23.01.2022 Autumn in Australia

22.01.2022 Relaxing first day with walk along the shops to the beach then lunch at Canggu. Yesterday I took off on a cruise to Crystal Bay on Penida Island with a village walk. Around then to Lembongan island for lunch and a snorkel.

18.01.2022 Second stop on my winter sojourn was Canberra for a few days. Was a chance to have a look around. Did the usuals which I love - the War Memorial holds a special place with 2 great uncles on the wall. Love the foyer of parliament house. Highlight was a day out at Tidbinbilla. Got out there early to see if I could see a platypus. Nothing nicer than being the only one there observing such a creature.

15.01.2022 My winter sojourn this year is only short - 5 weeks heading south. Don't know why.. the cold is killing me! First stop was Culburra Beach. Went whale watching out of Huskisson, and managed to see one whale, and the scenery was beautiful coming out of Jarvis Bay. Spent a day down at Lake Conjola and walked along the creek at Fishermans Paradise. Saw the 2m gray nurse shark in the lake that got caught inside on the full moon high tide. Fisheries & wildlife were trying to figure how he was going to get out. Relaxing stay before heading to Canberra..

13.01.2022 Next stop on my winter sojourn was Melbourne - was so close at Falls Creek, I couldn't resist the opportunity to see the Harry Potter play which won't be coming to Sydney. It was fantastic! The effects amazing. Worth it. Stayed in an airbnb next to the Vic Markets, so rest of time did the tourist thingy. The terracotta warriors were at the Vic Gallery, and wandered around the laneways. Freezing though!

12.01.2022 Some more pics of Bali. Hired a driver for the day and visited some of the tourist spots - a silver factory, traditional village, coffee plantation/rice fields, and the monkey forest. We also managed to take in the huge statue of Garuda Wisnu Kencana and down to Uluwatu on the last day. Great wedding and family time.

12.01.2022 Third stop heading south was Jindabyne, and skiing at Perisher. This was before the second big dump of snow, so skiing was on hard base with man-made on top. Best skiing was over at Guthega. Had a great day with an old school friend on first day, then teamed up with a couple of central coastie girls I met on a lift! Nice time.

08.01.2022 Bali for a week. Arrived safely. Beautiful Villa and includes butler service!

05.01.2022 FALLS CREEK Part 4 of my winter sojourn was a week at Falls Creek. This meant getting from Jindabyne to there during the blizzards of the big dump... hence took the option of a couple of extra hours in the car and went via Yass. Stayed at Mt Beauty at the bottom of the hill and caught the bus every day. Saved having to put on chains, find a park, get the shuttle etc for the same cost. Could look out the window then on the narrow winding climb up the mountain. The mountai...n ash trees were amazing - so tall & straight. Pockets of ferns looking like mushrooms with the snow on top. The snow was fantastic. Different skiing to Perisher. Smaller resort, and fewer runs with trees - something you need in fog which happened. Had a couple of days that were freezing - was it worth sitting on a chair for what seemed like ages for a 1 minute run (altough really good)..so finished early on a couple of days. Again I met a couple of ladies to ski with - from the Hunter and Sydney this time. Had a great time. See more
