The view from my "office"

[boomy]

This was my office for 12 hours during one of the multi-city connections. Felt so good to be back in the air

Nice to see simple Christmas decorations on my walk (I know Christmas is over but it's not the 6th yet)

I'm not sure why I enjoy watching the ISS going over but do like to sit on the veranda and watch it - ISS on the left and Venus on the right

What's the hire car cost like? People still complaining about being sky high, notwithstanding the fleet had been pretty much replaced. Usual Summer demand squeeze?

You did a RAT that morning?

Great to see impulse travel is back.

View from our 'Office' for the next few nights, looking north from The Sebel Moonee Ponds, Melbourne Having grown up in Melbourne, they are words I never thought I'd say, but after staying at an AirBnB in Doncaster back in March, anything is possible now I suppose.

I snuck in the car park across the road, for those so inclined.

Cost of hire car for 3 days was $600 ( Avis was about $700 and Hertz 1k ) with Europecar for the smallest MG. At the counter i was offered an A class Merc for an extra $25 a day, which to me was a no-brainer.

I managed to secure 2 RAT packs ( 2 in each pack ) for the 3 of us, from my local Chemist Warehouse, whilst the girls were getting ready packing, which the Tassie entry requires- an honour system. We were not questioned, just scanned our Tassie e-travel qr code. A lot quicker than our 2 tassie trips in 2021.

Excellent all round!

My veggie office is now harder for the wallabies to attack.

@drron , you need 'the ultimate' (TM) wallaby, bird, you name it, protector for veggies etc:



Yes those tomatoes are about 1 m high and going flat out. Last year the vines reached the top of the enclosure, then grew laterally to abt 2.5 m. I've still got a heap of the damn things in the freezer, 3 batches of relish later!

The raspberries are just about done, but peaches have started:






I'll get maybe 3-4 dozen peaches and nectarines off my 5 dwarf trees. Bird only protection needed within my courtyard.

Cecil Brunner roses from my garden before another tropical downpour !!

@RooFlyer I am in a rental and leaving at the end of Feb. so the cheapest plastic from Shiploads. $24 for enough for 3 bins.
Next person in will get a bonus veggie garden!

As an Australian Rugby supporter, I feel obliged to warn you the Wallabies attack is improving rapidly.

Even the All Blacks defence has been breached this year!

I hate to have to tell you my efforts have driven the wallabies senseless. Bins this morning surrounded by their calling cards.

The Canning River in Perth last night - Shelley foreshore - at around 8 PM with the temperature about 31 C. A nice night for a walk along the riverbank.
