The couple of years grew out to over 4 years during which time we travelled from Brisbane to Perth return accross the Nullarbor both ways in 2011; in 2012 we travelled various places on the East Coast of Australia.

Thanks for the honour, not really sure I am worthy, but I have enjoyed shooting pics around the country, primarily to share with family, friends and former work colleagues who were interested in our adventure.

I gave Marg my Canon SX40 camera when I upgraded to a SX50. It can get quite competitive in the evening comparing
what we have captured. Marg was heard to ask if an SX60 was going to be released. She really has taken to the flexibility of these cameras.

Cheers and thanks

Is Marg hoping to inherit your SX50, or does she have her eye on the new one for herself? ;-) Reply to this
