The scenery was unique and varied and the animals unbelievable - Wombats, wallabies, kangaroos, and dingoes in Australia and sheep were everywhere in New Zealand (including on our plates). Then there were glowworms in caves and of course the kiwi found only in New Zealand.
It was truly an awesome trip!
