After arriving safely in Australia the first thing Gavin took me to was the Kalkari Discovery Centre in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. We took a walk on one of the trails. Upon spotting my first kangaroo I realized I was far from home. On our walk we also saw a swamp wallaby, a water dragon, some turtles, and lots of different gum trees. A very nice first outing in Australia.

A couple of weeks after our first visit to the national park we returned for a picnic and a took a walk through the mangroves. This walk was along a boardwalk a couple of feet over a muddy area. Scurrying across the mud were hundreds of little mud crabs. Fast little guys.
