Around Australia with Mini Me

[Bambi]

thanks Mad Aussie for these. Thank Graeme for me for the flower pics
I have also noticed a big jump in his photographic skills over this trip as well.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my virtual trip through australia. Please keep us posted on his health (if he and you doesn't mind ).

You know, I'm kinda sad this thread will be ending soon. I look forward to the rest of his pictures. It's been a heck of a trip.

Thanks Iggy, Bambi and Q1.

Yeh Q1 ... it is sad to see the end of these soon. Hopefully a few more to go.

Graeme used to be a very good photographer, doing weddings and some commercial work as well. Then he sorter fell out of it I guess. This trip has seen him pick up the old camera and slowly rub the rust off his skills ... until the camera broke. So, from about the halfway mark, he was learning to use the new 50D he bought. In the process, Mandy also took a much deeper interest in photography than before and many of these shots are hers. She has learnt quickly from Graeme's skills and several of her shots have impressed me greatly.

Those wildflowers are beautiful aren't they!!

Healthwise, well ... I just spent a few hours with Graeme and his lymph-nodes in his neck are NOT looking good. However, he's just driven right across the country in a few days (equal to driving from LA ... to New York ... via Texas) in a 4WD with serious problems towing the caravan. Which, by the way, lost the door on the way home They had to turn around and drive 35 k's to find it again! So ... here's hoping that the stress of all that etc has contributed to running him down a bit and he'll be fine again after a few days rest. Will keep you posted as I know.


How about those dolphins hey gang? How cool is it they swim right up to you?

Graeme said the shark in that photo is a Lemon shark and that area is a breeding ground for them. Not a shark I'd like to go swimming with.

Cheers Mike ... glad you are enjoying it

Got a call from Graeme today ... now I know why there's been no more photos or info about the last section of their holiday since they arrived home.

Graeme's Lymphoma is no longer indolent and after just a few more tests it will be time to start treatment again very shortly. You may remember that this is his 2nd belt with Lymphoma so it's expected to be a tough battle.

oh that's terrible MA. I hope all goes well. Give him my best

I'll keep him and his family in my thoughts. I hope treatment goes well for him.

Thanks Q1. More tests and biopsies on Thursday just gone, results due in Tuesday for final confirmation.
