Eventually an update :-)

Hi all,

Sorry for not updating the blog for the last few months....
Thought I'll get you up to date again regarding what we were up to.

I'll upload a few pictures from our trip to Tasmania in October 2009 and to Kangaroo Island in December 2009.
Tasmania is really a beautiful and lush green place. Bob was fishing quite a bit, we went for a hike in the Cradle Mountain National Park and just enjoyed all the little villages with good restaurants, pubs and coffee shops.
Kangaroo Island proved to have the best beaches we've seen for a long time...we went fishing on a charter, snorkeling, swimming and lazing around on the beach, sandboarding down the little Sahara Dunes and had a look at all the beautiful and very lonely beaches there.

Besides some pictures from my trip to Sydney in November to visit Sarah, a very good friend of mine, who was on a spontaneous buisness trip there. It was like being home for a weekend to have her around :-)

O.k., let's not exagerate... that's it for now :-)

Greetings from Melbourne,

Bob hiking in Wilson's Prom

While I was having fun with Mama in Melbourne and surrounds, Bob did a 4 day hike over the Easter Weekend, mostly good weather. Wilsons' Promontory is the southern most point of Australia, is a national park and therefore untouched.
Have a look at the pics in Album "Wilsons' Prom_April 2009".

Cheers,
Carolin

Mama in Melbourne

Middle of April, my mom was here for 3,5 weeks and it was soooo lovely that I didn't want to let her go home again...
Unfortunately, I was sick for 1 week while she was here, but we still had lots of fun :-)

Have a look at the pictures, Album "Mama in Melbourne_April 2009".

Cheers,

Holidays on Murray River

We booked for a 4 day hike at Wilson's Prom (southern most point of mainland Australia). That was cancelled because of fire. Then we booked to go to the 90 mile beach 3h East of Melbourne, that was cancelled because of very bad weather forecast.

We ended up at the Murray River (300km north of Melbourne) camping on its bank in the Barmah State Forest.


It turned out to be lots of fun: swimming in the River as a replacement of showers, renting a canoe for a day, dinner on a paddle steamer for a sunset cruise. Have a look at our pictures (Album "Murray River").

News: My (Carolin's) Mom comes to visit for 3.5 weeks next Thursday!! Can't wait!!! :-)

All the best from down under,

Bob & Carolin
