Exam memories

The Exhibition Buildings never cease to evoke memories of sitting in a massive and freezing, echoing hall with sparrows and pigeons caught within, flying around its immense dome, and trying to focus on Chemistry or statistics. Aghhh!

A house in the hospital

The Women's and children's Hospital has gone all creative and built a funky art house.
It'd be even greater if we could take the sick kids to play in there.

Little sister.

Amazing what a difference 12 inch heels make.

Light spear.


Mt Lofty trail

The trail to Mt Lofty is like walking through the Botanical gardens at the moment with so many wildflowers in bloom.

Cheese Festival

Ahhh...a fabulous sunny and warm day, cheese delicacies from around Australia, fresh produce brought from home, a crisp cold bottle of Rose to share, live music, and the company of good friends to make the day perfect.

Hanami festival

The cherry blossoms are in bloom...fluffy pink petals floating in the breeze...
It's hard not think that we are in Japan...
Only the canned Karaoke music and Sake are missing.
