Join me in welcoming back my dad, Ian Smissen, to the podcast! Dad and Mum recently travelled up to Queensland and guess what? They went on this epic road trip! He shares that he was going to attend a bird photography conference up in Gold Coast, and so off they went places for about three weeks. It was also my mum’s birthday and so Dad told us about the O’Reilly Rainforest Retreat, a family friend’s property. We also talk about how kids seem to know how to get your attention, using annoying, rising inflections when calling for you - do kids in your country do the same? Let me know what you think about this episode! Drop me a line at [email protected] ** Want to wear the kookaburra shirt? ** Get yours here at https://aussieenglish.com.au/shirt
