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 thougstyle="small-count"> Vivid Sydney was on again this year and in my opinion better than the previous years.
Because of the kids it was hard to find the time to explore, but I did manage to head in there one evening to get some photos from the classic angles.

Lucas is now 9 month old and the other day we went to the park to do some Autumn photos with him.
The photo of the day was definitely this one of Kim and Lucas having a moment together.
It was hard because he wanted to crawl around and play and because it was the middle of the day the light was pretty harsh.
We also tried to take some at one of the small bridges in the park but they were shooting a commercial shoot there and Lucas was more interested in trying to get into the water than posing.
And when we tried a family photo he didn't want to sit still.

For Lucas 8 month photo we decided to do a profile photo of the four of us just like we had with Aiden.
A bit more difficult this time because there we two kids and getting them to look in the right direction and keep the right face expression.

We celebrated Anne's birthday at a restaurant called Pete's Bite. The only access to the restaurant is by seaplane or boat. It is located 2 hours north of where I live.
The food is marvelous and bloody expensive. It is definetely worth trying (once)!
It was 40-45 degrees that day and no wind so everybody moved out on the lawn in the shade of palms!
So this is what a heat stroke looks like !

Narrabeen Beach . . .
My apartment is situated right on Narrabeen beach - one of the nicer and quieter northern beaches.
Now that I've said this, you're probably wondering about that surfer in the middle of that photo... and is the wave real?
You betcha!
I even have a photo of this surfer being 'chased' by this HUGE wave, on the wall in my apartment.
Narrabeen is renowned for its great surf and dangerous rips. Many famous lifesavers come to surf at this beach. However, usually after a big storm, the beach is closed as the waves can get pretty rough and dangerous rips pull you out to sea.
These photos were taken outside my apartment during the annual National Surf and Lifesaving competition.
