This Royal-Spoonbill bird was in the water south of Tweed Heads.
These Straw-Necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis) birds were seen in several part of the Australia coast.
This sign was found near the lighthouse in Byron Bay. It looked like the actual most easterly point was at the end of a trail at the bottom of the hill.
I think this is a Cabbage Tree. I saw it near a surfers beach South of Byron Bay.
I saw several of these Australian Pelican (Pelicanus conspicillatus) during my ride.
This was the only large snake I saw in Australia. It’s dead and it might be a Python
I had a Crocodile pie at this fast food take out restaurant, Fredo Pies in Frederickson, New South Wales

This sign was across the street from the welcome to Victoria sign, so Ted had Terry take this photo of him with his bike.
I meet and bike with a man named Terry that was from Edmund, Alberta, Canada. This photo is of Ted and Terry at their Campsite in Genoa.
This was an old Store at Cabbage Tree Creek. I don’t think it was still used as a store.
Ted’s bike on the East Gippsland Rails to Trails bike trail. The trail was not paved, but was very easy to ride and beat cycling the traffic filed Pacific Highway.
Ted at the bottom of Stony Creek Trestle Bridge. This bridge is part of the East Gippsland rail to trail. The bridge is closed and you can only view the bridge from the bottom or behind a fence at the top on the west end. The east end of the bridge is missing.
This bird looks like a mix between an Australian Black Swan and a white Swan. The bird was seen from Nicholson Rail Trail Bridge on the East Gippsland Rail Trail.
