Welcome to Australia and Queensland, John and family!!
You have come at a great time of the year, with the heat and humidity gone, and hopefully gorgeous weather to come.
Hope the bats dont get too noisy and smelly, and dont touch them as they can have a diseased bite.

Yes, get into those Aussie delicacies .... Vegemite (give it a chance) cherry ripes .... Timtams ... mmmmmmm.
Has been pretty cloudy up the East coast of Qld for a long time, so hope clears for you to view our bful southern skies!!
