January 26 is Australia Day, but my friends in Australia are already celebrating as they are almost a day ahead of us here in America.

It does not take Australia Day to get me Thinking of Australia though as there are several other reasons.

First, I have a good friend from Canada who is there with his son. My friend John is visiting churches north or Brisbane and will be there for a couple of months.

They have been posting pictures of kangaroos and lizards. John’s son Jack has several lizards at home so he is enjoying chasing them.

This lizard is not from Australia, but it was the first lizard picture I found in my posts. This one is from my post Hazor Lizard.

The second reason that I am thinking about Australia is that I will be flying there at the end of next week to do some training.

However, I will not be too close to where my friends are. Australia is a large country and they are a 15 hour drive or a 3 hour flight away from Sydney.

But, I have some wonderful friends who live close to the office where I will be working. I am really looking forward to seeing them soon.

I am definitely looking forward to some warmer weather. I really need some sun, which I should get in abundance.
