|  Going Around the World - Part V Well, we made it to Oz, which was the original intent before we decided to make it a full circuit. The weather is still rainy, but nowhere near as wet as Hong Kong was.  Sydney, Kingsford Smith Airport  The ride to Brisbane  Climbing out of Sydney... the House and the Bridge  Brisbane TWR   From the gate at BNE  Right turn over Brisbane on the way to Cairns  Cairns  Lunch at Palm Cove  A visit to the Reef  The boys' first helo ride  Above the Reef  Cairns airport from the Skyrail Tomorrow we head to Alice Springs for a few days, then to Melbourne... Then it's off to NZ.

| Re: Going Around the World - Part V Excellent Pictures. I loved Australia, I spent a month there. Sydney, Gold Coast, and Cairns. I have had blue tongue beer and its not too bad. But, i have to say James Boags Premium was the best I had. You seem to be having a trip of a lifetime, I hope I can take a trip like that one day.

| Re: Going Around the World - Part V The opera house turn photo is awesome! I have to ask, though, on the top - the tower, what the hell is that, a fun-slide?

| Moderator  | Re: Going Around the World - Part V Beautiful Pics....The kids will definetly have a story to tell when school starts up again. I cannot imagine making that kind of trip now, let alone as a youngster. How much planning went into this trip? Was it all done before you left or were some legs planned as you went along. Awesome Experience!

If I were to do this again, I'd build in a little more flexibility and free time.

| Re: Going Around the World - Part V That is exactly what it is and it was a breezy and choppy day... it didn't seem to bother the pilot, though, as he set us down as if it were dead calm. I'm guessing he's done it a time or two before.
