Kooyoora

Kooyoora State Park is located 46 kilometres northwest of Bendigo, and 12km west of Inglewood, Victoria, Australia. Its a 11,350 hectare reserve comprising Box-Ironbark forest and rocky granite outcrops including Melville Caves. Not really caves but fissures that have appeared when the weathered granite split to create cave like openings. The bushranger, Captain Melville is believed to have used the area as a hideout.

Lake Hindmarsh, Wimmera

This weekend I took a quick camping and fishing trip to Lake Hindmarsh near the Wimmera town of Jeparit in North Western Victoria. It is about 4 and a half hours drive from Melbourne. Famous for its Yabbies, Freshwater Catfish and Redfin, this lake was completly dry for about 7 years and has filled to capacity over the last couple of years from the now flowing Wimmera River. The countryside is awash with wild flowers, Kangaroos and rabbits, wheat crops are looking very good too.

Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

Without this guy we would not have the competition and stimulus to get the mobile phones and computers we have from the mainstream today. Telstra would still be pushing us that cheap poorly designed mobile phones and Microsoft would be on Windows Vista v3. Not to mention the beautifully designed and manufactured stuff from Apple themselves.
