10 Days in Aus

Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of weeks.  I've been in Aus for the annual Queen's Birthdays (yes plural) big catch-up. The Queen gets one birthday celebration in NZ the first weekend in June and the following weekend it's Australia's turn so I generally take the week between and head back across the ditch for a friends and family marathon, plus a little down time.  There was lots of food and drink involved, starting with babycinos and toast all round... 
then moving on to something a bit more grown up at Pizzini's long lunch.  There were 5 courses before this appeared, each with 2 matching wines.
I have absolutely confirmed that I don't miss the Sydney traffic (dont' worry, I wasn't moving when I took this).
And at the end of all that I came home to this...
snow down to 600 meters and a wind that will get through even the smallest chink in your layers.
