Taronga Zoo
We took the girls to Taronga Zoo. Last time we were there, Isabella was only about 1 so she doesn't remember it.
They have really done a lot to make it easier to get around, stroll your way through the zoo too the bottom, and get the cable car back to the top. Very nice. Just don't eat the food - what a rip.
We saw the Koalas, Zebra, Elephants, Meerkats, Lizards and the Red Panda. We also enjoyed the bird show, which had Annabels complete attention (for a change).

I setup and tested making a timelapse movie with the 5D. Very very nice. Watch for more to come.

Intervalometer is a hard word to say...

We spent a couple of nights in Khao Yai, at a lovely resort (Koom Phasarnjai) that was part garden, part devotion to woodwork, and all relaxation. We stayed in a huge teak house capable of sleeping about 25 people on the upper decks. The house made you feel instantly relaxed, and when we first saw it the sun was streaming in the side doors that overlooked the creek, and made the whole house glow.
The staff were wonderful, and girls had a ball feeding the fish and playing in the water.

We took Aunty Lorraine and Mum and Dad and the girls to Erawan Museum, late in the afternoon. The girls enjoyed the park and waterfall.

I found a frog in my backyard, which is tremendous news. I've lived here for over 5 years, and this is the first time I've seen a frog, so it must mean my garden is finally improving if frogs can live there.
I'm pretty sure this is a

Here is an MP3 of the sound one makes, I've heard this coming from my stormwater pipes, but thought it was a gecko.

Floriade, Canberra 2011
We went to Canberra for the weekend to see the Floriade. This time we avoided staying in dive and splashed out on flasher digs, which made a night and day difference to our weekend.
My collegue Liesbeth joined us for the weekend. I mentioned to her that I was going to the Floriade and she said she was trying to organise the bus to go down, so we offered the spare seat in the car. It doesn't hurt that she's Isabella and Annabel's favourite aunty.
The girls were well behaved, and they are learning to travel well.
The flowers were as sensational as last time. The weather wasn't great, it was overcast cold and grey, but we made the most of it.
We had a great Japanese tepanyaki dinner that Isabella is still talking about, and arrived home knackered.
