Save The Kimberley

This past May, Adam and I took our first trip to Western Australia. It was such a unique experience that I doubt either one of us will every forget it. We flew into Broome and for 12 days traveled all through a part of Australia called The Kimberley's. You can read about our amazing trip HERE, HERE and HERE.

This very special area in north western Australia also happens to be one of the largest holders of gas, coal, uranium and bauxite reserves in the world. Just since our trip, the Western Australian Government and Woodside have been trying to land an industrial hub here in order to turn natural gas into liquid gold and LNG.

The gas hub, located at James Price Point near Broome, is opposed by local residents as well as Aboriginal groups, as it will be built over ancient cultural sites. There is also concern it will impact endangered species, such as the breeding and migration zones of humpback whales.

This is only a small part of the big problem. Obviously, we do not support any gas hub or drilling off the coast of Broome. As Americans, we know what dangers lie ahead.

Please help stop this from happening by clicking HERE and to find ways to help. If nothing else, please just pass this along so that together we can help educate others and hopefully, stop this from happening. 

Thank you!

Melbourne Cup 2012

A horse race in America might not mean much to many but here in Australia its a big deal! Melbourne Cup is not only considered a public holiday in the state of Victoria but here in New South Wales, many companies close down early to enjoy the festivities.

My company did just that. We left work around 12:30pm and headed off to The Royal Oaks Hotel in the suburb of Double Bay for an afternoon of drinking, eating and most importantly... gambling.

Here are a few pictures from the days activities.









"Racetrack! Well...what am I doin' here?"

Sculpture by the Sea 2012

Many people look forward to the annual Sculpture by the Sea walk from Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach. It is regularly held in October/November and 2012 marks our 3rd one. Even though the art ranges from really cool to not so cool, it is always a good time.

This year we met up at Bronte Beach for some brekie with our dearest friends, Alex and Michelle, before heading over to Tamarama to start the walk on a hot and sunny Sunday afternoon. This 2k walk is a parade of over 100 sculptures from various artists from around the world.

Here are few of our favorites.
