Through an internet group that we both belonged to, I became friends with Jeff, a fellow from Sydney, Australia. He came to the US to visit me and DH and several other friends he’d made thru a few online groups. He returned 4 different years, for 2 mos. each visit, staying with friends all over the US.
We made a reciprocal visit to his country in '08, staying for 16 wonderful days. This page is from our visit to a popular zoo in the state of New South Wales (NSW) (NE part of Australia), which was coincidentally just a short distance from his home.

This is for Michele's scrapbook variety challenge, "It's a Heat Wave." We had to use orange or a sun. As you can see, I chose orange!
