Evidence

Surfing lesson south of Ballina, in Australia. Really tiny waves, but that makes it easy for us rookies to stand up.

Flying foxes near Port Macquarie. Don't let the name fool ya, they are bats, with three foot wingspans and hanging, squawking, and swooping by the thousands in a nosiy din. But don't worry, they eat fruit. Most of the time...

And the requisite glory shot, me and the Sydney opera house and harbour bridge.
