Hi everyone, my new wife (!) and I just got back from our honeymoon in Australia. We spent 2 weeks in Sydney, Port Douglas (Great Barrier Reef), and Melbourne. We did some casual birding and came out with 85 species. Here are a few posts on my blog about the trip. There will be more to come:

Congratulations on your marriage Patrick. I suspected you could attract more than just hummingbirds - all the best.

Congratulations - what a wonderful honeymoon! I'm envious

Thanks everyone! I highly recommend Australia. The flight could be a lot worse. The planes seem to be uncrowded from LA with an empty seat next to just about everyone.

Congratulations Patrick Much happiness to both of you!!!!
