Autumn in Australia is a very colourful and beautiful time of year as these pics clearly show !!!



Including this pic from June 2001 showing Frank's car covered in leaves......still an excellent pic !!!



The Land Down Under can take many roads.....Like this one from the Outback......

Imagine having Cockatoos in your own front yard...Frank doesn't have to as this is where this pic is from !




But then this little thing can pick any road he wants!!!







These pics show us the Crimson Rosella on the left....a bird native only to Australia like our friend above......on the right.......how's this for a curious guest to show up for lunch one day unnanounced.....lol




......And speaking of an unnanounced guest.....a little opossum that wandered into Frank's driveway one evening...





Pink faced corellas in a pic taken by Frank on his recent holiday to South Australia in February of 2001.








An endangered species native to Austrailia...the King Parrot......
in a pic taken by Frank in his garden (amazing the animals he finds in his yard!!!!!....lol)..in June 2001.....the bigger pic is nice!!!






Another item unique to Australia is known as a ROADTRAIN....best described as huge vehicles which transport supplies to the hardest to reach areas of the island continent....



You'd never see any of these rigs on USA roads....they couldn't handle them !!! The larger pics are kept at their original parameters to give you an idea of the size of these vehicles !!!







    The real beauty of Australia is clearly in the land itself !!! From Ayers Rock which is on the right....








To these pics showing us the unbelievable magnitude of Australia's mountains...










Below and above the water...






And all places in between !!!

The most awesome scenery of the land is clearly toward the ocean !!!!
