Australia
July 25 - August 11, 2005
We wanted to go far; we wanted to experience the spectacular; we wanted to see astounding starry skies; we wanted to be where the people were friendly and the animals extraordinary; we wanted to experience a multitude of climates and trek through numerous geographical wonders...of course we went to Australia!
We started our trip in Sydney (only a 23 hour hop from Paris...), flew north to Lizard Island to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, then to Port Douglas and the Daintree Rainforest. Next we flew north-west to Darwin and the Kakadu Reserve, then south to Ayers Rock (Uluru), and finally ended our trip in Melbourne.
