One of the best things about being here in Australia is the many bushwalks. The sights are usually amazing and the walk is worthwhile. Our first bushwalk at Flinders Chase National Park was hot, dirty and long; so we stopped partway, took a picture and then turned around to walk back. We did spot some rather large crayfish in the brackish water behind us in the picture above. Paul and Sharon enjoyed their first bushwalk though and loved the scenery.
Here is everyone at the bridge happily posing for a picture. Isabella is the designated leader in the next pose, which is good for two reasons: Colin learns that he doesn't always have to be first and Isabella will usually walk the entire way without us carrying her.
The next shot of Jared and John is to show you the path that we walked and the aftermath of a major bushfire. Most of Flinders was burned in December 2007. The trees show how much of the area was affected, but the bushes close to John show how resilient the earth is and how quickly new growth begins.
The one highlight of our bushwalk. Can you spot the wallaby?

The pics on this site are beautiful. I love kangeroos.
No I am not sure. Right middleish top of the last photo?
I found the wallaby when I clicked on the picture. Must be getting older. :-) You are sure enjoying the beauty there! I love seeing your kids! They are getting older.
I had to click on the picture to enlarge it, too. You sure are having a lot of *once-in-a-lifetime* experiences!
Great idea to make Isabella the line leader. Genius.
Are you scrapbooking all your adventures?
What an amazing adventure you guys are having. It's great that you and your family are really taking advantage of your time there! Your family looks beautiful.
