The Largest Melbourne Muckmeet in the Southern Hemisphere (Ariel, Duck, Fflewddur in front, QHearts, Fleebo, and Dinah in the back, and Ariel's fish further back).

Duck meets wallaby at Healesville Sanctuary, near Melbourne.

Preparing the Halloween Cookies of DOOM! If you have a good eye, you'll notice some disturbed cookies, including a green Mickey head cookie and a pumpkin one that says, "Pie Me." We had a little too much fun, you see. :)

The Halloween Party--UNMASKED! (From left to right: Tweedledum, Shock, Fleebo, Maurice, Pocahontas, Frank--who is mostly hidden by QHearts, QHearts, Kristi--who is QHearts's flatmate, and Aaron). Aaron and Kristi aren't FDCMuckers, but they're characters in themselves. :)

Sydney's gorgeous Botanical Gardens, one of my favorite places, in the middle of the city.

A great shot of Sydney's skyline with the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

For more great photos of the 1997 Australian Expedition, go to Fleebo's picture page.

Here's a favorite photo from the first Australian Expedition, in 1995. It was taken by Ariel's camera just outside the Sydney Opera House immediately after Australia's first water war.
