Australia--rich and rare!
How do you put together this caleidoscope of colours, this collage of Australia,
that is like a huge mural swirling with Rosella parrot wings, frothy white surf, the
sound of a million cicadas and the scent of honey and dry, burned woods?
The crackle of gumtree twigs under your feet, the creamy balm of winds laden
with moisture, the squeaky sound of coral sand sliding between your toes?
The warm hug of friends seen so long ago?And of new friends who were not on Facebook?
There was so much to see and much we did see, but most of Australia, though this was our 5th time there, still lies unexplored. If you cram in too many impressions you loose the details in a whirlwind. You miss out on the stories of people tell,you don`t see the
snake curled up in a sunny glade nor savour the taste of a wild mango given to
you by someone who just stopped to talk. As we explained to a nice couple
along the Bruce Highway, we have chosen to spend time with friends too.
”Oh, blow the friends! See Australia! ” they laughed.
So we tried to do both.
Watch a few videos; . Koalas. Floodways. Just short snippets!
