For our last full day in Melbourne, it was actually fairly uneventful.  We began with breakfast across the road, where I ordered what looked like a small meal (omelette with cheese, mushroom and spinach), but turned out enormous – they must have used about 10 eggs in the thing!  It was...

We had a late start today. It wasn’t Emma’s fault, and I maintain it wasn’t my fault either – I blame the Esplanade Hotel from the night before. We spent the evening (and part of the early morning) enjoying The Espy in St Kilda – four live acts on a Tuesday night isn’t too bad –...

Another busy day today! After a lovely dinner last night (we used WhereIs to search for nearby restaurants and chose one based on its name), we were ready to go. Yesterday we managed to tackle two locations, which took all day, so we decided to keep to form – the King’s Domain and the...

For a change of scenery, Emma and I decided to shoot across to the other side of the country for some “touristy” things in Melbourne and Sydney. We arrived in Melbourne last night and leave for Sydney on Friday. First thing… it’s cold! Really cold! The maximum was 19...

I’ve managed to get my hands on the sawfish photo from Anna Branch… and thanks to Bryan for a great shot! There seem to be plenty of sawfish in the river, especially this year, with quite a few people catching them. I caught mine on a big bony bream (about 20cm long). The...

Although I’m still hunting for my sawfish piccie, I thought I’d better post another barra pic from the Easter weekend. Emma, Emily and I camped out in a spot roughly between town and the gorge overnight, and although the girls laughed at me for choosing to stand next to my handline...

About two weeks ago, I had a bit of a bash for my birthday, with a celebrity theme. I didn’t take any photos, but I managed to poach a couple off Nikki’s Facebook, and thought I’d share them here… It was a great night with nearly everyone getting into the swing of...

Joy and I welcomed a new member into our family yesterday. Arty is a 3 year old staffy x kelpie with an inexhaustible appetite for playing fetch. He is named in honour of Arthur C. Clarke who passed away last week. In case you are wondering, Azba has decided for us that the C stands for...

I took Pommy Paul out last night to catch some cherabin, and it turned into a great night’s fishing.  We got to Anna Branch at around 5pm with a kayak and pottered around, flicking a few lures and just generally waiting until dusk until the cherabin came on.  At around 7pm, I landed...

Update (12-Mar): Selected photos of the ceremony and holiday are now available in the Gallery. The plan was for a beach wedding on Patong Beach but the weather intervened and the happy occasion moved indoors. This proved to be a bonus because the staff at the “Gracelands Hotel” really...
