I’ve now been to Victoria! 1500 or so kms later I’ve had a decent tour of the Hume and Monaro highways, as well as sampling a few of the beaches on the Aussie ‘Ninety Mile Beach’. Unlike the New Zealand version I think this one is actually about 90 miles long. It has many secluded beaches which are 10 or so kms off the main road, if you can find them…
I went from Canberra, up to Yass and then down to Melbourne through Albury. Then on the return trip we went east to Cann river and then up the Monaro highway through Cooma and home.
If you look closely at the picture below you’ll see that the people in Vic are big on keeping their drivers awake…
The great JBE f. BMJ are second on the table, our progress can be tracked at the NICC website
Haha I love new toys! Hot on the heels of my iPod follows the shiny Nokia 6230i, it does lots of cool things…one of which is take photos. It’s nice.
Below is a picture of my backyard, and the one taken at the cricket is also a phone pic. There are a few others here.
Yesterday we had an excellent day at the cricket, watching Johnny Howard’s Prime Minister’s XI play the ex-legendary West Indies. The game was at Manuka (say maa-na-ka) Oval, surrounded by trees and a few thousand people. The PM’s XI clocked up a lazy 316 or so in their 50 overs, and the West Indies made it to about 150 before the storm arrived. Thanks to the wonders of the Duckworth-Lewis system it was decreed that the Aussies were the winners.
