Good morning/evening to all! You must be still enjoying your evening out Anne to let me beat you to the hard puzzle. Cheers to all the cats on Bird Island.

Hello there Greg, I suppose you've been and gone by now so I won't get to chat with you. Perhaps next time. Now to do the puzzle. And I only had two glasses of chardonnay so I'll see how quick I am!!!

Didn't take me long, perhaps I should have a drink every night before I try them.

Anne; Almost caught you. A glass of wine every night is good for you. And if I'm not mistaken, you have a local winery in Albany so you should be able to get an ample supply!

We have quite a few wineries in and around Albany, Greg, and very good ones they are.
Next week I am going with one of my fellow travellers to a presentation night at the travel agents I go to, to see some films & slides about Canada and Alaska trips that they organise. As much as I would love to go to Canada, it's out of the question for the time being. Need to save some money.

Ohh Anne, did you have to mention that sordid 5letter word while talking about travelling, it's just tooo sad!
Beautiful place though I don't see any birds. The water is such a lovely colour!

Sorry to break up your convo Anne and CG, but doesn't that look like an alligator or crocodile curled around at first glance! No, Anne, I haven't been drinking anything except water! :)

There is a Bird Island off the coast of South Australia as well but it's not as pretty as this.
Anne, enjoy the wineries. I had a couple of nice Southern West Australia wines last night. The Margaret River region is the most known but some of the other regional wineries are starting to attract a reputation now.

Hi guys. I'm going to make you all jealous. I haven't been overseas for 13 years and am going to Guatemala in Nov to a wedding in Antigua. I wonder if I'll go to Bird Is? I'll let you know if there are birds there and what kind. 4 weeks to go. A beautiful photo and great to do as a puzzle.

I leave Australia in 4 weeks. Going to England first.

Pretty scenery. Easy puzzle.

to Jackie from Brisbane - have an absolutely wonderful time. Enjoy every single minute of it. We look forward to hearing all about it on your return. Say 'hello' to England for me!

Thanks Anne. 4 weeks to go so I'll be around for a while yet. I'll say goodbye closer to the time.

Jackie, you'll have to submit some pics when you come back. Hope you have a great time. Tell us more about your intentions over the next few weeks so we all can get excited (and a little jealous) with you!
Kate & others, I went to Hunter Valley Gardens yesterday and am pleased to report the More...

Thanks Hether for that update on the Gardens. I hope you took some photos to be included in our jigsaw puzzles.

Good morning!
I live very close to the Rutherglan wine area - very well known for the ports and muscats - Morris muscat is to die for!
A beautiful island, for those of you from Sudoko land, I wonder if Lady Sudoko will dock there?
