Welcome to Huskisson!
And we're off again. This time it is camping on Jervis Bay in the town of Huskisson. Please heed the warnings.
And congratulations to Teresa Crann who was our first blogger to recognized the fact that Gabriel and I occasionally dress the same. Not in a creepy, fading Hollywood-star kind of way but in a cool, subtle Sears catalog way. Your platypus is in the mail.
Long may you run,
DMG

Australia
Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name...more info

The Eady Family Compound
It is a fairly sparce campsite by Pine Island standards but it did the trick for us. Note our '93 Ford Falcon - the last of the V8 interceptors.
Sharknet Beach
This beautiful stretch was right in the town of Huskisson, on Jervis Bay, NSW. We could see the dolphins from the shore.
Relax!
Michelle catches up on some summer reading while G looks on. I had just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Spiderweb of Doom
Only for the brave.
The Husky Pub
The best beer with a view we've seen...so far.
Hyams Beach
Listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the whitest sand beach in the world.
Happy To Be At Hyams
What's not to smile about?
One More For The Ladies
...by request.
Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination
We were into Sydney for this show at the Powerhouse museum.
R2-D2
Which one is the real robot?
The '77 Millenium Falcon
The original model - not to be confused with the '93 Ford Falcon - the last of the V8 interceptors.
Luke's Landspeeder
This model reminded me of my old G.I. Joe All-Terrain Troubleshooter. The things you see when you don't have any firecrackers.
Luke's Landspeeder: Episode 2
The real deal. Take that you geeks.
Gabe's Landspeeder
Using some Lego and a few magnets G was able to build his own speeder. And then he rescued the princess, blew up the Deathstar, and saved the Universe.
Gabe's Landspeeder: Episode 2
This was lots of fun till it broke off it's mooring. He lost control and flattened a village of Ewoks.
The Man In Black
Does this Cloak make me look fat?
"Hello, I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations."
C-3PO, also spelled See-Threepio, also called Threepio for short, was a protocol droid, a droid specifically designed to interact with organics. C-3PO's TranLang III Communicator module combined with his AA-1 VerboBrain allowed him to be fluent in over six million forms of communication. He was also equipped with over thirty secondary functions. C-3PO was generally seen with his counterpart, R2-D2, a small, wheeled R2-series astromech droid. C-3PO's main function as a protocol droid was to assist with etiquette, customs, and translation so that meetings of different cultures ran smoothly. In his time, C-3PO loyally served over forty masters. He hated adventure and space travel, as they often resulted in him coming out on the wrong end of a fight, losing parts, and having them reattached, sometimes incorrectly. Together with his fellow droid R2-D2, C-3PO played a vital and pivotal role in galactic history, however lowly he thought of himself.
Dr. Roboto
Next up for young Skywalker was a trip to the robot factory
Clone Trooper or Stormtrooper?
I always knew they were baddies.
Ready For The Escape Pod
Gabe keeps an eye out for Vader and his goons.

Hi Guys! What great pictures. Simon loved the star wars and aquarium shots and only wanted to know when we'd be going there ourselves, prompting a short geography lesson. Missing you and happy to hear that you are lovin' your travels. They sound fantastic. Hugs

Star Wars and Star Fish
Don and Michelle, that was awesome! As you know I am a Star Wars (nerd) fan. I saw a similar show whilst traveling through Edinburough, Scotland. Don, no the cape is very slimming, Gabe, I could tell which one was the robot--great disguise, and thanks for the Platapus! Can't wait to get her/him. My cats will be thrilled! And yes, the Sears Catalogue rocks! Can I have your autograph? LOL! T
