Brief Update - more to follow
To keep our frequent visiters happy until we get a chance to do a full posting here are the key points of the last 10 days. Ayer's Rock 3 day tour included visits to Kings Canyon, The Olgas and Ularu. No we didn't climb! We slept under the stars in swags. Back to Adelaide for a couple of days spent time drinking on a winnery tour and with Susan and Michelle. - Thanks Lucy and Michael…

New Photos

Live from the Glory Ground
Weekend 1st/2nd February During the previous week, Tina mentioned that they were going to a footy match. (as I've missed most of the season I thought it would be interesting to watch an Aussie game - Lucy). So Lucy being Lucy dragged me along to the second football match that I'd ever been to! It was Perth Glory (the favourites) verses Northern Spirit (yokals from up-north). (not quite Premiership standard - Lucy). Our seats were right…
