 AYERS ROCK, CENTRAL AUSTRALIA  THE 12 APOSTLES, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA * * * * * I have travelled to many places From Switzerland to Rome But this wide brown land, Australia Is the place that I call home I've seen the Eiffel Tower And walked the streets of Montmartre But with the kangaroos and koalas Is where I keep my heart I've even been to London And seen the palace of the Queen My passport stamps are many Reminders of places I have been Each country is rich in history And every journey so much fun But I long to return to my homeland This beautiful island in the sun A jewel in the crown A wondrous paradise The scenery is simply stunning And the people are friendly and nice We are so proud of our nation A young country compared to some And of the many thousands of visitors So many hearts has this place won I'll pursue my love of travel And marvel at the things I see But I'll always return to Australia The place I most want to be  KANGAROO & JOEY AT SUNSET Suetang |

  (smiles) WOW!!! Oh my gosh, I want to see Australia so so much, those koalas and wallabees and Joeys are so so cute and I dream of visiting the coral reefs and Ayers Rock! (kiss on cheek) This sounds like such a majestic place, sweet friend, I love my Colorado but am always happy in visiting new places! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is breathtaking! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Did anyone ever tell you that you make one heck of a travel agent? This was beautiful and with pictures and promotion like that who wouldn't want to vist there and be proud to call it home. Well done Sue. Imagination is more important that knowledge |

Sue, the pictures and poem brought tears and smiles. I shared this with my son, the one who spent 6 months traveling through your beautiful homeland and he too got all choked up. You are so multi-talented from gardening to writing to photography. Bless you. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Bravo, it's wonderful to see such pride! I've never been to Austrailia, although I hope to visit someday. A friend of mine travelled there a year ago and she loved it! In fact, she wants to move there You should submit this poem to a local newspaper or to a national Austrailian magazine! Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

Sue: I loved your poem and the pictures. I have always wanted to visit your country. My son has spent many months there at different times and on his last trip my daughter-in-law went also. They loved it and brought back some beautiful things. It's a fascinating country! Thanks for sharing some of it with us. My computer has been down for a week, so I'm now playing "catch-up".
