Happy SnapsClick on the thumbnails to see a larger photo and then hit the Back button to return to this page. To restore the resulting image to its original size, just click in the lower right-hand corner of the photo. You'll see a button with arrows on each corner. Click this and the bigger photo appears as if by magic! Phone Home ... It doesn't matter how far away from
home you are, you can call ordinary phones anywhere in the world from your
computer for the price of a local
call Home Sweet Home Our favourite spot for Sunday morning coffee along the Redcliffe waterfront. We like the table under the yellow umbrella! That's Moreton Island you can faintly see across the Bay.
Suttons Beach at the bottom of our street (where we walk early each morning once the weather is too cool for swimming) ... and before you start slinging off about my use of the word "beach" ... I know they're only little waves, but they are waves.
Travelling Band and Dancing Girls! Who wouldn't feel like dancing on a day like this?
There's no need to dream from afar ... You, too, can be an Aussie (even if just an honorary one!) Find out if you're eligible to pop over for a working holiday or an extended stay ... Redcliffe Area, Queensland Below is the local lagoon-pool where we swim each morning. That's me in the foreground, waving AND treading water at the same time ("Is there no end to her talents?" I hear you exclaim in wonder.) The photo was taken about 6 am and you can just see the sun starting to light up the palms.
More Redcliffe happy snaps ... see the sun rise over Moreton Bay and "my" lagoon ... Below is the beach area at the bottom of our street. It's not usually as busy as this ... there was a surf boat carnival at the time. The white building near the rotunda is a seafood restaurant complex. They have a great seafood smorgasbord in the upstairs rooms ... just lovely to sit and watch the water as you eat!
The main street of Redcliffe - there are cafés, restaurants and shops on only one side of the road - for obvious reasons. There was a display of old cars this particular weekend and I thought some of our 'Murkin cousins would get a kick out of seeing the flags that were flying!
See my very first car ... a 1950-something Morris Minor! More photos of Redcliffe The Great Ocean Road, Victoria This is the view from our friends' front terrace ... to the right (if you kept driving for a couple of hours) are the 12 ... er ... 8 ... er 7 Apostles, and straight ahead - with nothing in between - is Antarctica!
And this is the view from the living room ... again, Antarctica is that-a-way ... Great for watching the whales pass!
Sapphire Coast, NSW The entrance to my sister-in-law's property
And this is her house ... you can see what I meant about it being in the middle of the bush!
This is the side view of the chapel
This is the guest hut ... a gorgeous little play house where you have to climb a ladder to get up to the mezzanine level to sleep!
And the tiny Japanese hut by the lily pond ... ideal for extra guests who enjoy fresh air ...
Melbourne, Victoria This is the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens, Melbourne
And proof positive that we are not alone ...
Tin Can Bay Region, Queensland This region is about three hours' drive north from us ... Early morning and the rain is misting down across the Bay
Looking across to an idyllic lifestyle ... the people live in the large house and have four holiday flats they let out ...
Locals waiting for a handout near where the dolphins come to be fed each morning (unless they get a better offer!)
Rainbow Beach is one of those places where the government in its infinite wisdom has decided that it's OK to treat the beach as a highway. Normal road rules apply (which means that the police can book drivers for speeding ...) Note the vehicle travelling between the swimmers and those on the beach ... See the car tracks on the land side of the beach ... Watch the child playing on the beach ... Nothing like a relaxing day at the surf. Aargh!
This is the Yeltukka pineapple plantation ... Heaven on a stick!
They even have resident platypus and this is the creek where they occasionally appear for the benefit of those who don't believe they exist. As you can see, there's a picnic area there. There's also a walking track down from where I'm standing to take the photo ... and we would have walked down but it looked like rain ... It did!
