Boardwalk through the mangroves:

Feeding the sting rays (no joke, these things were as wide across as I am tall )

Fishing!!

The master caught a gummy shark! (they are called that because they have no teeth)






BBQ shark


Oooh! forgot my bucket of Flathead - I caught 13 of them! (and ate them too)

A visit to Pyramid Rock:
The sky is hazy because of the bushfires further east in the state.










My 5 year old niece - such a little poser already!

Some weird plants:

Fun.

And thanks for clogging up the internet connection and the RAM paging file of my computer.

Well not really RAM.... but the connection gets slower.

Better.

Blaming RAM is just what we old-time geeks still always do. Stems from the days when computers really didn't have much of it.

thank you!

Yeah, your trip was horrible, wasn't it?

These really are fantastic pictures, Charlotte. Some of the individual ones are brilliant (how do you manage to get the focus and the light perfect in the "action" ones?), but most of all I'm impressed by the overall quality and how well they all complement each other. It's a very difficult art to take a series of pictures that work that well as parts of a whole, but these really do. And not only do they look stylish together, they tell a story! It's the story of your trip, including the entire mood, pace and atmosphere. I can almost smell the barbecue and feel the soft sunrays touching my skin. I'm not kidding.

Despite what you've told me, you seem to have had a wonderful time. I would have loved to be there, trekking through the scrublands (they seem to come right out of a twisted fairy tale) and fishing and telling stories to the kids. I would have felt so relaxed if I were you, even though I understand that the babysitting chores must have been overwhelming at times.

Great work!

These are some of my favourite individual pictures:

Wow, I went to the grocery store and for a pedi, and the pictures STILL weren't done loeading.


Seriously though, these pics are thee best. They're GORGEOUS.

But the one of the three kids walking into the water is priceless.

Oh and your oldest son looks exactly like you.

Really beautiful pictures, looks like it was a lovely vacation.

Wow nice pics. U guys look like yall had fun
