It’s been almost a year now when I took off in Munich, off to Australia, not knowing exactly what to exspect. And now there are only a few weeks left before my plane departs from Melbourne. Monday 4. June in the evening I’ll enter the plane; after a short stop over in Dubai I’ll be back in Germany on Wednesday 6. June and back in Konstanz probably on the 7th.
As usually after such stays, you never quite know whether you’re sad or happy – I reckon I’ll be both. Happy ‘cos finally I’ll have my friends, family and the alps (you wouldn’t believe how much you can miss them, just the view) nearby; sad, because obviously there are quite a few things to be left behind, things and people that I’ve become fond of over the last year …
Gallery: trouble, soultions and an update
Being on leave for a few days is enough to stuff the whole system up – sorry for the inconveniences with my gallery. I made a mistake when I tried to update the script and since I spent one week in the Blue Mountains I hadn’t been able to fix it before yesterday. But now everything should work fine again and as a compensation there’s a whole bunch of new pictures from my trip! A report will follow soon | See the pictures …
Gallery Update
No new pictures this time but a system update – it might take some time until the gallery will be accessable again.
The Lactic Factory Boulder Competition 2007, Round 1
Last Saturday the annual boulder competition at The Lactic Factory started again. I hadn’t been climbing for about two months beforehand, thus my ecpectations were not very high. However, it went quite well and a 7th place in the ranking among 24 other competitiors was definitely a surprising result. I even made it onto the starting page of The Lactic Factory!
Shortly before I return to Germany there’ll be the second round held at Lactic, just enough time for some training and a last blast on the plastic | See the pictures (external) …
Gallery Update
New pictures in the gallery:
- Grampians
- Bird feeding in the Dandenongs
Unfortunately something went wrong when I uploaded the pictures of the Grampians – now there are two broken albums. Hopefully I can fix that within a few days! Fixed! | See the pictures …
Photos of the beach party
At the weekend I celebrated my birthday; theme of the house party was “beach” | See the pictures …
Long weekend in the Grampians
Fortunately “Australia Day” was a Friday this year and we took our chance for a weekend in the Grampians to climb in the “Summerday Valley”. | See the pictures …
Surfers Paradise
Gallery update
At the weekend I went down to the Mornington Peninsular where Dave Martin had organised a BBQ at his beach house in McCrae. A good occasion to take some photos of the beautiful beaches. After a stop at Rye Ocean Beach we went on to London Bridge and Portsea Ocean Beach, before we finally met the others at the barbequeue. On Sunday we visited one of the numerous wineries around Red Hill and after that we went down to the beach again in Mornington where there was a nice sunset and an interesting view of Melbourne | See the pictures …
