Tyroga – A Human Equivalent

We had a great night Saturday night, even though we were a little sad we were one down in our party with Kathryn being ill and having to bail out. David, Sue and I met with Sandy and Rob at Pellegrini’s (66 Bourke Street, Melbourne) for an awesome dinner. From the outside the place looks [...]

What a mad and very long day our first day was. Friday June 4th was almost 48 hours long for us as our flight from Australia to California, USA took us across the international date line. To avoid the dreaded jet lag we stayed awake all of Thursday night, the hope we’d simply sleep on [...]

Last Saturday the awesome foursome (as Kathryn has come to call us) went on a little photo shooting trip. David, Kathryn, Sue and I went to Serendip Sanctuary at Lara in Victoria. Sue had bought her camera just the week before, a Sony Alpha A350 with dual lens kit. We try and get out every [...]

It has been so long since I’ve put anything of substance on this site, but then I’ve had very little time to do so. What with work being so hectic for the last month or so, then organising our leave and trying to find someone to take care of the pets while we were away [...]

It’s that time of year, the Silly Season, when families pack their cars to the hilt, throw the kids in the back and head off on long journeys that seem to take for ever and usually end up more tiring than relaxing by the time you return. For this year it is no different for [...]

Huge week this week, well a big couple of days (Thursday and Friday) the rest of the week was “neh” (hmmm not sure how to write that word and make it read right). This will be a kinda long entry… bear with me, there’s some good and to many surprising stuff, further on. But you [...]

Last night we went out to celebrate Chris’ birthday… he was having drinks at The Builders Arms Hotel (211 Gertrude St, Fitzroy). Met a few of his friends and two in particular were a hoot. Michelle and Suzie are a couple of girls who know how to have a great time. And I truly hope [...]

I’ve decided to create my very own Flickr group for the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, couldn’t find one similar so there I went creating one. If any avid photographers out there have some pics of this spectacular stretch of road, join Flickr and start posting. Our recent trip there didn’t yeild any good shots of [...]

I love a trip to a zoo, any zoo. I love animals and appreciate what they go through in the wild at the hands of we humans and our constant encroachment upon their lands and harvesting of them for food. While Zoological parks in the past have been places for humans to oggle animals, locked [...]

Yesterday we were going to head off to Soveriegn Hill, but at $33/adult we kind of thought it was a bit expensive just to pan for some dodgy gold. Instead we head in the complete opposite direction and went to Sorrento & Portsea… tip to travellers, Sorrento is a cool place to visit, but instead [...]
