We went for a camping trip up to Peregian Beach, Sunshine Coast (same place as New Years for those that stayed in SEQ) over the Labour Day weekend. Had a good time. Paul, Polly and Michael swam and surfed alot, I was extremely busy - as I always am when camping, and Daniel did Dan stuff.
After dinner at the Peregian Beach Hotel - tequila shots were up.
Polly and Michael - note Michael's smile instead of a silly face. 
Went down to Melbourne to watch the Lion King. I managed to convince Daniel to come down and see it with me. I thought it was great, Daniel almost fell asleep through it but I loved it. We also did a bit of sightseeing, some shopping, went up the Observation Deck in the City, played a few games at the Casino (big surprise there), did a bit of a boat trip up the river and had a quick visit with Sammy.
Views from the Observation Deck in Melbourne.
As you are all aware of my sporto behaviours, thought I'd throw in a picture of our rowing team. I am the fourth from the right, one of the ones paying no attention to our coach.
I think we ended up coming last in the losers final, so we were the worst team there, couldn't even win the race for beer. Had fun on regatta day, though I was very glad the early mornings were over.
Went to Sydney for Queen's Birthday weekend. We hired a car and drove to the 3 sisters. Wonderful view I am sure, this was the best we got!!!
This is the view from our hotel room.
Again did the touristy thing, went for a cruise along the river, went to the aquarium, Sydney Tower (they have the crappest show there), Manly and the Taronga Zoo.
Making friends with the Giraffes.
I went to visit my parents a few weekends ago and we went out to South Molle Island - remind anyone of New Years???
And here's a cool spotty sting ray.
I know its long but I figure now I won't have to re-post for ages. I am hungry now after that effort.
