G'day & welcome to Australia!

by colin_bramso - last update: Oct 14, 2007

View from our balcony
We came to Australia on a holiday back in 1981, decided it was a great place to live and were lucky enough to be able to move here. Between the time we arrived in 1985 and when we moved back to Dubai in 2005 we've travelled thousands of kilometres, but it's such a huge country we still have most of it to see. We'll have plenty of travelling to do when we go back. We kept our house on the hill overlooking Terrigal Bay and town.

Trying to put these pages together will be an ongoing job - there's so much to tell, so many photos. I'll have to keep coming back to update. I'll try to find some photos that are a bit different from the ones you usually see - but I'll have to include some of the obvious ones too!


There are a few Tips below. Most of the information, though, is on a Travelogue that shows some of the places we've been. It includes photos of some of our unique wildlife too, and it will give you some idea of how varied Australia is. To go there, just click on the tab. This is an overview of Australia, but I've also started building pages of smaller individual areas, so you might like to have a look at those if you don't have time to go through this large Travelogue.

 Colin - Ta for directing Etoile2b to your details here which should be very useful to her. I was going to attempt a detailed reply but am very busy at present ... also as you may have gathered I prefer the other drive she mentions ...

 Nice travelogue. I like the birdlife also, have planted the garden for the birds. Wondered why you moved back to Dubai?

 Great pages Colin although you are making me a little too homesick for my liking. Have not had the chance to visit Terrigal but you make it sound incredibly appealing. Am in total agreement about the coffee comment by the way. Stay safe and be happy :)
