Byron Escape

By hook or by crook the boys took Tuesday off work and escaped to Byron Bay. On my leave form I wrote "mental wellness day", I thought that summed it up nicely.

We had a great dive, the visibility at Julian Rocks was the best we'd seen it. No sharks this time, but plenty of turtles, rays and lion fish.

Here are some of the better photos from the trip:

Manly

Steve - all thumbs

This turtle came right for us

He swam right under me

We saw a Wobegon much bigger than this one, as big as us, but the photo didn't turn out.

Ray

Lion fish, we saw a pair of these, lion fish are cool.

Fish are useless at giving directions.

Aussie Christmas 2008

We finally got round to putting our tree up yesterday (the poor thing never even made it out of the box last year, hence it had that nice fake christmas tree fusty smell....)


It seems that Australian's don't go in for the traditional star or angel atop of the tree, so when we needed a new show piece, we went for something a bit more local....
