15.09.10 Spring Skiing - Thredbo

We headed south to Thredbo to catch some snow with Gina and Lucas. Not sure what to expect we were pleasently surprised by the white slopes and blue skies. After generous loans etc from friends we were fully kitted up for the snow, me on my speed skies and charlie on his board.

We eased ourselves into it on the green slopes but quickly headed to high noon, the world cup run and the super trail. I acted as photographer while Charlie and Lucas hurled themselves sky high on every lump and bump (sometimes coming crashing to the ground!) The skiing was well interspersed with mountain hot chocolates and beers.

Loved it!

By the time we drove back on Sunday every muscle in our bodies ached.

11.09.10 Modelling

A bit of modelling work we did over a couple of weekends. Tiring... fun... good results!

15.08.10 Bondi to Coogee walk

We walked from Bondi beach over to Coogee beach to meet up with Laura, a friend of Claire. Bondi is a great beach which just has a certain vibe. I love all of the sea swimming pools over here, very cool. This walk passes over a few beaches and is lovely but is also a little like a highway - sooo popular especially with all the power walkers with their coffee.

08.08.10 Whale Watching

You may wonder why we have a picture of other peoples backs - this is infact a picture of a humpback whale tail! Almost as good as our picture of a shark! Not sure we would make it as wildlife photographers....

Photography aside we had an awesome morning spotting whales on their northern migration to give birth before heading past Sydney again in September on their Southern migration along the EAC (like in Nemo)!

We saw the whales surfacing to breathe and doing tail flicks, unfortunately they didn't do any big jumps for us so we will have to go another time because I really think it would be awesome to see.

Crochet Crazy

Just thought there should be quick mention for the fact that I got a little bit crochet obsessed! Think I am over the worst of it now that I have a job but still lovin it! - Granny Gioia

07.08.10 Hanging out in Manly

Beaches, BBQ's and Sunshine....

18.07.10 Winter is tough!

The weekend was as hot as a british summer so we made the most of it and got out in the water (which wasn't so hot!). We went surfing on saturday and on sunday Charlie went surfing with Gareth (who we met in Samoa) and I went Kayaking with Louise. We kayaked around the harbour visiting all the little bays, when the main beach in Manly is heaving there are plenty of quiet beaces around the corner. At reef beach we got out and braved the water snorkelling. There weren't any brightly coloured fish but there was a huge cuttlefish rippling away.
