Waiheke Island

On the Weekend, Tarsh and I caught a ferry over to Waiheke Island to catch up with Mike, Maureen, Pam and Graeme, for an early 60th for Mike and just for a general catch up. I can tell you one thing from the weekend and that is, it was f..... cold. A few photos of Waiheke and the trip over. . . . .

Carnarvon Photos

Continuing on with our WA holiday, Mum, Tarsh and Myself drove to Carnarvon for the day. When we got there we picked up my nana and drove to the Blowholes for a picnic lunch with Kylie, Brett, Ryan and TJ. Tarsh and I had a great day, we walked along the beach, visited the blowhole and hand fed some tropical fish. We drove back to Carnarvon for a great Roast Dinner with Rae and Gordon and relaxed in the spa with a beer and wine. Some photos whilst in Carnarvon. . .

Perth Photos

Whilst on Holidays in WA I got to see another part of Perth and that was from the 'tourist' point of view. I visited places I had never been before and enjoyed spending the day with Tarsh. Considering I was recovering from a slight hangover from the wedding, we walked around Kings Park which has great views over Perth and the Swan River with a great tree top walk, the tour also included a visit to the noisey Swan Bell Tower, which at the time happened to be ringing. As you can see in the photos another great day in WA. . . .

Brisbane Weekend

On the weekend I travelled down from Townsville to have a weekend of R & R with Tarsh who skipped across the Tasman to meet me Thursday night. Between a fast flight from New Zealand and the Drivers scheduled arrival time, Tarsh missed the pickup and caught a taxi to meet me at the airport. Our Driver, Gavin caught up with us at the Domestic and we proceeded to the city from there. After we checked into the hotel, we headed to the Eagle St waterfront and had a relaxing beer or three. On Friday Tarsh and I headed to Dreamworld, via a drop off from Gavin again. Dreamworld was awesome ! We spent the whole day walking around, patting kangaroos, feeding animals, watching shows and going on the adrenaline packed rides....sorry that was just me, Tarsh watched from the safety of the ground. Friday night we went out to dinner on the waterfront in Brisbane, a great night with great food. Saturday Gavin picked us up and we headed for the Goldcoast to have a look around and a swim, Saturday night we got back to Brisbane just in time to catch the super 14 semi final. Sunday was a lazy day of checking out of the hotel and heading up to Mount Coot-tha for a great view over Brisbane before heading for some lunch with one of my other WA mates, Robbie. In all a great weekend was had, many thanks to Gavin for his kind and hilarous driving in and around Brisbane, Tarsh and I had a great time. Cheers...
