Pre- New Year 2005 | Yorke Peninsula | Australia

My NYE plans had originally been to be in Koh Chang, Thailand, with Lydia… However, it was a little far to go seeing as I was in Sydney. I was too late (and cheap) to go to any of the major events happening in Sydney, and there didn’t seem to be any major friends’ parties happening, so I decided to spend some more time with the SA family whom I value dearly :)

I flew down a couple of days before the turn of the year, giving me enough time to spend a couple of days camping on Browns Beach, which is at the tip of Yorke Peninsula.

I also took with me Jerilee’s latest purchase – a Canon Poweshot Pro 1 digital camera – a mighty beast of a thing! We had much fun while I was there playing with it, figuring out the funky little features and getting it all working perfectly. I think in the space of 72 hours we took over 400 photos! Don’t worry, I wont be posting them ALL up!!


This is Yorke Peninsula, en route to Browns Beach.


This was our campsite :)


This is da beach wit da boyz…


Camping was great…. Beaching it up during the day… eating, drinking and chatting during the night… I don’t even know how long it’d been since the last time, but a couple of days on the beach was just what I needed.

All the SA crew was there apart from Mark and Sandy, but fortunately I got to see them later… Eloise was usually the star attraction of the camp – what a cute little bubs!!

During this intermission-like trip back to oz, I was also fortunate enough to get some snaps of ozzie wildlife… Roos and Emus (as well as the occasional brown snake…)


We headed back to the Adelaide Hills on New Year’s Eve, trying to figure out our options for the night…
