Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my
blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Appreciate it

Comment on Picture of the Day: Kayaking Australia’s Murray River by Gene Fausey

Kayaks are classified by their use. There are eight primary classifications: polo, slalom, whitewater, surf, touring/expedition, light touring/day tripping, sprint/racing and general recreation. From these primary classifications stem many sub-classes. For example, a fishing kayak is simply a general-recreation kayak outfitted with accessories that make it easier from which to fish. A creek kayak is a certain type of whitewater kayak, designed to handle narrow gully type rivers and falls. Also within these classifications are many levels of performance which further separate the individual models. In other words, not all touring kayaks handle the same…’..*

Gail, I am glad you enjoyed the posting. This is definitely a great day hike if you live in the Melbourne region. It really is an island of wilderness in the farmland that covers much of the land east of Melbourne. Enjoy your hike if you do go!

Thank you for the fantastic insight into Werribee Gorge, those little tomato type plants are in alot of areas in Vic we have often seen them on our trips around. Your photo’s & info are 100% better than the Park’s site.My friend suggested a visit there. The Gorge has some amazing glacial history. Thanks once again.

Comment on How Big Is Australia Compared to the United States? by Maureen from PghPA

I don’t care who claims what… I just hope I can see Australia before I die. I’ve been fascinated for years, and two of my favorite movies are “Rabbit Proof Fence” – the special features in the DVD are specfuc*ingTACULAR, and the movie “Australia” I thought was really awesome in it’s own right. *sigh* Still waiting to hit the lottery or something so I can find my way there.

Thank you David for your kind words, and for your kind heart. Everyone from the families, the rescue teams and the recovery teams were forever changed that day. For those who helped us, I am very, very grateful.

Oh, this makes me cry. We were an Air Force family; we lived about 1 very near E.P. Municipal (airport). B-36s were hugely impressive, and at age 9 (almost) I watched everything that flew; from our house we could easily see approaches into both Municipal and Biggs. We could hear the -36 flying around, flying around, but we couldn’t see it because of cloudiness. Suddenly we could not longer hear it. I do not remember any sounds of explosion or impact – too far away for that – but the sudden silence was so silent, so sudden, that it seemed…weird. My mother got a stricken look on her face and ran inside to call my father; she was in tears for days. Everybody soon knew what had happened. A friend of my father’s, a USAF major, was tasked to be part of the recovery and investigation efforts…a sad and ghastly mission. I have obviously not forgotten it, and on the rare occasions when I am in El Paso, I look at the Franklins and think of those guys with respect and regret. They got very little, but they gave everything. A memorial is the least we can do. Thank you; thank you.

Comment on Australia Ranks 6th In Expedia’s World’s Best Tourists Survey by Stephenie Brummer

Expedia was started by Microsoft and later spun off as a multi-billion dollar company because it was “no longer about software intensive technology” and they were “concerned that they would not do their best at this.”**

So long
