...somewhere in New South Wales
... not too far from those mountains
It was still freezing!
This was before my 50mm was part of my life, I must apologize for the 2nd rate bokeh ;)
This might be one of those plants where the flower is not really a flower, it's largely a coloring of leaves (like a poinsetta). If someone remembers the word for that please tag it.
HBW Everyone! To those AHBW folks: batten down the hatches and prepare to ride out another bokeh storm!

This night was to be the start of so many things for me. I mean, the night itself was kind of so-so. I just happened to take part. Got off a month-long job in the afternoon, and Ashley came to pick me up. I didn't know at the time, but these buggers were just about to leave Sydney for the Nagano Olympics. I was just about to quit my day job, and head off on a backpacking adventure. I met Simon and Tomo for the first time this night. Mika too. Even bloody Yasukawa was there.
Nami, well, I'd known Nami for ages, but her being there on this night was to set it all in motion.
A couple of days before I'd called Glenn's place wanting him to help out with a job I had. Nami was the one who picked up the phone so we chatted for a while. Then by chance we were here together, seemingly the only two there who weren't attached.
She was going to be in Sydney another month. I was just about to quit my job and spend the next month getting ready for the trip, moving out of my apartment, etc
The timing was perfect.
As for the night - Nami left early, but Jay had his bus and took us all from the Aussie down to Pier One. In the short trip I remember morphing into yopparai-oyaji champion. It went down well - at least that's how I'd like it to be remembered. This impression has been reinforced by Simon on a couple of occaisions since. Thanks mate.
When we got there I went on to embarrass my company by falling asleep amidst the concert crowd's bleating.
But the point is, I made my connection with the girl on this night.
We were to spend a year of near and away, then the marriage, then two kids and now marital bliss..

Aussie Race car at the Shannons Nationals at Sydney's Oran Park. This was Oran Park's final National race meeting, as it is being closed at the end of the year to make way for a housing estate.
Sydney, Australia.
Aussie flag on top of the Harbour Bridge. I love how the rest of the photo basically looks black and white - which it isn't.

It's not every day you look up in your camping ground shower to see (right next to a vent) ASBESTOS warnings.. better a warning that no warning i guess.

My first try at painting on an iPad using a Wacom stylus and Procreate painting app.
The stylus is a bit soft but I have not used any other, so any suggestions would be a help.
I must admit that I had a lot of fun using this device.
Cassowaries are ratites (flightless birds without a keel on their sternum bone) that are native to the tropical forests of New Guinea, East Nusa Tenggara, the Maluku Islands, and northeastern Australia, where we found this one.

the name Koala is an Aboriginal word meaning "no drink" ... in fact Koalas rarely descend to the ground to drink as water is contained in their diet of eucalypt leaves ...
