Happy Australia Day! Yes I like to repeat myself at times!
Being a newcomer to this land Down Under, there's precious little I can write about this fair place other than the peripheral. Stuff like: "How odd it is for summer days to be so cool!" or "How nice are the people here!" (A jogger thanked me when I stepped out of the way. Quaint.)
But then you people probably came to look at shiny new pictures, so I'll just let them do the talking, and then some.
My new place, see how small it is? How it can all fit within the viewfinder? If you recall, my previous one took 3 shots to capture its entirety.
The furniture's positioned differently too, to the left of the stove is the cabinet where I keep my clothes, which I can no longer hang on its exterior due to fumes from cooking.
On my way home from a walk in the city, spied some cute Oz chicks waiting for the tram. Decked in festive gear, flag-capes and funky headbands. Pity I took too long to whip out and ready my camera that by the time I did, traffic had already moved in. If you look closely behind the white car you can still see their heads.
Fireworks! This was around 10pm, and I heard a rumbling noise, which I thought was thunder. When I looked I saw the sky all lit up and I rushed to take pictures, which the haste probably wasn't necessary as the fireworks lasted for a good 10mins or so.
The live tennis match between Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal at Rod Laver Arena was stopped during the duration as the fireworks were deemed too distracting. (Nadal dropped out from the match later due to a knee injury, if anyone's interested.)
To top off the festivities,
Happy Australia Day! (I did say I like to repeat myself.)
