The Adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Spoon in the Magical Land of Oz: the Conclusion

Home again, home again, jiggity jig.

I just received this clever map in the mail.

It is well-circled and annotated.

Dear [Tasterspoon], Here's a brief look at our trip!  Love, Mom

Darwin: The crocs did not disappoint...both fresh and salt water. 

Kakadu National Park: Aboriginal paintings on the rocks at Kakadu Nat'l Park...climbed out on a cliff to watch an amazing sunset (one of many)!  The lookout was called Nawurlandja.

Katherine: Aboriginal children gave me some flowers at Mass on Mother's Day in Katherine.  The priest said a special blessing.

Kununurra: Saw emus

Kimberly: "Small" plane ride over the Kimberly Range.

Halls Creek (circled)

Fitzroy Crossing (circled)

Broome: fun town

Port Hedland: Iron Ore Loading Longest train in the world...30 min.

Exmouth: (circled whale shark) Stopped at Exmouth - site of NASA tracking station - first heard Neil Armstrong's words from the moon.  Dad snorkeled with whale sharks.  Saw a blue whale from the boat.

Ningaloo: (circled dolphin) Dolphins came into the beach to feed at 7 a.m.  Theyve been doing this for 50 years.

Coral Bay (circled)

Carnarvon (circled)

Monkey Mia (circled)

Fremantle: Back to Freemantle - site of 1987's win by Dennis Connor.  Very developed, very busy!

Perth: Site of Memorial Day Celebration in Perth's Botanical Gardens.  Talked to Consul General and thanked everyone for their recognition of all who are serving NOW!

Saved a box for Dad - he's declined comment - sending you photos instead!

Rather.  His summary was thus:

Safely back. Great trip. Ol' Mom and Dad at Pinnacles Natl Park. Thousands of pics of crocodiles.
