Last one for the year!!

If you are reading this in Australia it definitely is only 7 hours before midnight and the year 2015 begins!! Whoopee!! You thinks so? I hope so for your sake! But I'll be reminiscing! I already have done...by reading my Blog inputs this time last year.
And as so much interest is in travelling ... our most recent trip took us to Sydney...our home town...well one of them anyway. The latest family addition and the youngest student of Sydney University joined us in our celebration of her mother's graduation in Industrial Law. Yes that was the reason for our visit and I took the opportunity to buy a jumpsuit in orange which had Sydney University printed on it. So there! Zoe became the youngest Sydney Uni. student and she didn't let anyone down as she watched her mother's performance. Not bad for a 3 month-old baby!










 Of course we hired a car and drove south to Moss Vale...luscious gardens...mountains...and surprise of surprises caught sight of a native echidna...what a pleasure it was to try and get a reasonable photo before it burrowed itself into the local soil.

 Then Dangar Island on the Hawkesbury River...was our next stop...big winds, heavy rains, lightening and heavy cloud formations challenged us...but luckily these storms only bothered us late afternoon and late evening. In between time we took our small tinny across the rough waters and visited the local club for a delightful dinner.



 Anyone ever see ducks flying so high from the water so as to be able to hide amongst the treetops during the heavy rain and lightening? Amazing? I never knew ducks could fly so high! And always in pairs!!
And so may you fly effortlessly through the New
Year and experience only the best!!

The unexpected or not hoped for has happened!

Sorry this bit of news has motivated me to write again! The LIBERAL government led by MR BIG EARS has placed the "TOE CUTTER" in charge of Social Services in Australia. Not only that but this government has taken the social ideas from America (read my previous blogs) and taken 21 billion dollars away from the usual "Homeless" in Australia.  No new ideas this government has decided to follow the ideas of some States in USA. Will making it illegal to feed the poor the next 'great idea' this government steals from the USA? If so, lets rush on the double dissolution!! Or the next election! How much more is this country to tolerate of this far right wing 'Nasty' Nazi-types' actions? I say rally now and stop this 'leader' with a small 'l' from embarrassing us anymore! Those who voted this mob in think again please!!!
