Bull Ants

Took these photos of bull ants at Sydney Wildlife World using extension tubes.

Photo of the moon from my lounge room.

I was sitting on the lounge and saw the moon through the balcony doors. Using the coffee table as a tripod, I took this shot.

Lens is a 1000mm Sigma mirror lens.

They just played a cool french pop song on triple j called “Dame de Lotus” by Emilie Simon. You should check it out. The video is pretty cool, too!

After some more searching on youtube, this song appeals to me too: Fleur de Saison.

And here's one in English with a cute video: Flowers.

I'm here!

I've arrived in Sydney!

After leaving Coffs a little late this morning because I was having a hard time deciding between the Big Banana shot glasses and the Big Banana keyring, the rest of my journey went off without a hitch.

I just beat the rush hour traffic to arrive at Matt's place around 5pm. I was met by Matt and his girlfriend Pen at the door with champagne. All very pleasant.

Here's a google-eye view of where I'll be living in Sydney.
