Australia's countryside

Today Steve and I rented a car and took a drive up the Sunshine Coast. It was our first experience driving on the opposite side of the road. It was a little strange at first but you honestly catch on pretty quickly. We drove about 2 1/2 hours outside of Brisbane city. It was cool to see the countryside and the forests. We stopped for lunch in a little place called Tin Can Bay. It was adorable! The place where we had lunch feeds dolphins every morning at 8 am, just in knee deep water! The dolphins come right in to eat breakfast! We then ended up at a beach called Shelly Beach, went swimming and enjoyed the ocean before heading home. An awesome day!


Australia type pine trees.
Note that we're on the opposite side of the highway...driving! Steve drove there and I drove back, until I got tired and made Steve drive again :)

I took this picture of Steve from the passenger seat. It's weird sitting in what would be the driver's side in Canada but the passenger seat in Australia.
Steve experiencing driving on the opposite of the street for the first time.

Loving the pictures.

Good to see you are enjoying life out there, is your car a manual? Changing gear with your other hand can be a bit strange.

Yes, its kind of like masturbating with your left hand.
