Some holiday pictures

We have just gotten back from 2 weeks down at the far south coast of New South Wales, Australia. We have been going to the same place for almost 20 years now and the kids feel like it's our other home.
We fish, swim, walk on the beach and feed the birds, the place we stay is very small with only 15 cabins and in the middle of a National Park. We see eagles, pelicans, seals and dolphins in the surf, sometimes lizards and snakes, kangaroos and wallabies, my idea of paradise

I was complaining about the new calenders. Always snow pictured in the winter months and desert in the summer months. So a friend from another board sent me a calender from Austrailia and now I am looking at Russell Falls, Mount Field National Park, Tasmania. Soooo beautiful!!! Hope you have some of your photos where you can look at them and not stuck in an album somewhere, that you only look at 'sometimes.' Thanks for posting the pics and the 'kid' with the birds is kinda cute, too. (Yes, I know it's you! LOL)

Thanks for sharing the photos with us I wish I could just magically appear on that beach all I see outside is mounds of snow! I am so ready for spring to get here, and I love all those lovely birds in that picture they are my favorite bird.

Beautiful pictures! It looks so relaxing. The birds are pretty too

How beautiful. I have to admit I could do without the snakes though!!! Absolutely petrified of them & I understand that some of the most poisonous snakes in the world live in Australia. Good luck with that. It is an absolutely beautiful spot. Enjoy.

Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing. We had frost on the pier this morning so this gives us something to remind us that you folks from down under will be sending Mr. Sun back up here soon! Those birds are gorgeous. They put our duck to shame!

Yes, that does look like paradise!! Those birds are gorgeous-are they native to the area? Water is always so peaceful and beautiful. I would like your spot for a second home, too!

Those birds are quite common along the East Coast. They are very cheeky about letting us know that they have arrived for snacks.

roadrunr 02-07-2012 07:09 AM

That sure would be a nice place to go for vaction one year!

cat2quilt 02-07-2012 08:07 AM

That looks like a peaceful place to spend time.

Your pics are beautiful! Love that sandy beach. I got to Australia in 1990 but haven't had a chance to go back. I loved it when I was down under! The colors of your birds are just beautiful. I can see why this is your favorite vacation spot.

GreatStarter 02-07-2012 12:02 PM

Wow, those pictures sure look like Heaven to me! Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous pictures of paradise.
