Summer Christmas

I love Christmas in Australia – extremely hot, searing blue skies, and ridiculous decorations everywhere designed for a completely different climate. Witness these reindeer and Christmas tree, part of the decorations being put up along the Queen Street Mall.

Belle

This rottweiler puppy is going to start training as a guard dog in the new year – at the moment though, she’s rather sweet, especially when occupied in chewing on a stick rather than growling and trying to attack your ankles.

Sunday afternoon

The perfect way to spend a summer afternoon – lazing about in the shallow river, beer in hand, inflatable dolphin nearby.

Julie and baby

Who can resist a pair of chubby baby cheeks? Even if they come accompanied by a rather grumpy expression.
