The first day of the rest of your life.

You may have noticed that i haven't posted here in well over a year, id like to change that now. In fact, lots is changing right now. First of all im moving from Brisbane to Melbourne, me and my partner have already left in fact, and we are currently at Lennox Head on the Northern Rivers. We will proceed from here to Lismore, then to Tamworth, through to Sydney, before marching onto Canberra and finally Melbourne. Im not sure when I will have the net and when I wont, but rest assured when i do you will find yourself in a batch of new photos from the trip. After the trip is done I plan to get back into Flash animation and development while I look for a job in said field with more then a few ideas of my own as to what direction I want to take my own personal projects, but more on that as it comes.

So lets start with the trip so far, before we left Brisbane we had some flooding, the worst in over 30 years. We weren't effected by it all that much but it was enough to push our adventure back by a week. So here are the last few photos i took before we left.

Interesting fact, i love taking photos of sunsets, especially if there are trees and homes around to make interesting silhouettes, chuck some nice clouds in there and im a happy chappy.

Also saw my friend Zekey on the way home, always a pleasure to be around.

And the results of the floods I have mentioned earlier. Coles car park was a few meters under, that Coles is in New Farm for those of you playing at home.

Now after we left we stopped to fuel up, both the car and our tummies. We had Nando's which is always good, tho as we discovered today, not AS good when its cooked by a bunch of Crackers. Regardless, the McDonalds next door was absolutely packed, which isn't unusual, but what made it all very confusing is that all they had left where Cheeseburgers and Fries, and thats literally it, im putting it down to supply troubles due to flooding. Ofcourse having signs up everywhere telling people they didn't have anything else too eat didn't stop people from walking up and asking for everything except what WAS in stock. Poor girl had to keep pointing at the signs... "Oh... I didn't see that big obvious sign up there... well, what do you have?"

Finally here is a shot from Lennox Head taken once we arrived, and where walking up the street to get some Chinese. You get quite a lot of great sunsets, and sunrises from Lennox Head come to think of it...

Anyways, here's to you Brisbane, you were fun.
