    Hulk's Latest Adventure Down Under

    I know several Museum members call Australia home, but it was quite the trip for us- almost a full 24 hours travel time from NYC to Sidney. But, of course, Hulk made the trip, too.
    First stop, Sydney. Still working on the dealing with focal lentghs, but here he is in front of the Harbour Bridge-


    Again, the camera focused on the wrong part. And no, that is not Oprah in from of the Opera House


    Off to visit Aboriginal lands in Australia's Red Center. The out-of-focus rock formation in the background is Uluru.


    Hiking across the red sands of Ayers Rock-


    And hiking up the other big rock formation in the dessert, Kata Tjuta-


    And, of course, swiming along the Great Barrier Reef-


    OK, OK, that's outside the Aquarium in Sydney. I couldn't really take the Hulk to Reef.

    Excellent! I'd listen to traveling Hulk's recommendations any day over that goofy gnome.

        Honestly, nothing but smiles. I felt a bit strange the first time I did this (Thailand), but the least of reactions has been smiles. Several other times, people ask about him and I get to meet some locals. In Barcelona, some German tourists asked to have their picture taken with him and bought me a few beers as a thanks!

                    Very cool of you and Hulk to share all of your travel with everyone!!!! Just curious, is it the same Hulk that you take with you every time? If so then he's quite the good luck charm!

                              The only disappointing part of the trip. Hope all is well with yours. Maybe one day in West Virginia

                              This is actually the second Hulk. The first one's rubber band snapped outside Barcelona in '05. This guy was actually sent to me by a gracious Museum member as a replacement and he's made it to 9 countries on 6 separate continents!
