adelaide had some really pretty, traditional architecture.



2009.04.01 11:42
A pretty spot in the botanical gardens of Adelaide.

2009.04.01 14:23
Bryan wins the prize for best photo of the trip.



2009.04.02 07:21
Nancy's sick sense of humor again...Graham has a few puffed rice grains stuck to his runny nose. Ha ha.



2009.04.02 10:09
The absolutely fabulous Adelaide Central Market. Nancy visited three times in the three days we were there and they were only open two of the days we were there.



2009.04.02 19:39
Pretty Madeleine with her mommy.



2009.04.03 07:32
Madeleine's sad and she goes to hug Graham for comfort.



2009.04.03 07:38
Graham looks like he's punishing himself sitting all alone in the corner there.



2009.04.03 08:36
We visit the Cleland Wildlife Park. The koalas are pretty cute.



2009.04.03 08:37
Madeleine poses for a photo by making a funny face.



2009.04.03 08:38
Now that's pretty!



2009.04.03 08:38
The koalas were so close.



2009.04.03 08:39
These animals spend just about the entire day sleeping. Most of the zoos only allow them to be the center of attention a few hours a day.



2009.04.03 08:44
We have the chance to watch the koala walk around.



2009.04.03 08:52
Then, we get to see them eating they gum tree leaves.



2009.04.03 09:22
Madeleine bravely feeds these little fowl.



2009.04.03 09:29
Nice swan in the background and nice looking kids and dad in the foreground.



2009.04.03 09:38
Bryan goes to meet the kangaroos first.



2009.04.03 09:38
Then Madeleine comes to get some food to feed them too.



2009.04.03 09:39
She gets really close with her hand the first time.



2009.04.03 09:39
Then as she watches them a bit more.



2009.04.03 09:39
And spends more time around them she reconsiders.



2009.04.03 09:40
She decided that it's best to throw the food in their general direction rather than hand-feed them.



2009.04.03 09:41
She's so brave.



2009.04.03 09:41
The little kangaroo poses for a photo.



2009.04.03 09:51
Graham was pretty curious about these furry friends.



2009.04.03 09:52
Graham almost lost a toe in this family photo.



2009.04.03 09:52
They were so docile.



2009.04.03 10:40
Now that's a big kangaroo, the red kangaroo.



2009.04.03 10:40
They were all so gentle.



2009.04.03 10:41
He almost looks as big as Bryan.



2009.04.03 10:44
That there's a wombat.



2009.04.03 10:44
It's adorable and looks like a furry pig.



2009.04.03 10:45
Nancy wanted to take one home



2009.04.03 10:52
An echidna.



2009.04.03 10:58
Pretty sure this is a wallaby.



2009.04.03 10:59
They look like kangaroos to the untrained eye.



2009.04.03 11:04
Some other red kangaroos. These are easy to spot as they are so big.



2009.04.03 15:43
Bryan goes to an Aussie Rules game.



2009.04.04 13:04
Madeleine plays on the beach at Glenelg.



2009.04.04 13:14
I'm number one!



2009.04.04 13:15
Graham loved all the dried cruft on the beach.



2009.04.04 13:15
That is one toothy baby.



2009.04.04 13:19
Happy mommy and babies.



2009.04.04 13:20
Ah, the beach is so nice.



2009.04.04 13:27
Graham is loving the hole daddy's digging.



2009.04.04 13:27
Daddy has a lot of work to do when we go to the beach.



2009.04.04 13:32
He has to dig two holes for the kiddies.



2009.04.04 13:32
Toothy Graham enjoys sitting in the sand pit.



2009.04.05 09:20
This is what the inside of the car looked like when we removed the car seats. Hungry anyone?



2009.04.05 15:26
A view from our awesome hotel in Brisbane, the Brisbane Oaks Lexicon.



2009.04.05 15:30



2009.04.05 15:32



2009.04.05 15:32



2009.04.06 07:38
Nancy's not so happy it's so hot out.



2009.04.06 08:16
We find a fantabulous park in the Southbank area.



2009.04.06 08:16
Look how big this playground is and how many interconnection play structures there are.



2009.04.19 06:55
This playground in Brisbane wins the award for the best playground in Australia.



2009.04.06 08:37
Graham loved crawling around, especially over the running water.



2009.04.06 08:37
He was a bit hot and sweaty.



2009.04.06 08:57
There were endless places to crawl.



2009.04.06 09:05
There was this beautiful walkway.



2009.04.06 10:27
And, the amazing artificial beach with clorinated water. So cool. The kids didn't get washed away by the waves.



2009.04.06 10:31
Madeleine really loved it.



2009.04.06 11:19
Then we found the equally exciting water feature.



2009.04.06 11:20
It was an interesting and fun time with spraying water.



2009.04.06 11:20
Madeleine's walking through the model of the Brisbane River.



2009.04.06 11:20
The spraying water simulated downtown buildings



2009.04.06 12:37
Poor Madeleine burst into tears when she saw Bryan's head on a plate. It was so adorable.



2009.04.06 12:40
Nancy's feeling quite petite at this table.



2009.04.06 13:27
We walk a bit more through downtown Brisbane.



2009.04.06 13:28
Our last photo of our trip to Australia. Madeleine looks nice and tired out. She cried when we got home to our house in New Zealand..



2009.04.19 05:14
