We love being in nature, walking, and watching wildlife

On our trips, we met unique animals. For example, the cassowary, a flightless bird in Cape Tribulation and white wallabies at Bruny Island. Also, we found a beautiful white swan in our Hanoi bedroom and a huge dragon at Shelly Beach golf course. We were lucky to take great photos of them.
