Twilight Sydney bridge climb
Diving in the Great Barrier Reef - seeing a 'real' turtle!
Bungy jumping in Cairns - scary!!!
Skinning dipping at Cape Tribulation in the moonlight- very liberating!!!

Cuddling my first Koala - Aww!!!
Feeding the 'roos
Catching my first fish off Bramston Beach in the dark with a crappy girly rod and the fish was a whopper (honest!)

Ohhh i cant wait to get to australia now, i was feeling a bit melancholy last few weeks but im all excited again. My mum is paying for me and the hubby to do the harbour bridge climb when we get there for a christmas present, im really looking forward to it, is it worth paying the extra to do it at sunset?

We did the twilight bridge climb - it's getting dusky as you climb but still light enough to see everything really well, then the sun sets as you reach the top and it's dark as you climb back down - Sydney skyline all lit up. Well worth the few extra $$$.
