First night out in about a month. Went to a posh Japanese restuarant near our place called Wagamama It was good food but it sorta reminded me of that cheap Japanese place at home.(for the life of me I can’t remember what it’s called!) not that it was cheap or the decor was the same, […]
Luxury Living in Subiaco
by Bertha on 28. Apr, 2006 in Australia 2005, Pictures
Moving from the hostel to the apartment was a great chore. I’m either collecting too much in my bags or I’m getting lazy. I think it’s likely a little of both. Well, the solution to moving heavy luggage is this. Here we are now, in yuppyville and have a squizz of the apartment! The front […]

Just the Centre
by Bertha on 03. Apr, 2006 in Australia 2005, Pictures
Sorry there haven’t been updates n a week. I’ve been busy travelling the centre and didn’t want to pay $12/hr for internet access in the outback. Amazing you can get internet and mobile phone coverage in the outback at any rate! Took the Ghan up to Alice Springs. Pretty cool to travel. It’s more comforatable […]

I went to work with Lucy the past two days as a WWOOFer. It’s fun. Got to refill water dishes for all the animals at the Adelaide Hills Wildelife Reserve which included a Quoll, tiger snakes, rats, mice, kookaburra, cockatiels, one legged owl and a funky chicken! Also, helped to put up a 20 ft […]

Barossa Valley

We went to the Barossa Valley and visited only the one Yalumba Winery. Eveline had a connection there but we didn’t realize he couldn’t give us a tour on Saturday… We did a walking tour of 4 other wineries but didn’t go inside them. On the way back to the car we walked through one […]
Gold Class at the Movies
by Bertha on 19. Mar, 2006 in Australia 2005, Pictures
Last week I found a coupon for a free upgrade to gold class when you purchase a regular priced ticket. So, I kept my eye out for another one and when I found it Eveline and I went to see Tristan and Isolde. The seats were extremely cushy and reclined almost horizontal (although the extra […]
Trapeze Lesson
by Bertha on 15. Mar, 2006 in Australia 2005, Pictures
Let’s just say that having a lesson with muchkins was a bit embarrassing until we started doing actual swinging!!! This is me hanging by my knees on the first attempt. Butterflies before my first leap but it was so much fun! We got 4 trys. First was to practice getting yourself hanging upside down from […]
Dumpling Making
by Bertha on 11. Mar, 2006 in Australia 2005, Pictures
Eveline and I helped Auntie Katy make 200+ chicken mince and prawn dumplings for everyone (8ppl). Jessy and Uncle Peter go to Brige club every Thursday and Kev and Lucy usually come over for dinner along with Jessy. It’s a great quality family time although they eat the Chan way: everyone in front of the […]
