Travel broadens one's horizons, and this summer The Duck let his his freak flag fly on the beaches of Australia, taking The Land Down Under by storm in his own epic style.
He visited the Sydney Opera House, scuba dived, dove into pristine waters via a zipline and carved a rhinoceros out of sand. He entered wizarding worlds and took ebullient selfies with locals.
He even got a picture with Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin, the family of the late Steve Irwin, continuing his mission of protecting wildlife and their habitat.

Whether he's pretending to swallow a referee's head, filming an ESPN commercial, dancing with Pat McAfee or hanging out in a lawn chair with cardboard cutout of Justin Bieber, The Duck is always down for a good time or the important mission of spreading good will and global awareness of the Oregon brand.
Hopefully the hijinks didn't get in the way of his training. In just 17 days, he has to be ready to reel off 500 or more pushups a game. Dante Moore and the Duck offense are looking for a higher gear this season.
No word whether The Duck found a good spot for a slug and vegemite sandwich. He might need the protein boost.
