NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

I love down under, and you went for 3 months?! wow, i hope i can do that also one day. i have been there for 4 weeks and i love that coutry.

Aww, how sweet.

My husband Locke is from down under, himself. He was born in New Zealand. Now he lives here with me, but we're thinking of taking the new little fam (me, Locke, baby Jareth, and Keith and Joulyana) back there.

By next NaNo, I might be exploring a new country...I've never been to New Zealand, but I'm charged up to go.

Hi Chris ~
My Aussie husband and I just got back from living in Oz for seven years, and we did see those Roos on golf courses and in memorial gardens, too. Aren't they darling?
I'm involving myself with NaNoWriMo for the first time this year, and I'm anticipating an exciting month, to say the least, as I work full-time during the day. Wish I had a notebook to take with me so I could tap away every few minutes when the occasion presented itself. Ah, well, I'll just have to dive into the four weekends and make them intensives!
My writing is how I met my husband. I was in Canada, unable to work due to CFS and I started composing meditations to send to people on the internet. I wrote one called Daydreams that this Aussie guy in Brisbane read, and liked. He wrote me to let me know and we started emailing each other. Now we're married, back in Canada and living on our own little two acre piece of Acadian Forest land. He has showed me his special country as we travelled in a caravan up and down the east coast, then Victoria (yes, we lived near Melby for two years) and then Western Australia.
That will be the subject of my NaNo novel this year.
All those wonderful memories have to be written down for posterity! lol

Well, sort of. That's Anglesea Golf Club, right? I holiday in that gorgeous seaside town every summer and stay right by the golf club. The kangaroos often hop along the front gardens and local streets and I saw one exploring the back yard through the kitchen window while cooking dinner one night. It's awesome walking by the golf club and watching them shade themselves from the great Aussie summer heat beneath the gum trees.

The surf beach there is awesome too, turning on reliably great waves for boogie-boarding day after day. Anglesea, and perhaps that entire Great Ocean Road coastline, is extra special because of its combination of spectacular beach and inland bush.

Say g'day next time you're in Melbourne town. Cheers, Julia

I live in Australia. It's too hot. The good thing is that you don't have to look far for a quick snack - the koalas drop out of the tree ready cooked.

You are sooo lucky, aussiegirl. I got to visit down under, just to see those huge kangaroos. :)

Though I don't think I would be able to snap cool photos like that :P

Sorry to say but I feel that the Kangaroo steals the limelight from ya, lol. Nice, cute pic, btw. We are seldom fortunate to see kangaroos in our area :)

...How did I not hear about this?

*cries in a corner*

Whatever you think it is, it's a cute picture. :)

haha, the pleasure! we have the kangaroo's hanging out in our paddock every day! - great to see you in Oz though!!

It was good to meet you!

I saw the picture before I read the post and for some reason thought the kangaroo was a very furry deer.

I think I need a new computer screen.
