New Years Eve 2003
An accurate representation of what I personally saw...
The past few weeks in Sydney have been a mixture of great times and times of sheer frustration at staying in the same place for so long - previously my usual stay in any one place was 3 nights before moving on - making 3 weeks seem like a lifetime! It was a brilliant few weeks though, making some friends that I will kep in touch with for life and meeting my college friend Simon for Christmas and New Year.

The words "I'm going for a walk" were heard from him, and he was some time. Two days before we knew if he was alive. Still it was the thought that counts.)

Queen Mary?
She has yet to make her first world cruise. The ship in the picture is one of Princess Cruise Line's ships. I won't venture a guess as to which one as there are several that look like it. Having said all that, it is a nice photograph none the less.
