Almost three years ago my wife Andrea and I planned to go to Australia for our honeymoon. When our travel plans fell through, I promised her that someday we would get to Australia. Well that someday arrived and we spent two weeks in Australia from October 14-28, 1996! We purchased an Epson PhotoPC digital camera to take the pictures and posted them by dialing into Microsoft Network sites in Australia. We hope that you'll enjoy following our adventures in the Land of Oz and we promise our pictures are more exciting than your neighbor's last vacation slide show. You'll find an itinerary of our trip below with links to each day's page. Each of the pages has thumbprint (small) images of our pictures. I've also added a Photo Library for those of you who just want to see the pictures. There are 80 thumbprint images in all so be patient while the Photo Library is loading. To see the full image on any of the pages click on the thumbprint image. Thanks for visiting! These pages are dedicated to the memory of our daughter, Sydney Faith. They are also dedicated to our daughter Alexandra Elaine who has been fighting a battle against Leukemia since November 1998. For an update on her condition check out http://www.alexupdate.com. Thanks to Charlie and Rivian Bass whose Trip Down Under! was the inspiration for this site. |
