chicadecasa: Complimentary wine and a little tote with an eye mask and socks! (Plus, comfortable seats!) I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a 10+ hour flight before... #qantas
chicadecasa: Landed in Sydney, and waiting for our last flight. We have a few hours to kill, so we found a cafe/book shop to indulge in some treats! Ben got coffee and I am continuing our tradition of getting a Harry Potter book in each country we visit #priorities

chicadecasa: I’ve always been a fan of cool looking bridges, as well as tunnels. Not sure what this is, but it kind of resembles a cross between the two...

chicadecasa: We have been planning to take a quokka selfie, but I never imagined we’d be able to take one with a kangaroo!
chicadecasa: I’m a fan of unique-to-specific-place crossing signs, so Ben obliged and pulled over so I could get a picture of this one — Anglesea
chicadecasa: Court, troop, or mob?
chicadecasa: Anglesea lookout along the Great Ocean Road
chicadecasa: Split Point Lighthouse
chicadecasa: Eagle Rock - Great Ocean Road. This was my favorite location along the road! This area, created by a volcanic eruption, is a refuge for many marine species.
chicadecasa: Teddy’s Lookout, Lorne - Great Ocean Road
chicadecasa: Memorial Arch - Moggs Creek
chicadecasa: Goodness knows we have plenty of these in Okinawa, but I never tire of them. And there’s nowhere quite like the Pacific Ocean at sunset, regardless of what country you’re in.
chicadecasa: The beach at sunset, looking toward the lighthouse (which you can kind of see if you zoom in a bit)
