Well, the first few days of my trip have passed. Most of it so far has been visiting with the in-laws, but I've managed to sneak outside for some photos. These are from a town called Saratoga, off the Brisbane Water. It is an hour and half north of Sydney, just off the coast.
These are pretty much just the RAW converted to jpeg, I do not have decent editing abilities on my laptop.

This pelican was rather shy. He was gradually floating towards me for about 10 minutes, and the moment I made more than two steps in his direction, he flew off.

The Water edge at sunrise.
3.
Another sunrise with some of the anchored boats.
4.
Sunset on the second night. This was taken off the back porch of the house we stayed in.

In America, people wake to soft bird chirps, maybe a a rooster. In Australia, you wake up to the kookaburras. To me, they sound like loud monkey laughs. It is quite a jolt in the morning when they start up.
