Bowman in the Bush

One of the greatest parts of being in Australia was all of the walking and running I got to do as we explored the country.

We walked on a few different sections of the Great Ocean Trail, which ran right by the coast and was beautiful.

My favorite hike took us to a waterfall where Dad taught me all about choosing the best rocks to throw in the river.  We spent a lot of time together making sure we had the right ones, and that rest made it so I could walk the whole way back to our car, which Mom said was more than a mile.

Of course, when we were out in the Australian bush, we did get to see a huge group of koalas.

All of that walking did tire me out many days, but it was OK to just plop down in the green grass and enjoy the fresh air and animal sounds in the Australian countryside.
