Update II

So the next up date is that I have sold my OC1. The Anderson Canoe has been sold to another member of the club.

"The Ando has Left Long live the Ando" is what I said to my self. So i went and bought another Ando. It's a purple and white Canoe Same make and model but this one is in Carbon fibre and a bit lighter. It should be a nice canoe to race in.

Below is a small video that I made with my little camera attached to the rear Iako of the canoe.



Cheers L.

Update

I've been a little slack through April. I've been busy though, I am organising Hammo and the Coral Sea Regatta for our little club as well as administering a $12000 grant that I got for the club to purchase new paddles and a new canoe.

Anyway I've neglected this site a little. So I thought time for an update. The first of the series is a new addition to the family. It's a boy and his name is Bear.



He is very cute and plays allot. He's a Border Collie x Blue Healer. He gets very wet quite often and then plays under the house and in stead of being a black and white dog he comes out as a brown dog.

You will all have to come and visit, to say hello to Bear.

Cheers L.

Alligator creek falls

Another person has fallen down the Alligator Creek falls, just like old Tomo. Only thing different is that the person that went with this ill fated trekker was a blonde backpacker. She ran out and got help. With this slight difference in the story the Media (read Townsville Bulletin) saw fit to run the story front page. Not only that but it made it into the paper for three consecutive weeks.

Below is a link to a selection of the paper clippings.

Tom mate you did it wrong. Next time get Clweddto dress up in a blonde wig and run out on his broken foot and save you. That Way you could get some pickies in the paper.

Hope things are going well for you down there in the bigsmoke.

Mum and Bernie The Travellers

We are at present in Esperance in WA. Quite a vibrant town - beautiful coast and beaches, new mines starting up in the hinterland, fair-sized port.


The banksia is Banksia Speciosa - common round the roadsides.


The local Port Authority is currently in court over some pollution from lead ore in 2006 - they are disputing it.

Hope all is well up there.
Bernie and Mum
