Uluru (Ayer's Rock), Central Australia (May-2001)
Many tourists climb the rock, which, besides being both extremely strenuous and ignorant of the culture of the local aborigines, only affords a view of the surrounding desert. I believe the walk around the base provides many more spectacular views of the rock.
|
Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Central Australia (May-2001)
After an interesting hike through this fascinating rocky landscape, we crested a spectacular lookout that looks down over the area into which we hiked next. We continued ahead and left around the back of the mountains to complete a circuit.

Our house in Spring (Sep-2001)
Our house in Spring, viewed from the corner of our garden. All three of our newly planted fruit trees have just started to blossom. You can also see the new outdoor setting we bought to fit the verandah.

Fire at Wilson's Prom (Mar-2002)
My friend Neil and I visited Wilson's Prom on the weekend, only to happen upon a fire in one of the old accommodation huts. It was fortunate the weather was partly rainy, as this could otherwise have easily spread and devastated the surrounding bush of this beautiful national park.

Ian's ankle injury (Jun-2002)
Coming down a flight of stairs at full pelt, I missed my footing and rolled my ankle really severely. Whilst not broken, I'd torn two ligaments and some bone. The sports injury specialist said it was the worst ankle injury he'd ever seen where the bone wasn't broken.

Ian's healed ankle (Apr-2005)
By comparison, here's a photo of my more or less healed and somewhat slimmer ankle today. The comparison would have been even greater had I taken a picture when my ankle was at its worst; I recall my leg somewhat resembling that of an elephant!

Sunset on our beach in Chelsea (24-Nov-2003)
With Summer just beginning, this spectacular sunset was perhaps a promise of the balmy evenings we'd soon be spending on our local beach in Chelsea, Victoria.
|
Kangaroo at sunset at Wilson's Prom (13-Feb-2004)
We took a sunset walk at Wilson's Promontory, a huge national park at the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland. This kangaroo looked right at home and quite camouflaged in amongst the long grass.

Fieggen family reunion (09-Mar-2004)
For the first time in 20 years, we had the whole of the original Australian branch of the Fieggen family together again at their home in Edithvale, Victoria. This photo shows Mum and Dad, five children, three spouses and seven grand-children.
|
Our back garden in Spring (10-Sep-2005)
Spring in our back garden in Chelsea, Victoria. Our fruit trees are always bursting with new life, promising yet another great harvest of delicious home-grown fruit, from which we make our home-made jams.
|
Smoke haze at Edithvale beach (09-Dec-2006)
Victoria's 2006 bushfire season was really bad, with smoke extending through much of the state. Here, the evening sun glows eerily through the haze at Edithale beach.
|
Pincushion Hakea flower (21-May-2007)
I found this fascinating flower on a tree in Chelsea during one of our walks. It looks a bit like a firework going off!
|
Happy lemon in fruit bowl (03-Oct-2007)
After a storm, we collected several fallen lemons and put them into our fruit bowl. Imagine my surprise to find this "happy lemon" the next day when the bruises appeared. This was NOT staged!
