With all that came before, last but not least…

It's no poison by the porch, but I'm not complaining.

Look!! A blast from the past.

And it only took me 1 week to solve it. Don't worry Albert, you'll get your chance.

Whereas this took us 2 weeks to put together. Talk about a productive holiday.

If I can make even beer like this look good, maybe I should have become a photographer instead.

Tap dancing it's way to my otherwise growing collection.

Banishes evil and saves your soul with it's new opposable arms and gliding action!! Blind faith and batteries not included.

Where fresh really has a whole new meaning for me.

I guess he's just taking a siesta before his drinking buddies turn up.

Grilled Sewer Fish. You have to ask yourself, where do we have time find all these weird pictures in less than a day?

Not like we could leave without proving we were there anyway.

No we didn't have time to go up.

Wouldn't it be cool if you just slid down from this building from the top like a giant slide?

The lesser known face of the Sydney Opera House.

I tried to claim it as mine, but then 5 other tourists said that it was theirs too. I didn't bother pressing the issue.

I wanted to take more pictures of the cars when Mel took the camera right off my hands to take pictures of what she calls "very yummy firemen".

That's just me being a kid again. But if there was ever a war, you can indeed trust me to hold a gun and fire at the right side.

And so, au revior Sydney. Au revior Mackay. We'll see you again next time. You can just bet your life on that.

There we have it. Where we went and what we did during our 3 week summer holiday past Christmas and well into the new year. Of course, you didn't think we got away with just 45 or so odd pictures. Of course not, but if I did put all the pictures down, it'll either take a long time to load or it'll take days to post them all. So I'll let you view them at your leisure right here.

In any case, I doubt there are any words left to say to tell you how the holiday was. So I'll leave that to the pictures and your imagination to define. What's left is for my memories to keep and a whole lot of pounds to shed. Until the next trip somewhere. Here's to a great time and a happy new year to everyone.
