If you love wearing flip-flops (commonly known in Oz as "thongs"..always def. plural and not related to lingerie), if you know January is the month of scorching hot summer, if you can't bear to ever be much more than a short distance from the beach or swimming pool and you are compelled to throw a "Barbie" to celebrate Australia Day with all your mates! ...then oi,oi,oi... chances are you have the heart of an Aussie!!

THE TWELVE APOSTLES AT SUNSET WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY.

via imagecache.allposters.com

The Twelve Apostles are isolated pillars of limestone rock formation, majestically standing in the Southern Ocean on The Great Ocean Road at Port Campbell National Park. Blasting winds and the relentless, pounding sea attack the soft limestone cliffs. Over time with erosion caves are formed in the cliffs, caves become arches and arches become rock pillars up to 45 metres high. These are currently eroded by the sea at a rate of approx. 2cm per year. As recently as July 2005, one of the remaining Apostles collapsed into the sea leaving only 8 of the original 12 remaining. Of course this picture does the reality no justice.
This is one of my favourite places in the whole world...it even beats a Santorini Greek Isle sunset viewed fron the cliff-face of Thira ...and that's saying something.

THE BUNNY IN MY GARDEN

003

Earlier this year our pet bunny who lived for many years in a lovely 2 storey hutch, managed to burrow out and sadly is no more. Recently 2 wild bunnies have appeared and often play where the old bunny use to live, outside my window and just under "the angel tree" (earlier post)..strangely,  our doggie Jackson (earlier post) who was actually responsible for pet bunny's grisly end, cannot seem to detect or sense the wild bunnies. He sleeps and lurks only a VERY short distance away. ...about 2 metres (6 ft-ish). Obviously, the wild bunnies have some sort of  anti-dog invisibility super bunny powers. ...how else can it be?
