On our maiden voyage, the girls are ready to head out!!

Lots of dollars...

And sand poop!

And lots of creepy crawly things!!!

Our tinny awaits to take us back to the sailing vessel

Mt. O'Reillys

Welcome to Mt O'Reighlys, one of the most beautiful places in the world! About a two hour drive from Brisbane, with the 45 minutes of the driving navigating up a steep mountain, which reduces to one lane, in numerous places, with twists and turns, and sometimes huge tour buses barrelling down from the direction!

PS.  Some of these photos are courtesty of a friend....

Always an exciting trip just getting there!   Especially for these guys, I would imagine!

Lots of exotic birds living in the wild...

These birds will eat right out of your hand! Watch video...

Spectacular waterfalls...

What a view!

Beautiful fern.....

After a long day of hiking, time to relax, unwind with a glass of wine..



Apparently, the birds thought they were invited....



Ready to go out for the evening....

Vivid sunsets....

All that Horseback Riding calls for a hardy Breakie.   Our Chef...

Yes, Australians do eat baked beans for breakfast. And spagetti. And grilled tomatoes. And they add BBQ sauce to breakfast sandwiches.
