As you can see point A would be Tullamore, we spent the night in Tamworth (point B) which is higher in elevation and was freezing, then went through Armidale which actually had snow!
Then we headed down toward the beach and on the way down went through some tropical rainforest in Dorrigo (point C). Daniel and I fell in love with the city! We then carried on to Macksville (point D) and off to Newcastle to celebrate 3 birthdays! Happy Birthday Erica, Andrew and Annabelle! Check out more pictures here.
Of course we had to go and feed the kangaroos again. Thats always free entertainment for the family, especially Adeline! And more pictures here.
We also went to Blackbutt Reserve to see the koala bears! They are so cute! I had never seen one in real life so that was a treat! We even got to pet one! More pics here.
We had such a good time seeing all the animals and spending time with family! And on the way home we saw an echidna! They are a little like porcupines but they don't throw their spikes. And they have little long noses for digging in the dirt and searching for bugs to eat. The neighbor said we had several in our back pasture...we haven't seen them yet. Maybe they will come visit us in the spring! Here is a link for what they look like without being balled up...http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.abc.net.au/science/scribblygum/June2000/img/f_echid10.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.abc.net.au/science/scribblygum/June2000/f_echid10.htm&h=491&w=487&sz=67&tbnid=cbFfZYO7GQAJ::&tbnh=130&tbnw=129&prev=/images%3Fq%3DEchidna&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=3&ct=image&cd=1
And last but not least, Daniel finally got a haircut!!! Michelle and I took Adeline to the park while he had a wonderful transformation! Enjoy all the pics!
It was a wonderful trip! I can't wait till the next one when Grammy comes to visit!!!! Only 10 weeks! Already counting down!

Wow! I am so envious of your trip. It is hard for us to imagine you seeing snow in July. It is close to 95 today with high humidity so both the window A/C units are going full blast. Great pix and video clips. The one of Daniel's hair cut brought an error page so missed that one. Nell's so lucky to be going to visit. Saw Chip was at Brian's and Katie had some pix. It is always good to see you kids and know you are having fun there. What a wonderful experience for you all. Hugs and love, Auntie M
