A little hello from Australia!

Hey everyone!

Here are a few photos of neat things in Oz:

Some cool cliffs at Penguin Island just off the coast. It's a really neat island about 1km from the mainland. When the tides are low in the morning, people walk there... It's funny to watch them walk back in the evening when the tide's gone up... What people go through to avoid paying 4$ to take a ferry, I tell ya!:

Lilly the Kangaroo (can I hear a "SOOOO CUTTTEEEEE" Michelle Campbell style?). She was rescued by a driller who took her to a hotel when she was just a baby. The lady who works at the bar of the hotel raised her (bottle fed her and everything). Now, Lilly is all grown up (seen here eating a corn stalk) but there's no way she's leaving! She's got the life!:

Light saber fighting on the beach on New Year's Eve. Awesome:

Jonny right after leaning over a cliff to check out the rocks... We both got scared.

Little Beach = Paradise, Mate!

An amazing sunset viewed from our apartment in Fremantle:

A penguin from penguin island (again, SOOOO CUTTTEEEEE) he's onnly about 25cm tall:

And that's all for now folks!!!

Things are swell here. It's been over 30C for about 3 months now. The beach life is treating us well. So come on over, the water is fine.

Volcanoes and Ruins

A shout out to my Willy tripping friends and to those in Montreal and Norway and Mexico and Australia and Helvatia and elsewhere on the 3rd Rock.



We climbed the Pacaya volcano in Guatemala. The top had mad vapour coming out. It was still cold up there though.

Then we went to check out the flowing lava at the bottom. It was hot! Have y'all ever seen that!

And then we went to Honduras to the Copan Ruins and teased local fauna.


In these photos, Michelle 'Red-Devil' Campbell, Peter 'Lips' Lipscombe, Richard 'DJ Tricky Dick' Lipscombe and yours truly.

We are now in Tegucigalpa for a few days before we fly to Peru as the final leg of our trip approaches.

Plastered Scenes at the hockey match...

A while back, a couple of Stoners wanted pictures of them together on the hockey pitch (dawww) and I said I would take them. I never made it to the match and have been racked with guilt ever since. Like, proper racked. SO, we went to the cock and bull craft night and I got my chance to take the picture after all!!
Guess who??!!! See below for the answer:Then we gave them a sip of our beer, and debauchery commenced. Can't blame them for being lightweights I guess, seeing as they're about 5 cm tall... (see facebook for the complete X-rated collection)
If anyone wants to play, the figures will be living happily ever after in the undergrad lounge.
Enjoy
