Hi All

Well I've been down here in the sunshine for nearly two weeks and it's my final few days before I head back home. I took a few snaps along the way and I hope you find them fun. Rollie has performed magnificantly, shining when needed and keeping me posted about the time back home with flawless accuracy. Heat, sunshine, sand and factor 30 during my downtime drive from Melbourne to Sydney - no problem. Business meetings wickedly glinting under my cuff in Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney- no problem. Casual drinks in hot bars - no probem. Truly part of my travel support sytem - a watch for all occasions......

BTW to all Aussie's here on the forum, my travels through Aus are always special - but those beaches south of Sydney are truly truly wonderful......

Bo...I never knew that, a Dane designed the Opera House !!!....Of course the greatest ever Dane (in my humble opinion)- Peter Schmeichel - is dear to my heart.

The Greatest Dane ever? Scooby Doo!
The Opera House is one of the iconic buildings of the world. I didn't know the designer was Danish.

Peter Schmeichel, Michael Laudrup, Jorn Utzon, Hans Christian Andersen, LEGO, Bo from TRF, etc - the list of Danish contributors to mankind is a mile long... :-)

Back to the topic of this thread - I really like the pics. We should set up a thread where we can post travel-pics of famous sights with Rollies in the pic, like the one of the Sydney Opera House (have we mentioned that it was designed by a Dane?)
