Our Family and Travels
South Pacific
We had the privilege of visiting Australia and New Zealand. This was a guided tour in the fall of 2017, which was spring down there. The people of both countries were approachable and friendly. They also have features that are not seen anywhere else in the world.
Though we did not see much of the country and continent of Australia, we had a glimpse of the diversity of that land. There was quite a temperature difference from the north, tropical, part of Australia versus the southern part of the country. We began in Cairns, pronounced "cans," which is near the Great Barrier Reef and then went to Sydney.
From Sydney, we flew to Christchurch, New Zealand. We had to prove we were going to leave New Zealand before we could enter New Zealand. After visiting Christchurch, we went by land to Queenstown. New Zealand is quite possibly the most scenic place in the world.
