Australia Here We Come

Slow week for the blog. Minimal traveling and picture taking on our parts. However we have an exciting next few days coming up. We're headed to Australia for the first time. Going to go visit the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns (pronounced 'cans' or I've been told it's supposed to rhyme with 'hands'. Either way, just forget the r). It's in Queensland in the northeast corner of Australia, with rainforests, sunny beaches and of course the reef. We are happy to trade in the early spring weather in Auckland (maybe mid 60's for a high) for the suntan lotion (low to mid 80's in Cairns).


Shout out to our first visitor to have booked travel to New Zealand. Matt Reinaker (college friend of mine if you don't know him) and his girlfriend Lauren are going to be visiting in late February. Dana and I will be hiking the Milford Track with them during their visit. Pretty excited already as it's known as one of most beautiful hiking tracks in the world.


Here's a link to a video on the track. http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/fiordland/fiordland/milford-track/features/video-of-the-milford-track/


Check back next week for some pictures of Cairns.
