Here is the remainder of highlights from my trip Down Under. Andrew was kind enough to invite a few of us back to his hometown of Sale, where he lives in a beautiful, rural area called Bushy Park. We were greeted by his beautiful parents into their amazing home, where we had some of the best home-cooked meals.
After spending a few nights at the Phelan's, we departed for our journey to one of Australia's most beautiful national parks: Wilson's Promontory. Not only was the by the mountainside, but Wilson's Prom was right along the coastline as well.
3 Hours to Wilson's Prom!
Our stay at Wilson's Promontory was made up of a lot of nature walks and hiking. It was an amazing place.
We always find ways to get really weird.
The highlight of Wilson's Prom (besides the magnificent weather) was a large cliff drop that went into this basin. The weather was overcast, so we knew the water would be way too cold to swim in, but it didn't matter. There would never be a chance to jump into that basin ever again.
Overall, it was a mistake to have swam in that water. We shivered for the rest of the day.
The next day was a beautiful one. It was a perfect day to hit the coastline and enjoy the beach.
Some of us enjoyed it far more than the others.
The wonders of self-timers. The whole gang is here.
we're so attractive.
Australia has some wild animals...
...but we're far more wild.
We decided that it was a great idea to take a photo of us doing a handstand. It took us more than 20 tries to get all of our legs out. "You have to put your legs together like an elegant bird." -Andrew Phelan.
That's the best we got.
Nothing beats a beautiful sunset.
wombats everywhere!
Snags!
Another day, another beach.
This is where a riptide almost took me into the ocean. I thought I was going to drown that day.
Luckily, these boys had my back.
We then decided to go for a hike. Wonderful hike it was.
The memories continue. What I would do to be back there with those beautiful friends again. I miss them.
