The Entire World

The World was in Sydney Harbour this weekend, you can buy ‘apartments’ aboard the boat for between $750,000 to $3.6 mil. Or $600 per night per person!!! The World in the Harbour Friday lunchtime was spent as Asago, a great little Japanese place around the corner from us,

Taryn and Wade’s Wedding

Amy and I left Sydney on Thursday night for the weekend of Taryn and Wade’s Wedding. It was a stormy day in Sydney and so was good to wake up at Amy’s parents house to find it a nice sunny hot day! Amy and myself stayed over at

Guangdong Jackeroo!

It was a lovely weekend, a bit of low pressure was lingering around but it soon went and we were left with some glorious sunshine. Some news from the home front, Dino has just jetted off to China to teach children / make knock off Prada bags as Gino says. So

Long Reef, Small Shark

Amy went up to Brisbane for her sisters hens night so I was “home alone” for the weekend. Marcus and I went out “surfing” in the morning at Long Reef beach in Sydney’s fabulous winter weather. I put surfing in quotes because mine has not been that great recently

a kaleidoscopic world

So a bit of time has passed since the last entry that is because of the super busy lifestyle that Australia is renowed for. A long while ago now, Amy, Nancy, Simone, Marcus and Stu went out for dinner and then ended up having a few drinks at the Manly

Birthday Weekend

Had an excellent birthday weekend. Amy got me a 30 minute introductory flying lesson at Bankstown airport, it will probably get me hooked, there goes the pension! (only joking parents) we are also going to see Cirque du Soleil in a few times as well! Some bad news to start

Amy Anniversary

Amy and me celebrated our one year anniversary this weekend, having our first “secret” date on Greenwich Park.To make the event special we booked a little beachside cottage on Hyams Beach on the NSW South Coast, which was very nice. First of all however, we had to finish a

Kookaburra Korruption

Saturday morning and I was up with the early birds to go for a surf session with Marcus whilst Amy slept in. We drove all the way up to Palm Beach to find no waves and then waves that were too big to surf (for my injured arm) all the

Weekend as planned!

15 weeks after dislocating my shoulder I stood up on a wave! A personal breakthrough! Amy, Nancy, Marcus and I went down to Long Reef beach on a very flat day. It was high tide and there was only one peek on the entire beach, and it was very very

Coops

Amy got her pictures back (not of Nicole) from the weekend in Brisbane that I mentioned last entry. Here is some pictures of little Cooper! Hurray for Socceroos! And Amy with Coops, Tiny Baby If babies aren’t your thing, I uploaded some photos from the ‘best of the summer’

Gold, Surfing, Weddings and Nicole

Still only half way to saving up to buy a digital camera, so I am relying on others to supply me pictures or take them with my big camera whenever I take it out. So it’s with thanks to Nancy and Marcus that half of these pictures are on

Myall Lakes Trip II

Amy returned safely from her trip around the world to be whisked away on a trip up to Myall Lakes! Simone and Stu came up with us to stay at the Myall Shores resort again (which is brilliant). We stayed in a lodge which had a spa bath right on

Cuddly Bear’s 30th

Mike sent me the pictures from Andrew’s 30th party today, there were all so good that I’ve represented them here as a collage. The Highlights Bhang Lassi were pumping out some tunes to a large audience and Matt Bass was laying down some soothing jazz classics over the

Astrophotography from Myall Lakes

After playing around with all the levels with the other pictures I took at the weekend, I’ve decided to create an entire new section of g2007 as this could turn into a new hobby of mine! I played around with the levels and curves from some Astrophotography guides I

Myall Lakes

After a hard weeks work what better way to celebrate than by taking a trip up to Myall Lakes. Rach and Mike worth both taking their friend from England on her way to New Zealand on a little trip about 3 hours North, a short distance South of Seal Rocks.

Greener Google Surfari

It sounds like Amy is enjoying her trip around the world, especially when its 30 degrees in New York right now and about 10 degrees here in Sydney winter! This weekend I am off to Myall Lakes for some kayaking, biking and possibly some surfing (if not of the water

What’s going down!

The lack of entries, it’s not that we have not been doing things, it is that the little camera which served me so well since it first post in January 2004 stopped working due to a sand blockage in its little servos that make the lens come out. My

Birthday Lawn Bowls

To celebrate Simones birthday we went down to Waringah Lawn Bowls Club for an afternoon of bowls and drinking. It was a beautiful day and after a little of trouble finding the place and some serious taxi delays the bowls was on – Amy about to Bowl We were split into

Yamba Easter Trip II

One year on and I am lucky to find myself here in Australia and able to make the trip to Yamba again for Easter! We left on Friday after work in a Toyota Corolla which we hired from No Birds. We also met Gemma at the ferry and eventually got

Rocks, Rips, Ribs and Rumps

The surf has been up again, this time evening hitting National headlines and halting the Manly Ferry for one evening. 30 missing person rescues and some serious big wave surfing, including local boy, Marcus, aged 26, out there taking control of some 4-6ft sets (10ft on the front). I would

no surf like no surf

It is typically the way that when you can go surfing there’s no waves and when you can’t its Indo quality! To prove this phenomena Amy and I went on a trip to a few of the Northern Beaches with Simone and Stu. The first stop was North

Living the dream

Holidays from work don’t typically last 45 days so it’s probably obvious now that I am no longer on holiday, but I am still in Australia! So here’s how that happened: One day whilst on the beach with Marcus he talked about his agency offering him sponsorship.

Cyclone Wati

Sorry for the lack of updates, have not been anywhere where there’s an internet connection for the computer. But to update you on the surf (that I can’t go out in but wouldn’t anyway) it is BIG. Cyclone Wati has been giving the coast a severe battering

The man from China

Marcus’ birthday was celebrated in true ‘stralian style with a BBQ on Shelly Beach in Manly. It is a beautiful location with a nature reserve and no waves for people with recovering dislocated shoulders to worry about. Unfortunately I left the battery for the camera at home charging, so could
