Just a drive up the road.

 What do you do when you have 5 days off work for Easter and ANZAC day and the airfares to Tassie are over $700 return? 

 Got in the car and decided to head north across the border to see the canetoads, just a little drive of 900 km's or so, heading off at just after 12am.

I arrived in QLD kind of unannounced as I had lost my phone the day before, so I found myself all alone for awhile, so went off to visit Konnie, who happened to be away for the holidays as well, so next stop was a visit to Uncle Howard and Auntie Marilyn, to find out, they werent home as well, so I decided to go explore a little.  Last time I was up there we went to a pool out in the canefields and so I headed out there and there was a storm brewing, so I was waiting for the lightning to crack and to capture this amazing photo, which didn't happen, as the lightning never came.

 Two of my favourite girls, Poppy and Monique.

 The day after getting there, we went to the beach, it was a pretty warm day when the sun was out, warm enough for even me to go in the water a couple of times.

 A little beach babe.

 My hosts for the weekend, Ande and David.

 Just a stroll down towards the ocean and these two were playing in the shallows.

 

Quite a fun day, just as we were leaving, I spotted some people who looked familiar driving in to the car park.  Lanai and her family, had popped an hour down the coast to see a friend of her husbands and by sheer coincidence on any of the beaches we could have been at, we ended up at the same one.  Later on we went to a park at Coolongatta and had tea.

Adelaide Trip 2011

 While I was over in Adelaide to watch the Crows, I had a day to kill, so I caught a tram into the city and wandered around seeing what I could find to photograph.

There was plenty of entertainment in Rundle mall.

There were all these random pianos around the city you could sit down and play if you felt inclined to do so.

 I even ended up at the museum and had a browse around for awhile.

 Taking some time out just to catch a pic of myself.

 What a babe, she even sprinkled glitter onto my shoulder.

 Catching a fashion show.

 I stayed in Glenelg for the weekend.

 The kids were up nice and early to use the water slides.

20 Year Love Affair

20 years ago there was a new team who came into the AFL, I remember thinking that thats my team after seeing them come into the competition and from game one against the Hawks, where the Crows touched them up by 86 points, I was hooked.

For someone who likes their team there's nothing quite like being in a home crowd and I had never been to Adelaide before, so seeing as though this was the anniversary of the Crows coming into the competition, I thought I better change that and headed over to Adelaide for the weekend.

The original players were shown to the crowd before the new crop of stars came on to play, earlier on in the day Andrew Mcleod, football superstar who retired the year before was on playing a game for the Northern Territory team, he was rolling along as per usual with ease.

The banner says it all!!

.Well worth the money and the experience of being in a crowd who wants a win as much as you

One of the two premierships we have won.

Two legends of the club.



A couple of more legends.
