Remnants from the Sunshine Coast

To tide you over as I reenergize for more major updates, here are a couple final pictures from our time in Caloundra.

Here's the beachside resort we stayed at while in Caloundra.  The windows and balconies of our suites were on the left side of the building, looking out to the ocean about 70 metres away.

Here's the aboriginal guy playing a cool instrument.  For perhaps obvious reasons, this is known as a 'male' instrument.  There are both male and female instruments and tools, classified primarily by shape.

Here's our other Aboriginal guide, who was both very quiet and an excellent dancer.  I like the juxtaposition of Aboriginal tools, instruments, and artwork with modern building, clothes, and coke bottle.


Our fearless leaders, Lyndon and Cam, worked pretty hard at the Australia Zoo.  As six of us wandered, we chanced upon Cam (left, brown shirt) and Lyndon (right, blue shirt) taking a nap in the grass.  The only other time we saw them, they were riding around on the little tram that goes through the park, heading to an area we had just finished which was only a short walk from the rest of the park.  To their credit, they had most likely been up early surfing before the day's program began.
