Ducks Patch

This was the first time the girls had been together since Andrews wedding. They enjoyed themselves a Lot.

We got the chance to go to the MCG for the Tigers game against the Dockers. As expected the Tigers won. And at Half time we got to see Vincent play. A freezing afternoon and the company was great. New Zealand has nothing like the MCG. And it is just down the road from us.

Janet and the family came over from Perth for a week. The main event was the see Vincent play at halftime at the MCG but it became a feasting time. It was fun by all and all room space was occupied by airbeds and Kids watch every movie possible.

Jennifer and Myself go to the Vic market about once every two weeks to buy the meat and vegetables, and to enjoy the atmosphere. This week was Jazz Band of young guys. They were good and the money was flying for them. It was good to see young guys doing there best.

We finally got to the Melbourne temple together last month. The temple is small but it still beautiful.

Melbourne City is a nice place walk around at night. All the lights and a lot of inner city people enjoying pleasant walks. One night we came across this little merri-go round. It looked beautiful.

Yes we finally got ourselves a car. It a little Mitzi Colt. Royal Blue. Gemma of course is already turning to convince us she can drive.

These bays reminded me of the Coromandel so much it wasn't funny. But the rock formations were very different. but these were the last on the trip.

The light house was wind blown but out in the sun. i was nice to be out in the sun for the last leg of the trip. Jennifer had been driving so I had been enjoying myself just taking picture

These Photo's were from the ride in the Helicopter. the ride only last 20 minutes but went as far West as Port Campbell to well past the 12 apostles. Even we the cross wind it was still a smooth ride. This a ride we won't forget to soon.

The twelve apostles is one of the great wonders and they were a great sight. The wind was blowing and the surf was high. You could actually ee the erosion working.. Mother nature at her best.

Port Campbell is a little town that is a sleep during winter. How a town ever got established there is a miracle. Sunset bed and breakfast is a get little B&B to spend a quiet night at.

The great ocean road is one of great road trip. Jennifer and I went for two days driving and seeing the sites. The weather wasn't to bad, just meant running between the rain storms.

Took this picture as we went to the "Great Ocean Road". these birds were in a flock feeding, it was a great sight.

Davin's in China at last and seems to be enjoying himself. these are some of the photo's he has sent.
