Yes that's right. I'm outta here...
But only for a month and who knows I'll probably still be on-line anyway. After all I'm only going to Brisbane, Australia. Not the ruddy Outback.

The whole family (~wenglish and my two daughters Michelle and Laura-Ashley) are off to visit the rest of the family in Brisbane for a month long holiday. We are all getting really excited now I can promise you. The plane is about to taxi...
We're not looking forward to the 20 hour journey with a 3 year old and a 4 year old but I'm sure we will be fine. Not sure if the other passengers will be? *snicker* *snicker*

I'm sure we're going to behave like tourists and visit the Zoo and the beach and touch a few Koala's and Kangaroos (ok, Michelle won't even touch a bunny rabbit but that's her problem!) but most of it it will be about spending some quality time with family and letting Granny and Grandad dote over their two gorgeous grand-daughters while Mommy and Daddy relax just a little (yeah right like that's gonna happen!).
At least towards the end of the holiday Wendy and I are going to take three days off to Tasmania on our own. Hold thumbs that the weather at Cradle Mountain holds out for us.

The super-duper-cali-fragi-listic news of the day is of course:
I got myself a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III today to take along for the ride!!!!
YEEEEHAW!
Yes I'm spolied rotten - thank you Wendy
Who knows what a 22 mega-pixel landscape of Cradle Mountain will look like but my lips are smacking at the prospect already.

En-e-weigh....
Glad you've all been enjoying the wildlife pics from Nkorho Lodge, Sabi (I had lots of fun taking them and posting them and responding to all the bazillion comments! ) but now it's time for some family and what-not.

Thanks for listening. Take care and see you in May!!

Bye
Ian
