Outside the big cities of the east coast, there is a lot to see.
The southeast coast is a greenbelt, with everything from semi-arid to lush
pasturelands and rainforest. Great scenery, plus many fun & interesting
towns. Click on the thumbnail for a large view of the

Lighthouse
The south coast is home to Australia's prime surfing beaches. Unfortunately,
when we were there it looked more like Southern California on a poor day. |

D in the Rainforest
She was actually more pleased than this picture would suggest. It was fun,
honest! |

Sheep v.s. Car
On this tight roadway, the sheep had no escape and we "pushed" them for about
a kilometer before they found an out. |

Coast Waterfall
Abundant rain makes for lots of scenic waterways. |

A south coast sight, erosion has created these monuments. They were once part
of arches. |

Everyone loves kangaroos except the farmers & ranchers who actually have to

Emus meet D
Agressive, are they not? |

Coal Mine Explorers

interesting. |

Coal Mine Tour
In the USA, the lawyers would never allow this. Lots of dripping water and
stuff to get wrapped up in. |

Small Towns
Although the population primarily resided in the big cities, the small towns
have a lot to offer. |

Scarecrows
Americans see in Australia the America that is no longer. |

For D, any opportunity to commune with wildlife is not to be missed. |

D Meets Koala
Koalas are in great demand for show-and-tell but are not to happy with the
idea. (Also, they stink!) |

Old Taz is hard to photograph, they never stand still! |
