On the island...

Just back from 5 days on Moreton Island, off the coast of Brisbane. What a spectacular place. Definitely in the Top 5 locations we've ever been too. We were lucky enough to be guided all over the island by our Aussie 'family' who made it a truly wonderful experience. Thanks, Walt & Stella! Here's a few quick shots. More to follow, hopefully with some notes about the place.

Great Ocean Road

Hi. Currently in Melbourne. It's beautiful city but surprisingly chilly! Spent yesterday travelling the Great Ocean Road - very aptly named. We were blessed with beautiful (albeit windy and chilly) weather and had time for some walks in the rain forest in Otway Reserve and lunch in Apollo Bay. Here's a few shots.

Day one, in Sydney, trying to recover from the 2 day trip from Spain. Had a nice walk around downtown to the opera house. Strange we get to see the opera house again the day the architect who designed it, Jorn Utson, passed away aged 90. Utson ws forced to resign from the project 7 years before it was completed due to budget issues and he never returned to Australia to see finished building.

Hi All. Well, we're a week into our world tour of Australia and are currently enjoying some sunshine on Phillip Island, about 2 hours south of Melbourne. Here's a few shots from the trip so far. Cheers. Phill
