I'm in Australia!

Australia is really cool!!

Here is a picture of the snake we saw in front of our cabin! We think it was a brown carpet boa! There are 3 poisonous snakes near our camp so we have to be careful!!



Here is a road sign from Australia! There are NO stop signs! This sign means "Yield" or stop for traffic!



I will be traveling to Brisbane sometime on this trip and will visit the Australia Zoo! I will get lots of picture of the place where Steve Irwin is buried!
