During my first year in Australia, after coming from Denmark, I was contracted out to work at Port Macquarie - a quiet, but beautiful and peaceful seaside town a few hours north of Sydney. The first pictures were taken in Port Macquarie during Easter 1998.
Lance, Anne and Graham, some good friends of mine, decided to do some exploring around the area...
Graham here, on the right, The Admiral himself... (also called "Wobber") "Is that a chicky-babe in the water ?"
The photo is taken on "Kermit" (Note, the green seats...) in the river at Port Macquarie.
Lance seasick ???? No, just a little tired !
This is one of many photos I have of Lance sleeping - he has a knack for taking a nap just about anywhere - just ask Anne! *smile*
It's a great day to sail on "Kermit".
Whereas, who do we have here?
Me! I love sailing, and as usual, like to be a'head' of things...
"Clear water ahead Navigator?"
"Aye-Aye Admiral!"
"The Admiral" is giving Anne a good whacking.
Poor Anne...

In the mangrove at Port Macquarie, there are millions of these small blue crabs (Taste like shit). It's pretty amazing though

Traveling with the two boys can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, but this time it actually went very will. They behaved well on the flights watching movies, playing, drawing and looking out the windows.
They were even lucky enough to be invited into the cockpit while at the terminal and were allowed to press the big red button on the flight stick (transfers the flight control).
During the trip the boys were sleeping in the same bed (and sometimes in the same room as us), and they were usually so tired after a days of activities that they would sleep rather than muck around.
The accommodation was a combination hotels, lodges, cottages and apartment. (useful to have two toilets sometimes).
They also loved seeing large beetles and grasshoppers - but refused to touch them.
Some of their highlights were the unusual playgrounds they got to play in and the large lollipops at the airport.
And some of my highlights were the local toys such as the cars/tractors made from wires and the homemade slingshots.
