time to say good bye...

Well my friends...
The time has come and gone for me to leave australia...i am at this point writing from Canada... How WEIRD!! So here are a few high lights from my last week in a land i have come to love very much indeed.

This is the view from Manly Beach at dusk. This was the last time i saw the ocean. It was a sad moment...but one i will not forget.


My last week in Australia included an amazing road trip up the coast to a beach town called Byron Bay . On the way there we stopped at Coffs Harbour at the BIG BANANA...Australians really like Big things...they are everywhere...we had a banana milkshake..yum...in this pic we are holding the Bannnaner up...it was going to tumble without our big muscles...

This lighthouse is in Byron Bay...its the most Easternly Piont in all of Australia..totally beautiful...you have almost a 360 view of the ocean from the point...such a warm and sunny day compaired to raining ol sydney!



One of the things your HAVE to do when you go to Byron Bay is visit a little town called Nimbin. It is a place inhabited by hippies and um well herb loving citizans. It was the funniest place i have ever been...

This is the roadtriping crew...so warm and sunny in the sunnies...Paul is a champion he drove for maybe close to a million hours..

My last night in Oz included a wonderful Bye Bye party by some lovely friends. They made me this poster. it is nice to know that Australia and Canada are lovers now...good for foreign relations. We had a Freddo ice cream cake and watched hockey..and had some laughs..it was a great night!

Rhys and Mel and Ash...Kitten and Bunny and Puppy.... at the party...

So that was the end of my trip...which is very sad to say...i have made good friends with Australia..and i shall miss it more than i even know.. I had an amazing time there, i recommend that EVERYONE should go to Australia there are so many amazing things to see and do. To all of those in Australia who will reading this.. I miss you all and had an amazing time with you all, many great advenures were had and i cant wait for the day when we will all meet again! It will be Glorious!! And for those of you in Canada..If i havent seen you yet... I cant wait!!!

Check in on this site whenever you want... I will keep putting pics on from the trip as i sort through them...and if anything else happens in exciting in my life you might hear about it here...

Thanks for viewing!

Lots of Love

and so there I was, trying to figure out how to use html,.. but that's a different story, and it's long and boring so we won't go there...

Hey Mel , it's wonderful to hear you're home safe and sound, keep smiling bud, and I'll keep sending you secret love letters,.. I mean,.. it wasn't me sending you secret love letters. that must've been some other guy... much love from your biggest fan, and from me as well.
