I shared a bunch of posts from our Australia trip last year about the big parts of our trip–where we stayed in the city and Cronulla, visiting Taronga Zoo and Wattamolla Beach–but whenever I tell people about our trip, there’s always one everyday moment that comes to mind. (And yes, I do still talk my parents’ and sister’s ears off about Sydney. Just priming them to move there with me someday :P)
