This is Marco and Stacey playing pool, with Angela and Cory watching. I don't know if it's an Australia thing or just this particular pub, but they don't have numbered billiard balls, just two different colors. I don't think this shot is gonna work.
Cory and I went to this place called "Healesville Sanctuary" so we could get our Australian-animal fix. They cared for many of the animal victims from the bushfires.
The Koalas were very photo-friendly, although I hear they're not so friendly in real life.
Tasmanian Devil. Definitely a highlight. There was a zoo-keeper standing nearby with a bucket of miscellaneous chicken parts.
It's hard to express how big these pelicans were, but if you can believe it, that's a normal-sized duck in front of them.
My local mixed-business milk bar.
Cory at the footy game. Footy is slang for Australian Rules Football. I guess it's a cross between soccer, American football and rugby. Cory was sold and I admit, it was pretty cool. It's like a school-yard game more than anything. And the fans are into it the whole time.
Some sort of Sydney thing. I think Katie Couric's been there.
The Anzac stairs - a Sydney tradition. There's a giant mattress at the bottom and if you jump, they give you a free boomerang.
They have these all over Melbourne and since Cory is more daring than me (I?), I made him try one. At the bottom, you get a surprise. That's all I'm saying. I'll get Alex to try one next.
At the airport, wasting time before the inevitable. Alex updates next!
