A group of us spent Boxing Day having a picnic lunch in Melbourne’s Botanical Gardens. Great weather, cheese, crackers and sandwiches made for an enjoyable day. It was also an opportunity for to take a few snaps.

Me and the missus drove up to Mount Macedon yesterday to do a little sight seeing and have a bit of a walk around. I also wanted to show Xuan ‘Gravity Hill’ which is a seemingly uphill section of road on Straws Lane that you roll up when you put your car into neutral. The road totally looks like it’s going uphill but when you slip the car into neutral it begins to creep upwards. It’s totally freaky.

We also visited the Memorial Cross which was erected to commemorate the members of the Australian Defences Forces who died in World War 1. The photo below was taken in the gardens surrounding the Memorial Cross site. I thought the rain drops on the leaves would make for a cool photo.

A group of us headed down to Sorrento last Saturday for a barbeque. Lucky for us it was a beautiful 25°C Melbourne day, perfect for the first day of the Australian summer.

We had a massive barbeque feast, a few of beers and kicked the soccer ball around a little. We then spent the rest of the day relaxing on the beach soaking up the sunshine. So yeah, it was mad day.

Below are some of the photos taken on the day. The weird photo of the thing that looks like a transparent piece of poo I think is some sort of jelly fish. Well, that’s my guess anyway.

I had dinner with the missus in Footscray last night and while in the carpark we noticed all these seagulls just hanging around apparently not doing not much at all. I thought it looked a little weird. I know, you’re probably thinking, ‘Seagulls hanging around is just what they do. That’s not weird.’ But it just all looked a little not quite right for some reason. It was like they were waiting around for something.

After we finished dinner and made our way back to the carpark the seagulls were still there. It was pretty bizarre because even when cars got really close to them they didn’t seem to really want to move. They just like walked out of the way.

Anyways, I though the seagulls would make for a interesting photograph so yeah, here you have it.
