Piece of Dirt

**** UPDATE **** 23/12/2009

We now own a piece of dirt in Australia.
Well technically the Bank owns the land. but we can call it ours.


*********

Well were finally ready to try to purchase some land in the city.
So this is it. lot 1113 in Alamanda sub-division.

If it goes through and we get the finance then we start to build a new home.
It will be about twice the size of the one we had in Auckland.

So we're praying hard at the moment.

Road Trip East

Well we just went to the east. The area is green at the moment and surprising looked like the king country of New Zealand.
the day was a bad day for photo's.

Australia is Yellow

When traveling across the western plains of Melbourne you begin to realise that it not brown, at this time of year, it's Yellow.
The field are large and all flowering.

Birds at play

While on my trip to the Grampians National Park, i stopped for lunch.
And these birds joined me.

The Wind Farm

On the road to the Grampians National Park I passed a Wind farm.
I went off the main road to get some pictures of them closer.

To me they were an asset to the landscape, I New Zealand, they object to them because of the way they look.
What a lot of rubbish. these wind mills look fantastic to look at.

OH well. I hope to a lot more of them in the future.

Grampians National Park

The Grampians National Park is a park about 3 hours drive to the west of Melbourne.
I went on a road trip to go and see, all of the family were working or regarded the 6hour driving as too far.

The ranges are a beautiful set of mountains. coming straight out of the plains. They just seems to rise out strong and majestic.
The Grampians National Park is mostly a rockery area. The only think that does well there is the wildlife and great views and vista's. It was also a great drive as I miss the country side a lot.

It was well worth the visit, but is best done at this time of year when the place has some greenery.

Dali the artist

The National Gallery of Victoria currently is running an exhibition for called Dali.
Jennifer and I went for an evening Date.

Dali is one of the great artists, It was a very interesting exhibition for a strange man that had talent.
Jennifer favourite was the painting of the bubble girl.
Mine was the anatomy of the swan
