My Amazing Trip Down Under

   Recently my family did an impressive blitz tour of Australia.  We landed Sunday morning and left the country Thursday morning but in that short amount of time we were able to see Australian cities, rain forests, seas, and country side.  Each day was jam-packed complete with an itinerary only a member of the organized Vaughn clan could pull off. Here's what we accomplished in give or take 100 hours in Australia.  ***hover over pics for captions!!!***
