Update: January 1, 2013. Happy New Year! To all of our friends, old and new, may this be your best year yet. A big shout out to our new friends from Australia - Mike & Sandy from Adelaide, and Mary from Perth.
This gallery is making progress, but still under construction.
Once completed, this gallery will contain our cruise photos from Australia and New Zealand, including shore excursions to Hobart (Tasmania AU), Port Arthur (NZ), Dunedin (NZ), Wellington (NZ), Tauranga (NZ), and Auckland (NZ). For now, this gallery is not copy protected, so that our friends may download and print any of these photos. We hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we did capturing and posting them.

![[Image 5542] [Hi-Res Nikon D4] Tasmanian Devil, photographed at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. It is difficult to get an idea of the size of this fellow from the photo. My guess is that he is just about 18 inches long and would weigh about 8-10 pounds. These critters are quite busy, and this one in particular needs to attend an 'anger management' course.](http://apogeeaimhigher.smugmug.com/Places/South-Pacific/i-2kSTxCw/0/Ti/LR4_5542-Ti.jpg "[Image 5542] [Hi-Res Nikon D4] Tasmanian Devil, photographed at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.

Here, we see 'Burt', a four-year-old Koala who was born in the sanctuary and will remain there for life, since he has had no exposure to life in the wild. We were told Koalas spend only an hour or two a day awake, and the rest of the time sleeping.](http://apogeeaimhigher.smugmug.com/Places/South-Pacific/i-dD6JL2g/0/Ti/LR4_5555-v2-Ti.jpg "[Image 5555] [Hi-Res Nikon D4] Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, located outside historic Hobart.
