Port Macquarie Day Trip

We took a spin up the coast to Port Macquarie on saturday, it's an hour or so trip up the coast but it's a really nice spot.

We decided to go on a Whale 'cruise'. Cruise not being very accurate we went out on this speed boat dingey, which was pretty fun, we saw 2 whales but they were very shy when we went out to them and couldn't get many snaps of them and unfortunately no jumps out of the water either.

Forster - Bank Holiday Weekend

We decided to take a drive up to Forster (prenounced "Foster"!). It's about 350 Km'from Sydney.
We stayed in Jasmine Lodge Motel and had a lovely couple (Don & Sylvia) look after us, Sylvia was from Tyrone and they were both very helpful, especially the owner mailing back a shirt I left behind.

I suppose you could describe Forster as the Howth of New South Wales, we certainly had the Irish weather with us all weekend unfortunately but that surely did stop our excursions to the local pubs and restaurants.

The Red Dust - Sydney

As you may have heard there was a wee bit of dust in Sydney on Wednesday, I managed to take a few pics :D

Views from our new apartment

Not much news since I've been last on! Started in a new job in one of the big banks doing IT work. Hopefully we'll do a few trips soon. Anyway here's the nice view from our apartment!

Botanic Gardens

We took a walk through the Botanic Gardens (It's on our way home as well)..I looked up at the trees and throught what the hell are al those black things, on closer inspection we realised there was hundreds of fruit bats in the trees, and yes we're stil in Sydney, not Gotham city!!!!
