Well, there were so many more photos I wanted to show that I decided to break them up into a series. Last week I showed you photos of the Koala Sanctuary. This time, I have photos from the hinterland, a place up in the mountains that separate the Gold Coast from the Western Australia (the bush). It is beautiful and where you'll find dairies, quaint little shops and a rainforest. Pretty amazing.
We are with Lynn and LuAnn Cole, Devon's parents and they are the couple who made this trip to Australia possible for us for two reasons. One, they were serving a mission in Australia for the LDS Church at the time, and second because they wanted us to come see them. We missed each other and it was wonderful to experience the best of Queensland. They took us around to see the sights.
One of our favorite places to visit was Nutworks, a macadamia factory. We tried so many kinds of flavors of macadamias there and I bought a recipe book too. One thing that caught my attention was the cool way they recycled the outer macadamia shell. They used it as mulch in their landscaping. I thought it was really creative! There is also a photo of the city of Brisbane. It is just beautiful. It was taken at the top of Kangaroo point where the LDS Temple and Institute is situated. What a wonderful place to gaze upon the city, don't you think? If I ever figure out how to get a video up and running, I would show you the "flight of the fruit bats." At twilight we got to see them up in the air, getting ready for their nightly feast. Very cool. I do love bats.

It may not be the best video of a bat, but check out how huge he was!!!

I like the new picture of your family in front of the field. That's a nice looking crop of wheat! And an even better looking crop of kids!
