G-Day Mate! :-)

We made it to Australia and it's GREAT to be here! Martin picked us up after our LONG flight and we went back to their beautiful home in Oyster Bay. Took a trip to the local grocery to buy some supplies and as soon as the boys returned from school we hit the beach. Adrian and Daniel provided expert instruction on the finer points of body boarding and we were quickly catching some good waves! What a fun afternoon at Wander Beach. After some sun time we stopped in a chocolate shop in Cronulla!

Lorikeets everywhere! Martin and Ruth's backyard is a bird paradise! We marveled and took a million photos of the gorgeous Lorakeets within arm's reach. They also have a Magpie and Kookaburra that hang out often. 
Tonight Ruth treated us to a feast with local Marlin as our entree. Delicious! 

Martin, Ruth, Daniel and Adrian are so hospitable and wonderful (just as I suspected) and in just 24 hours Bob and I are having a wonderful time!
