Summertime Blues

---

Summer was a busy time with Christmas/New Year's sandwiched in with camping, fishing, beaching, boarding, hoops, tapas, the aquarium, sushi, and a trip to a galaxy far, far away. What a tasty sandwich it was. Cheers, DMG.

Happy 2009!
Gabe rings in the New Year with Michelle and Mia at Swanhaven. There were plenty of visitors, like....

Possum Magic!
"Once upon a time, but not very long ago, deep in the Australian bush, there lived two possums. Their names were Hush and Grandma Poss. Grandma Poss made bush magic."

Josh & Skippy
Josh is the one with the black hair.

HMAS Critter
All aboard for a beaut of a day fishing off of Sussex Inlet. The catch included snapper, flatheads and a wobbegong shark.

Wobbegong Shark
The Canadian gets to be the hero as he catches the shark. Quite possibly, the ugliest fish in the ocean. That is until you've seen a ...

Shovel-Nosed Shark Ray!
AKA the Guitar Fish. This one, caught by the skipper, was too ugly to keep. The Horror!

Snappa!
This little beaut, accompanied by his little brother, went on the BBQ and was served up with a potato bake, salad and a nice Australian Chardonnay.

Rosella
A rosella is one of 5-8 species of colorful Australian parrots in the genus Platycercus. Platycercus means "broad-" or "flat-tailed", reflecting a feature common to the rosellas and other members of the broad-tailed parrot tribe. Their diet consists mainly of seeds and fruit.

Gabe and The MacDonald Girls
While down the coast we stopped in at St. George's Basin to visit friends. Note the roos in the background.

Rookies Basketball Camp
Father and son head off to camp. Hopefully the first of many as player and coach.

The Captain & The Rookie
Gabe was excited when the Wollongong Hawks stopped by the camp for an autograph sesson. Here he is with Hawks great, Mat Campbell.

Happy to be Home!
Back for a quick clean up and recharge before we head off on our next adventure.
