When we went to do the ghost tour at Port Arthur, one of the places we stopped to listen to stories at was the old convict church. I thought it was a really beautiful building - even though it was just a ruin. The church burned down in a huge fire about 100 years ago, so all that's left are the stone walls and the bell tower - no roof, no flooring, nothing. We stood inside the church on a nice lawn of grass. The sun was long gone and the sky had turned that eerie deep blue which happens just before true darkness. I snapped this photo not really expecting anything good, but WOW am I happy with it! It'll be getting printed off for sure once I'm home.

When we returned to the campground where we stayed that night, we found the place literally hopping with these little guys - pademelons! We originally thought they were wallabies, but they're a smaller relative of 'em. They were really tame and pretty stupid - this dude hopped into the road right in front of our car and then stopped moving. He wasn't frozen in the headlights at the time - he casually bent down and was nibbling at something on the ground, blissfully unconcerned about the car not three feet away from him. I eventually got out of the car with my camera and went to take his picture, at which point he hopped off the roadway and onto the grass, where he then graciously posed for me.
