It’s been so warm in the day that we have been waiting until dusk to go out and get some exercise so a walk along the Yarra at sunset is perfect, especially when you get to see such a spectacular sight… I find bats cute – kind of like a teddy bear in a nylon …
When we first moved in, there was a lovely green tree with broad, healthy leaves in the corner of the garden. We had no idea what it was. After some months, I was standing in the garden looking up. I saw an avocado. It (slowly) dawned on me that the lovely tree also contributed to …
On the first Saturday of every month, there is a food-swap at Smith’s Reserve where locals go to chat about compost and gardening and also exchange their garden excess. A few months ago we met Sue Jackson, a writer who took great interest in our efforts in quail and beekeeping. This fortunate meeting eventually transpired …
A couple of dives in the bay on Sunday. Saw a new nudibranch, which makes us happy. It much much colder at depth that I expected it to be. January should be hot. Well, maybe not hot but the water should be more than 17C.
For 11 years Paddy Pallin has been bringing the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour to Australia. This year there are 23 nights in 10 locations. This week (June 10th – 13th) there are four dates in Melbourne, which means it isn’t quite as crowded as previous years. If you haven’t been before, then go …
I watched these movies last night. Awesome as always – the movie highlight of the year!

Last night we went to the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. It was awesome. This is a trailer with bits of the movies we watched :) – There is a boring advertising/sponsors bit in the middle of this but I love the sequences at the end so much ….
Last night I went to the Banff Mountain film festival (on tour). The centrepiece was the winning film, ‘Sur le fils des 4000‘, a film documenting the attempt by Patrick Bérhault and Philippe Magnin to climb all 82 summits above 4000 metres in the Alps. But as well as mountaineering there were also movies about …
We went to see Deep Sea 3D at the IMAX theatre at Melbourne Museum
