South Australia and Victoria

Adelaide South Australia

Ella, Michelle and Todd took some time off to explore bits of Australia this past week. We went on a road trip this past week - Adelaide for a conference and then on to Melbourne. Ella had her third birthday here and seemed to enjoy the books and puzzles.

Adelaide was pretty impressive and the number of Universities as well as cultural sites to visit such as the Art Gallery, Museum and Botanical Gardens were great.

Melbourne Victoria

I really liked Melbourne and hope to get back there before the end of the year - we got to see Simone and Sally and Ella met Chloe. They seemed to have fun together and shared a passion for ice-cream.




The Gentoos
Ella liked the Gentoos
Both wonderful places and so different from each other as well as different from Queensland and Brisbane. Beginning to get a better perspective on the Australian culture and mentality. Was also happy to get back home to the relative warmth and familiarity of the East Coast (despite a full email inbox). Here are some photos that capture a bit of the trip.
