If you think koala’s are sticky…you should hear the noise they make! Given their adorable fluffy, cute persona…the very loud..um…grunting noises they make are TOTally at odds with what you’d think.
Glad you came to Oz and yeah, the slang is a bit strange, and the weather fairly unpredictable. But we’re fun!

Ohhhh, that koala! So precious.

But you had me screaming and running for the other room at the mention of a human-hand-sized cockroach. I would have been wide awake all night.

Um could you tell us where that gray dress is from? At least tell me please, because I’m not applying for the job in Australia

Hello, love! I still owe you a long, explanatory email about the recent engagement, but chaos is life lately. However, in the meantime, I’m glad you managed to squeeze in some fun on your trip and I swooned over that gray dress! Talk to you soon.

Okay I finally posted the pictures of you and I from last year. Did I ever even email those to you? Gah. Can’t believe it took me so long!!

By the way, the koala is absolutely adorable. Shawners wanted to know which ones in the sperm suits were women. I had to tell them, unfortunately, I think they’re all men.

And, oh my gosh, you’re such the perfect shoe-in for that job!! Beauty and talent in a beautiful setting. What more could they ask for?!

koala! I’m going to pretend that they aren’t stinky and slimy because they are just so damn cute.

Great photos! I never knew that koalas were stinky & slimy, who knew? I just moved to Melbourne 4 months ago, but haven’t done nearly as exciting things as you have in my time, probably because I have 2 little boys, oh well. Love following your adventures!

Saw your pics of Lizard Island and wanted to know what you think of it. I’ve always wanted to visit that island, and at the time I was in Australia it was the costliest island to visit (or maybe second to Hamilton Island? All I remember is seeing $400/night on the guidebook). I ended up visiting Heron Island instead and loved it. Hope you got some free time to yourself at Lizard Island.

Hope the trip is going well!
