Troy's Gone Walkabout
Sights. Delights. Half-Baked Anecdotes.
Australia: Home again, home again - Jan 2009
Last family photo before Amber and Matt headed off to live in Western Australia. Carrie and Katie audition for a Jetstar ad.

[Insert unnecessarily cringeworthy upside-down Down Under joke here]. More lavender in North-East Tasmania in a single photo than we ever saw in a whole weekend in Provence a couple of years back.

Pah, who needs France? Binalong Bay (Tasmania).
Thanks to Katie for this photo.

On the very day a 13 year old girl appeared on the front page of the newspaper to tell of her escape from a white pointer shark with only leg injuries while surfing at Binalong Bay the weekend before, never has this old 'legless' statue ever looked more apt. Botanical Gardens, Hobart.

Botanical Gardens, Hobart. All kitted out to motor headlong into the Southern Ocean.

Bruny Island (Tasmania). Bruny Island (Tasmania).
Thanks to Katie for this photo.
