Total Botanical Garden, Sydney
You get everything in this park – amazing plants, screeching cockatoos, a kookaburra…
Thank you so much Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.
One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email

I think on the road may be the only sane thread on this blog any more.
