This lengthy and unique journey by with a small ship that began in Bali, Indonesia ….revealed an impressive, outstanding wild-life both above and below the ocean, as well as  diverse cultures and richly costumed population of the many islands in the Pacific Ocean. Our small ship finally docked in Hobart and we then enjoyed hiking in the magnificent Tasmanian National Parks….Lastly, we arrived at the iconic Opera House in the handsome city of Sidney, Australia….so many images and memories linger on….
