Camera house Bendigo VIP night

his evening, our local Camera House store in Bendigo hosted a VIP night. This meant that they had several types and brands of cameras and other items on display. I was particularly interested in the Sony A6400. This looks like a great camera for travelling and blogging. It might well be my next camera.

The night was very informative and well worth a visit.

Christmas new year 2018 - 2019

This is my last post for 2018 and my first for 2019. Just what Have I been up to ??? Well, on the 24th of December I flew to Sydney from Melbourne with Tigerair. It was a nice flight, though a bit bumpy after take off.

I stayed with my brother Bill at his unit in Woolooware bay.

On Christmas day I had Christmas with the family in Cronulla at the house of my sister and brother in law.

My new born nephew Samson was the center of attention. A couple of days later I finally got to see a game in the Big Bash competition. My brother and I went to see the Sydney Sixers play the Melbourne Stars. The stars won. It was a great night out.

I had not been to the Sydney Cricket ground for a long time. On Sunday the 30th of December, I went to the Hillsong Church in Alexandria. The lady who preached the sermon was a visiting female pastor from Melbourne. She preached a good sermon and it was a good day.

On my last day in Sydney, i got to visit the Tesla showroom in Martin Place. They has a Tesla Model 3 on display. I got to sit in it. I thought the driving position was a bit cramped though.

I had intended to return to Melbourne on Wednesday the 2nd of January but for various reason, i came back on the 1st of January. All in all, it was a good, if brief holiday.

Melbourne Motorcycle expo 2018

Today, i traveled down to Melbourne to attend the Melbourne Motorcycle expo. This event occurs every two years. There were a number of motorcycle brands on display as well as various other exhibitors selling various items. I was hoping to see SWM Motorcycles, but they were not there. An odd thing happened. As I was sitting on the KLR 650, some chap came up to me and said that "this is your bike...". I thoroughly agree.

`Today, i traveled down to Melbourne to see the Melbourne Photo show at Michael's Camera House in Melbourne. They were displaying lots of new camera technologies and having presentations by guest speakers. I attended lectures by Claire Emmanuel, who is notable for her photographs of horses,

This technology is so exciting.

Visit to Echuca on grand final eve

Today is grand final eve in Victoria. It is a public holiday. I decided that I would pay a visit to the northern Victoria Port of Echuca as a way of spending the day. I has visited Echuca previously but this time I took the train up there. I took about an hour to get there and it was a pleasant train journey and a nice day.

Visit to the Rochester Silos.

This afternoon, along with some friends from Connect Church, I paid a visit to the town of Rochester, which is just north of Bendigo. We drove up in an old Rolls Royce! After lunch at Kits Cafe, which we have preciously visited, we saw the artwork on the local silos, which is quite spectacular.
