Ready set Moomba

The kids and I had a great time at the Moomba parade. I can't believe that after 15 years in Melbourne this is the first time I have been to the parade. The parade was good and lots of fun, thought it could have done with some viagra as it was all over so quickly.

The commonwealth games have just finished. Australia showed everyone just how good you can be if you spend 30% of Sierra Leone's GDP on sport each year. No doubt the other commonwealth countries made generous donations to the republican fund, just so they can get a fairer split of the medals.

Bye Woody, we loved you.

 

We love you Woody

I hoped this wasn't a farwell photo for Woody and us, but I felt it might be. We all miss you Woody, you were a fantastic friend.

Fly Wire Walk Otway Ranges Victoria

Great if you are old or with young or just need an easy walk . It is great walking in the bush, but I would head ot Erskine Falls first and walk down to Lorne.

 

Fruit bat swoops low

A fruit bat swoops in low over my back garden. No doubt lamenting the demise of the gum tree from my neighbour's garden as a once bountiful resting place. The tall cacti and shrubs are dismissed in favour of our ecoply parapet wall as a resting place.
