These pictures are from our week long trip to the Whitsunday Islands with Zee and Maryann, we earned our scuba certification to 18m ( 60 feet ) while on the Great Barrier reef and Whitsunday Islands. The sights were amazing and we met some good friends along the way. We had a great scuba instructor - Harry , very patient and thorough, as well as a great Skipper - Basa , he loved to sail and never sleeps. So we had the opportunity to explore some of the outer reef, and some amazing dive sites. Such as Bait Reef, Line Reef, Blue Pearl Bay, Luncheon Bay, Hook Island, Whithaven Beach - where the sand is 98% Silicon , the pureset sand on earth.. You can use it to exfoliate, polish your jewelery, and its even used for the lens on the huble Telescope. Hopefully soon I will upload the underwater pictures.. just need to get them developed. We Miss you guys back home! enjoy the pictures. Oh and a special congrats to Rick and Jamie.. the newest newlyweds!

Met up with Hannah after her Music Therapy conference in Sydney for a couple of days. Also bumped into our friend Ben Hammond. hope you like the pics. Heres a small selection. We visited Bondi Beach, Manly Beach, The Sydney harbor, The rocks ( historical district), and Darling harbor. The place we were recommended for amazing fish and chips on the harbor edge.

To kick off the Brisbane city festival they do an annual firework and F111 display. The nickname is RiverFire. Fireworks are lit from 5 barges including tops of buildings in the city downtown area. 2 f111’s also came in for a low flight w/ after burn (twice), no pics of those though.. too fast. I tried. Hannah and I enjoyed a spot on the river near the story bridge with a pizza and some interesting fizzy drinks. Check out some of the firework pics below.
