Summary of Australia Trip

Because the journal ended up being so long, here is a list of what we did. If you’re interested in reading more or looking at the pictures for a certain activity, the date(s) I wrote about it are in parentheses to the side. I often wrote more than once each day, so the time of the appropriate entry is also listed, if needed.
However, I would recommend just scanning the pictures I posted (the captions are bolded) if you just want a brief overview of what we did.
