Day 45, Saturday, February 25, 2006 Many years ago, Uncle Rob worked at the Currumbin Wildlife Park during his visit to Australia. Just as it was then, dozens of lorikeets flock to the visitors who feed them with a mix of sugar and water. The birds find it particularly convenient to land on your head before hopping down to the plate. The Park has numerous other exhibits, including fresh water and salt water crocodiles. This afternoon, Terry drove us up to Broadbeach, where we met Rob and Mellie. Rob and I had completed a transaction on e-bay a few months ago and we arranged to get together while we were in Australia. We had a wonderful visit at their home and went for a stroll along Burleigh Beach with the skyscrapers of Surfers Paradise providing a captivating background on Australia's beautiful Gold Coast. The last two days have been special. We have some wonderful new friends who have provided us with unforgettable memories of themselves and of Australia.
