My list of firsts (Part 2)

My list of firsts continues. Some of these are experiences only possible in Australia. Others are activities I've not done back home, even though those activities are there also. Here is part 2: 

-first time holding a baby crocodile 

-first time eating crocodile ("croc bites," like chicken nuggets but made from crocodile)

-first time swinging a golf club (well, at least in the last 25 years)

-first time meeting a person of aboriginal descent

-first time learning about aboriginal culture and history in Australia

-first time touring an Australian Rules Football stadium

-first time on a catamaran

-first time seeing the sun set over Australia

-first time visiting a national park of another country

-first time I've pushed myself physically this year 

-first time attending country music event (singer Kim Koole) in another country

-first time visiting a parliament - and I meet the Madame Speaker of Parliament 

-first time participating in ANZAC day, a service similar to the U.S.'a Memorial Day

-first time wearing virtual reality goggles

-first time seeing the International Space Station fly across the sky

Our trip is a bit shy of the halfway point. Expect two or three more lists of firsts.
