Ekka Raceday

This wednesday the Ekka raceday took place! A nice opportunity to wear a suit - I think this was the first time in Australia... Of course, we placed some bets on the horses. Alex made quite a fortune!
















Friends from France, Japan, and Oz!

Cape York No.2

Last weekend, I received some additional picture and video material from our trip to Cape York! Enjoy!































The cows weren't that smart to give way... :-D











Time passes by even faster if you drink some beers while you get driven (...I said get!) :-)







No worries, this was not our car! Nevertheless, the old wrecks on the road always reminded us to drive carefully!





What a gigantic ant-hill!


















These were my favourite falls. We managed to swim in between the cascades!!







Really far away from all civilisation!













This video shows Richard while he is watching some other guys crossing the creek before trying it by himself....


Good that our Toyota has a snorkel! :-D


Trying to turn-around at the best location! ;-) We came into this situation because a tree trunk blogged the whole road! Moreover, the hill behind the trunk was too steep to just reverse back - so the car had to turn around that we could use the winch. Thx to richard that he installed that little gadget before the trip!

My brother moves into my room....

On the face of it, I finally moved out at home ;-)
My father seems pretty amused to renovate my old room (including my nice ethiopian flag...)
