Lizzy in OZ: November 2006

Tasmania Up North - November

Fantastic Tasmania! Beautiful rock formations. Hanging loose before I go climb "the Nut" in Stanley. Meeting up with one of the locals after a great ride in Shefield. A town know for the mass amount of murals painted all over various buildings, with each one telling a different story.

The whole view of The Nut and a scenic lookout from up on top.

Spotted an echidna, cute little bugger, rarely has it's nose up, always looking for food. Protects itself very similar to a porcupine.

The massive Stringybark"big tree" is 400 years old 62 meters tall and an incedible 16meters around the base, how's that for size!!!

GREAT OCEAN ROAD

The Great Ocean road is a fantasic and beautiful stretch of road on the south edge of Victoria. I had a sensational bike ride along this road. Incredible rock formations and magnificant beaches!

A view from the bike

and the road ahead -- awesome!!

Stopping to see the famous 12 apostles --even though there are no longer 12 due to weather. Speaking of weather, incredible blue skies and then within 5 minutes we could see the storm just building and flying our way. It brought wicked wind and rain, then 15 minutes later back to blue and a beaut of a day.

Every beach area I go to has diverse and unique characteristics all it's own, just brilliant.

Halloween & Priscilla queen of the desert

Birthday Party for Ann -- Theme Priscilla Queen of the Desert -- Famous Aussie Drag queen movie. Mish wearing a thong dress. Good looking couple --some of the blokes looked quite good!

Some of the kids dressing up at school, many think it is all about scary costumes. Glad to see them getting into the spirit!!

Canoeing with the group

My canoe mate Matt. He recently came back from the States, so we had heaps to chat about. Matt is always up for a good out door outing.
