We (Jude and Bernie) are living in Sydney. This page is the record of our journey to Australia via Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa. One day it may be dusted off to record more travels to distant lands.
What are they doing? 
29th Apr: Climbing in Railay Beach
We've been flexing our climbing muscles on Railay's gorgeous cliffs more >>
24th Mar: Crossing the Nullarbor

23rd Mar: The day I got hooked on fishing
After spending a day on the water with Rob and Judie I now totally get why people spend so much time fishing - it's addictive and tasty! more >>

29th Jan: Central Christchurch, one year after the earthquake
This is going to be a somewhat depressing post. But then again, central Christchurch is a somewhat depressing place right now. It'll lighten up towards the end though, I promise. more >>
25th Sep: The Red Centre, and The Hatching of a Plan
For our first proper holiday since we started working in Oz, we flew to Alice Springs and went on a road trip to Ayers Rock (Uluru to the politically correct) and Kings Canyon. more >>
31st Jul: Lingua Australia
I've refreshed my anthropological skills and taken notes on the differences between English and 'Strain more >>
26th Jun: Rock clambering
So Jude and I have a new hobby. We're going to the climbing gym twice a week, hoping to get good enough over the winter that we can go climbing in the Blue Mountains when Spring comes more >>
