Richie and I went up to see the snow bunnies up at Perisher Blue, and we took the camera along. Along the way we got a small bout of snow, we experienced 1 degree temperature and had a “run in” with a kangaroo…

Have a look through the photos and leave a comment on Flickr or on the blog.

It’s late here 1:20am and I’m heading to the snow early tomorrow.. Sorry, I haven’t labeled any of the photos yet

But here they are, photos from Mooloolaba to Canberra. There is plenty of video still to come

Here’s the quick itinerary of my last few days..

Thursday: Hang out with Belinda and Fabrizio, check out Mooloolaba Main Beach and have beers at O’Malleys with Fabrizio, drive a few hours to pick up some Trials boots for Dave from Brisbane..

Friday: Driving and driving (Mooloolaba to Coffs Harbour)

Saturday: Coffs Harbour to Newcastle (to see a relatives new 350Z and say Hi!), then to Sydney.

Saturday Night: Yummy Thai food + Buzz on PS2 + Ţuică (thanks to Marius Ursache) at Ben Perry’s apartment (avenjamin) in Sydney.

Sunday: 15 minute train ride to Sydney — saw the Harbour bridge, Opera House and Australia’s flagship Apple Store. Drive to Canberra..

Monday: Questacon in the afternoon. Taking Pelham 123 at Hoyts at Woden Plaza. Chased a wombat (we called her Jill) across the road into the bushes near KRudd’s house.

Tomorrow: Check out Jindabyne.. Perisher.. Thredbo ..

Sorry for the missing videocast yesterday, there was no 3G coverage in Mooloolaba where I was staying. I’ve decided to post the Townsville-Mackay, Mackay-Maryborough and Maryborough-Mooloolaba photos (Wow, did I get all the names right?) whilst I get the video ready.

The first leg of the trip was only short, a mere 4 hours driving. I’m staying the night in Townsville with relatives Auntie Marie, Uncle Bill and my cousin’s Timothy and Emily.

I was a bit slow off the start, with a few pre-travel requirements stealing the daylight away from me. At the last minute before I thought I was leaving, I asked my awesome dad to give the car a once over and check the essentials.

Oil .. OK, Wiper Fluid ..OK, Tyres .. FAIL!

Was up bright and early on Saturday morning (22Aug09) to climb the local ‘Mordor” - Walsh’s Pyramid.

Starting on the 31st August, I’ll be jumping in the car and driving from the North of Australia, all the way down to the bottom of the continent (Melbourne).

This has been something I’ve been talking about doing for the last year or two. This is the real deal, I’m moving to Melbourne!
