A few months ago, Sara and I were looking on the internet to book some flights to Boston. We saw an ad for cheap flights to Australia, clicked on it, and before we knew it – had decided to head to the Land Down Under for a couple of weeks of vacation!
It turned out to be great timing – we got engaged a few weeks before the trip, and so it ended up being a great break for us to enjoy things. We traveled all over for two weeks, hitting up some great spots like Byron Bay, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Fraser Island, and the Whitsunday’s. I even booked a a wedding while I was down there, so I’ll be heading back in December!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip. Unfortunately I don’t have any of the people pictures – those are all on Sara’s camera 🙂 But the landscape photography should do for now!
The lighthouse at Byron Bay
Carmen and Matty – our fabulous friends, hosts, and recently engaged as well!
The four of us
We spent 3 days and 2 nights sailing on a racing boat through the gorgeous Whitsunday Islands. On an ex-racing boat, it was certainly a good sail 🙂 Towards the end of the trip, we each got a chance to steer ourselves. Here is one of the other travelers we sailed with.

The best part about this image – check out the baby kangaroo’s (a “joey”) little feet hanging out from mom’s pouch!
