Another roadside attraction.......

This makes me sad, poor tree. But alas I am a hypocrite since I paid 5 bucks to drive through it. How is this tree healthy with a giant hole chainsawed through it?

And across the road...

Emus!
I was reading the brochure for the tree and thought it said "Come see our Emus(rhymes with male body part)" , and I was like "Ben what is an Emus?" Duh.

Paul and Babe. These guys were huge. Notice the little girl on his shoe. When we got there he was having a conversation with her. It was cute. Sophie was super shy and made us promise that we wouldn't make her talk to him. Imagine having that guys job...shouting hi to all the tourists and talking to little kids all day.

This picture pretty much sums up the nastiness of this bathroom.
Getting sick of our vacation photos yet?

what? 5 bucks? well, now you can say you've driven through a tree... :)
i'm glad you pointed out how huge these sculptures were, i didn't see the girl on the shoe and so didn't have a comparison.
still enjoying your pictures!
