Off to Australia

I love Oz

Actually, today I am not going to Australia. However, it was a year ago today that I was packing my bags to hop on a plane to Australia. I spent one of the most memorable months of my life in that wonderful country.

Although, I missed the Boy terribly, and it was an odd feeling to be so out of touch with my friends and family I would go back in a heartbeat. And I've already told the Boy that next time he is coming with me.

So since I have been reminiscing I am declaring this week Australia week! At least the next couple of days. First we'll reminisce about the posts I wrote while I was there, and then I'll share some more good stuff with you!

Selling Australian Cattle - this was an awesome day at an Australia auction market.

They sure do like chicken in Australia - chicken plus chips equals an odd combination. I loved all the lamb, beets on sandwiches and burgers, and Tim Tams I ate in Australia, but there was no way I was eating chicken flavored chips.

Koalas, Kangaroo and Dingos oh my - now you can't visit Australia without seeing a Kangaroo. However, my family found it a little harder than we originally thought. For a short time we thought that all we had heard about seeing kangaroos everywhere was just a ploy to get us to Australia.

The Australia Feedlot - besides surfing, one of my favorite parts of my trip was visiting an Australia feedlot. This was a very progressive feedlot in Australia, and I was impressed with the quality of care for the cattle and the cattle themselves. There is actually a Part 1 and Part 2 to this post. Plus, I got to spend the day with my awesome friends Shelly and Matt.
