I am now offically certified! I finished my course today and it was great! Just before we started the first dive we saw whales. We explored around (but not inside) a awesome reck and interesting reef. It was really really cold even with the semi dry suit I was very cold by the end of the second div…

It's wine tour time. Take a wine tour of Barossa valley.A few stops on the way. World's largest rocking horse. Ya, for real. abit odd but at least a chance to stretch my legs for a bit. The wineries we visited: Vinecrest, the most well known was Wolfblass, and two others whose name escape me right …

Unfortunately I was working most of the time just outside of Adelaide and didn't get a chance to get out much.  Luckily on Thursday night 2 of my coworkers took us out to the city and we had a chance to walk around a little bit and get a few pictures. The Northern Lights festival w…

Nothing special in Adelaide, except museum and nightlife, cities are not the major attraction of Australia ! The Marsupiaux have withstood the extinction of dinosaurs are mainly present in Australia for over 150 Millions of years during the Cretaceous separation of large sheets techtoniques "…

Still haven't even started packing yet, which is pretty poor for me! I'm usully chuking things in my suitcase up to 2 months before I leave...Thank god I'm my own travel agent, otherwise I probably would'nt have even picked up my tickets yet. But I booked it all myself, so that was the easy pa…

I remember now, we pushed past Coober Pedy and stayed at a 'camp site' just outside a town called Port Augustus, because we wanted time in Adelaide, I remember now. Port Augustus was a bit of a hole as I remember. We did arrive at night, but the whole camping space just smelt like dead fish and sea…

Well up bright and early. Actually it was so early it was still dark. We checked out of the hotel, the same chauffeur that picked us up from the airport was there to take us back to the airport in the limo.  A little over 4 hours on the plane and we were back in Adelaide.  Sorry the trip …

I deliberately booked a later flight home. I hate getting an international flight at 6am. We fly out of Auckland at 1pm and then have some waiting time in Melbourne. Again, longer now than originally booked! We arrive back in Adelaide at 8pm.  Unfortunately that now means I miss out on going…

As far as major cities go, Adelaide doesn't have the hustle and bustle of others we've been to in Oz. The tempo seems very relaxed and the fact they've left parkland surrounding the centre is cool. We just spent the day walking from one end of the thing to the other in the sunshine, very pleas…

Tonya, (Ada-potada) had a birthday on Aug 13th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes and I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a photo…

It's hard to articulate everything that I'm feeling right now. I've been thrust out into the world as a solo traveler, despite the careful planning of my month-long trip to explore Austria and surrounds. My travel partner's circumstances have changed, and there's no problem with that, it just puts …

I stopped at more gorgeous beaches today!  :)  There is defintiely a theme here.  I LOVED my stop in Robe....I did this awesome little walk out to Long Beach & then I strolled up & down the beach for a long time.  It was SO gorgeous & the water felt great!  …

Walking home from school. Dodgy footpath. Old man in need of rescue.

My last trip to Aus&Nz. April 2007....and next October I'll be there again...wow!!!!

The next day we had decided we were going to go to some wineries. As Merv doesn’t drink wine he w as going to do all the driving and let me do all the wine tasting. Well, I wasn’t going to say no to that, was I? I picked three wineries that I wanted to see, and a gourmet food shop. I also want…
