Australia & New Zealand Favorite Memories & Highlights

Over the past six months, Alex and I have been able to see, explore, taste and experience so many beautiful and amazing things while traveling around Australia and New Zealand.  During the last few weeks of our trip, we started reminiscing and looking through pictures which led to a discussion of our favorite memories and highlights.  Below is a compilation of our favorite memories and experiences we shared during this time.
