The view from my "office"

[Pushka]

What did you catch?

This is the Adelaide place. Fishing happens at Port Broughton about 2 hours north west. . We just have dolphins here.

 

[Flashback]

Only because of the pretty flowers and you saw a cough cat

Darn autocorrect! Screen = scree ... I'm sure @RooFlyer loves a good scree

Saw a few cough cats, including some kittens but they were too quick for me!

Our very nice apartment in Jaffna Sri Lanka



In the right spot to see a ceremony



Causeway leading to Jaffna

A walk by the sea (Cronulla).

 

[Flashback]

The view of my Andorra to France office.






Just when you thought you'd made it through the border checks, smuggling items... a few km down the ride hid a 2nd set of customs / Police. Their profiling was spot on as all the cars and vans they had pulled over had cigarettes falling out of the boot they were so far over the limit!


I didn't find the shopping in Andorra to be that great to be honest.

The Escort looks like it should be in a showroom not a racetrack. Amazing prep.
The Porsche is ok too.

Agreed, it’s going to be very dusty out in the forests, sometimes it’s a real shame to get them dirty!

Must be full strip down and rebuild. Fastidious.

Hill of Friends lunch at Henschke, with friends. Tour of the Hill of Grace, Hill of Peace and Mt Edelstone vineyards and tasting first ( as above).

Then a 4 hr lunch, hosted by Stephen Henschke

Canapés and sparkling to start ( not shown!)





10 for lunch, hosted by Stephen Henschke



The challenge ahead



Scallop agnolotti, with the 2 semillons. I had the Hill of Peace at the Brisbane dinner and was looking forward to it again.



Lamb, with 1998 and 2018 Cyril.



Wagyu sirloin, with some truffled sauce



and ... As in Brisbane, I preferred the 2018 HoG to the museum release.



French cheeses, with Noble 2016 semilllon



The spare glass was for some muscat, served with the chokkies and coffee/hot chocolate after.

The wrap-up:

Makes me wish I was your friend Rooflyer….

Great day getting around Jaffna Sri Lanka

 

[QF WP]

My aluminum office from my usual office (BNE) - there a little bit of low cloud









to my office of the day (ADL). Short final view:



and one of the airport

 

[QF WP]

It was a long day in my ADL office (hire car) driving around seeing clients in their homes and offices.

Lovely sunset in Ridgehaven before I drove back to the airport:



Back to my temporary office



and saying goodbye to my temporary city on my way to my next city office (DRW)

 

[QF WP]

Early morning view from temporary accommodation office (DoubleTree Darwin) - looking across the Esplanade to the water



Very similar to Cairns

 

[QF WP]

Saying goodbye to my temporary DRW office as I head home.

Darwin AFB is right next to DRW airport and some of the US aircraft currently on training / war games. Double width runways allow for multiple fighters to take off in formation. I missed catching a photo of the lone fighter that took off.

Views of Darwin and the harbour:













Darkness descents (as we do as well) on BNE

Saying goodbye to my temporary DRW office as I head home.

Tindall AFB is right next to DRW airport and some of the US aircraft currently on training / war games. Double width runways allow for multiple fighters to take off in formation. I missed catching a photo of the lone fighter that took off.

RAAF Base Tindal is actually just outside of Katherine. That's RAAF Base Darwin on the southern side of DRW airport. There's usually a half decent array of US Marine gear there at the best of time. However exercise Talisman Sable starts today so there would be more than the usual amount of foreign air force aircraft there now.

Also, I think your camera lens could do with a clean

 

[QF WP]

Right you are @Daver6, I stand corrected and made the changes.

No the camera lens is (relatively) clean, that was the pitted outside window of the aircraft. Can’t do anything about that…
