G'day folks this morning we got up early to attempt to pack our bags for the first time in over 2 weeks, it did not go well. Even though we both have sent a box of stuff home we still struggled to fit it all in our bags, especially LJ who got all flustered and had to go have a cuppa of tea to calm down. Poppy helped me roll all my clothes up whi...

Sorry that this is one month late, but I had to compete with Marsha for the computer between baseball games and solitaire. In reality,I myself have been very busy but enough about me and us and on to the show. We had a great trip and hope to give you a snapshot of everything that we saw and did. We hiked around a ton as it was much cheaper that ...

March 13, 2009 We left Launceston on time at 10:00 am after saying our goodbyes to John and Christine. The flight was short and uneventful and after unloading in Melbourne we startedthe next part of our Aussie adventure. In Melbourne we were picked up by Janine from Calypso campervans at 11:45 and about 1:00 we reached their business where we pi...

Merry Christmas from not so sunny Australia! It's mostly been a bit cold and wet and we're thinking that climate change might have been magically reversed. It's a fact that Australian beaches are just as miserable as a British beaches when it's cold and raining. A quick update from the last few months: - On a single day in Margaret River we met ...

Well I bet you didn't think I would be here so soon! Well I changed my flights and decided not to tell ya! Haha! I flew into Melbourne yesterday.......... lovely cold Melbourne. Aye, it feels a bit like an English Autumn. I guess if the sun was out it would feel a bit different. Eastside Oz is not having so much sun at the moment. Considering it...

So today, there's another long lie but at least today we have a plan. After breakfast, we pack a lunch and wander off down to the National Gallery of Victoria. Its about a 45 minute walk to get there so when we do its already time for lunch. Its warm and clearish today but still a little smokey. We stop for lunch at Federation Square and everywh...

Melbourne provides even more family and friends to catch up with. I land to meet my brother Mike and his wife Mala, who are putting me up for the next week or so. The next day I meet for a beer with Pete Gordon on Chapel Street and we reminisce about fun times in Wellington long lost to us both. A little shopping in the area yields an awesome ju...

There was bad news upon awakening this morning: Katie was as sick as a dog.

I won't go into specifics, but we think she had food poisoning, which is never much fun, spending precious little time away from the bathroom.

It was really weird to get food poisoning from such a lovely restaurant, but it must have been the trout that Ka...

Flowers, Mezze plate at Lanes Edge and red lunar eclipse Last week end was amazing! Sunny and warm. We are late mid august and it is almost spring here. After working hard the whole week, Ryan and I got monday off and were ready to enjoy fully our day. We got up and went to the gym in the apartment building for a good start. After a shower and a...

Melbourne is such a lovely city but was very cold and seemed to rain a lot.... felt like I was back in the UK!! I thought Australia was supposed to be permanently hot!! I landed in Melbourne on Thursday morning and stayed in a hostel right in the city centre which was cool. I was sharing a room with a girl from Japan, 2 girls from Korea and a gi...
