City2Surf TandA Go!

City2Surf run!

14k fun run!

It was a stormy day that day. We tagged our accomplishment at the finish.

Also apparently hot beef is good race recovery food...

TandA Go Kiwi Hunting

In addition to hunting Kiwi's we were also celebrating our one year anniversary!!

Hellloooo New Zealand Mountains! Taken from the plane...

Pilot - "Hello passengers landing in Queenstown is one of the most challenging landings in the world..."

Sweet....

We rocked hard the night before leaving and I required a coffee.

Also supporting the squad in another country, Go O's!!

 T on the other hand was feeling great!!

 Sunset in Q-Town as seen from our balcony... Pinot-O'Clock was a wayyy classier take on happy hour...

 When in NZ, you must explore... ANd search for Kiwi's!!

No Kiwi's but we did find a BIG tree!

Through this gate the adventure begins!

T of the rings starts her quest...

The trail is long, but T is happy!

 Over frozen lake we go...  Well not really, ice was thin...

The little smudge you see in the lake is a boat that is coal powered... 

T in the dream catcher... 

 Our journey continues...

We've reached the top!

Not too shabby...

 But the journey continues...

The quest for Kiwi's continues...

Watching hockey at bondi beach

New Place!

Soo I know we've been slow uploading and updating... welll we're back!!  

We have iffy internet so maybe a few less pics...

This is our new pad, self furnished, 2 bed'er visitors encouraged!  

Both of us have j-o-b-s  and are loving life!

Grill has also been fired up, first time tonight!

Waking up for work... At our new pad

645am morning sunrise from our new balcony! I can see people running surfing and doing yoga on the beach! Motivation!

cockatoo island....

Cockatoo island is just a hop skip and jump from Sydney....seriously it is a 10 minute ferry ride.  WE love ferries! 

On the way to cockatoo island we passed Sydney's amusement park Luna Park ( we have not been yet...)

Ah ok- before we arrive- here is some history- thank you wikipedia:

  Cockatoo Island is the largest island in Sydney Harbour in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Cockatoo Island is a former imperial prison, industrial school, reformatory and gaol. It was also the site of one of Australia's biggest shipyards during the twentieth century. The first of its two dry docks was built by convicts and was completed in 1857. 

The latest trend: people camp here....tents are up year round.  ( take note potential visitors)

Cockatoo also has some interesting industrial art work....

And of course there is one bar on the island- 

With a beautiful view

And ending with sunset! 

Till next time- 

Getting Intimate with the Ausie Wildlife

During TandA's travels around Ausie land we have had a few opportunities to "interact" with the wildlife...  From our interactions we learned many things...

Ausie sharks are more interesting dead than alive, and that T is still scared of this one

Wallabies like to be fed by A

Kangaroos like to be fed by T

Welll I guess they'll take any hand that has food in it

Even Roo's with joey's like to be fed

Koala's sleep a lot... And the fur is thick like a brilo pad

T likes fluffy chickens, but apparently the feeling is not mutual...

T does not hear better with fox ears

Not only do Koala's like to be hugged....

But they also like to give hugs!!
