Camping...Aussie Style! This post has a ton of pics and videos! :)

We just got back from a long weekend of camping with our Aussie friends. We had so much fun too! There were six of us - actually there were only three Aussie's, one South African and two Americans (pics below). LOL.

We went to a beach campground called Cape Hillsborough. It was Australia's Labor Day weekend so the place was 100% full. I tell you, these Aussie's really know how to camp! The camp "resort" had a kitchen facility, pool, nice toilets and showers, not to mention electrical and water hookups at every site. And, yes, that is furniture that you see in the picture -hey, it was the Aussie's idea! Our Aussie friends had all the "hook-ups" in camping gear. We even had a large canopy for lounging (in our very comfortable loungers)...we played lots of games, listened to good tunes and had lots of laughs under this canopy. Plus we were right at the beach!

KANGAROOS and GREAT BEACHES!!! In the area of Australia where we live, they have the farthest water distance of high tide and low tide anywhere on earth...which means at low tide, there are long stretches of beach area. The video with the kangaroos is at 6:15 am and you'll see it's just after high tide. Also, this area has kangaroos that are fed each morning by the camp resort - the first one is a kangaroo and the second one is a wallaby (the smaller version of a kangaroo) - oh, did you notice the baby in the pouch also eating just like it's mom? :)

In these pictures, it is low tide so there's large stretches of beach - Big B played baseball with the "grown ups" and built sandcastles with the kids...and what did I do? Lounge on the beach, of course!

When the tide is low, there was a spot to hike across to another island. The first video below is on the island...at high tide the place where Big B is standing would be about 3 feet under water. The second video is at the top of the mountain/island looking over to the other side. It's awesome!
