Crikey!
Putting all the hassle and stress of that Volcanic eruption behind us we actually did have a fantastic holiday DOWN UNDER..... We saw lots unusual wildlife and met quite a few characters along the way. Below are some of the pics I took over the course of our vacation.

I bet border control searched you when you where leaving! 'um,sir, can you explain why you have 15 species of reef life in double bagged, heated containers?'
 
Oh nice! What did you use to take those pics? I'm sitting in a den in Bombay with a slack jaw and not much to say. I said to the man are you trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty.

The images of the sharks don't really give you a sense of scale.... believe me I wouldn't want to be in with those monsters in close proximity.

Seeing as I've started this in the Marine section and the rest of my photography relates to endemic Australian wildlife and such like.... would you all mind if I was to continue with some not so fishy imagery and continue my Australian tour within these confines...I can always remove them at a later date.

If so....stick with the program.

Watch out for the Mozzie's

Up next.....It's time for a little piece of Steve's legacy....

getting the itch to come back salty now C?
Truth be known Ben, If I had the money I would love to plunge right back in, but realistically that ain't gonna happen unless circumstances change. The need to balance the books especially in these times is paramount, especially with four children still living at home. LOL


Let's go to Beerwah (Australia Zoo)

Kinda unnerving really! a bronze of the family Irwin greets us as we enter and who's that guy with the Dingo!

You can't go anywhere in the zoo without being confronted or reminded of the CROCS! Steve's lifelong love.
