Our resident feral catcher.

You just never know who is going to be cruising through the property so making lots of noise when out in the garden is a very wise thing to do. This very large carpet snake had just eaten something very big and was lazing under a tree trying to digest the meal. His/her stomach had swollen to many times its normal size so I can only guess that there is one less bandicoot or turkey running around.

Trip planning continues with the assistance of Di who for the third time has sent me info on Italy and insists we go to Lake Gardia or as I prefer to call it Lake Ga Ga LOL. Looks good so might be able to do it on the way to or from Florence.

Please Please Please Barak sort out the budget and quick, this is not the time for a financial meltdown.

As you can see life continues at a hectic pace up here in paradise. Denise dropped in from Brisbane a couple of weeks ago and started the farwell drinks off in style.

Good Morning everyone, thought it was time to start blogging again and get back into the habit as the trip is not far away. So far the phone has been running hot with calls from NYC and Zurich putting in orders for oz wine, oz wine and more oz wine LOL.

Arty in NYC has put his liver into rehab to get it all ready for the onslaught and is telling everyone he sees that the invasion is about to start and dont be alarmed it's not a terrorist attack just an Aussie attack.

Hans has been number crunching for us in Zurich making sure we know what we should be doing (glad he thinks we know what we're doing because we dont most of the time) when we hit the transport in Europe. So far the schedule for Europe seems to be Zurich for 4 - 5 days then maybe off to Florence (Ron's choice) for 4 days, back to Zurich for a couple more days then maybe off to Istanbul (my choice) for a quick look around, back to Zurich, if time allows either Vienna or Prague for another quick look. All this is totally subject to change LOL.
