Early morning walk to Lighthouse at Wollgong Beach  Can you see the Rays of sunlight?
Wollongong became a favorite of Elder Ellison and I.  We were able to go twice and found it very relaxing even in the winter.  We enjoyed taking Tyler, Mindy and family while they were visiting.  This is a picture from an early morning walk the family took.

Tyler, Mindy, Jocelyn, Riley and Coltyn came to visit us 10 days before we are headed home.  It was so wonderful spending time with them.  The days were packed full of activities.  We walked many miles everyday.  The kids and Grandma were real troopers and didn't complain.

One of the Elders flats (apartment)

tempting the birds with their bread supply.

Cockatoo showing off at our hotel balcony





















The hotel in Wollongong had Cockatoos that would fly right up to our window or balcony and basically perform for food.  This one is showing of his head dress.

From Cockatoo's to Kangaroos the kids loved all
 the different animals they got to see and feed.
