Redbull Flugtag!

A beautiful sunny day in Sydney:

































































Roller Derby!


Contemporary roller derby is an American-invented contact sport with roots in sports entertainment. The game is based on formation roller skating around an oval track by two teams. Points are scored as the designated scoring player (the "jammer") of both teams each laps members of the opposing team, including its "blockers,"[1] hence offense and defense typically occur simultaneously. (wikipedia)





We were seating in the suicide area... mind the falling skaters!

The Blue Mountains

Deux heures et demi de train de Sydney, 15 degres plus froid, les Blue Mountains!
One weekend, we took the train from Sydney, and met Brigette and Geoff in the Blue Mountains for a nice getaway. Unfortunately, it was much colder than we were getting used to, but luckily the house that we rented had a wood burning stove!


Au depart de notre premiere randonnee dans le bush australien!












Des arbres qui pelent.
On our bushwalks, you often see these trees, which have been extraexfoliated.

Going to explore some caves.


















Just a little bit of birdseed results in a lot of pretty birds.










































































Another bushwalk led us to this enormous waterfall.
