the outer barrier reef

just about to do a bit of snorkling in the barrier reef. am i excited??? of course!

AMAZING! It was a bit gloomy and drizzly this day, but it made the island look as if water was coming out from the trees and mountains. beautiful. we had high waves but a great time (not so much to say for our backs the following morning). I grabbed adventure right by the horns, needless to say, greg was overwhelmingly impressed by my ski jet driving (more like flying).

inside Parliament House in Canberra.

I’ll be living here soon, everyone ready?!

Bondi Beach! yes!

we made our way around the island by Mannie the Moke. He was a gentle soul with fierce attitude ready to take on the world (at least the island).

you should have seen how he surprised me on this one. it’s now an inside joke. the view was spectacular and the wind was fierce!
