Kitchie and Michael having a feel of the snake, Jake and Luke aren't that brave.

We went to Halls Gap Wildlife Park & Zoo which is a 3 hour drive from Melbourne to the Grampians. The kids had a lovely time feeding and touching the animals. There is an albino kangaroo, lots of deers and kangaroos. You can see Jake feeding a wallaby.

Orly was recently featured in a site named Expat Interviews.
This website was co-created by my bookworm sister. You can view her profile here and here.

We spent our Christmas holiday in Sydney. We drove from Melbourne to Sydney for 11 hours with few stopovers to eat and refuel only. It was a nice drive seeing the countryside of Victoria and New South Wales. A bit dry though since it is summertime now.

Orly's siblings and their families take a break and have their pics taken. Seen behind is the Harbor Bridge, to climb to the top is a long walk and an expensive endeavor, but worth the view. We didn't try it though.

Of course, we had to have a family picture taken at the famous Opera House. It was a perfect day for a walk and have a great view of the Sydney Harbor.

During our stay in Sydney, we drove up to Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains are named so because, from Sydney, they look blue.
