When you get a view like this an early start seems worthwhile.

Kangaroo Island Tourism Ad

The new Kangaroo Island television ad has a very catchy tune – but what is it? Well a little on and off Googling turns up the answer – Eddie Vedder’s Rise from the Into the Wild album. Looks like something to go on to my wish list.

CannibalRabbit Family at Lake Eildon 2011

After the Alexandra Show, where Monty got Best of Breed, we headed up to the Lake Eildon [^] dam wall at Eildon. After a wet year the lake is almost full, something that has only happened six times in the past 50 years [^].

Vivid Sydney

Sydney hosted the Vivid festival [^] from 27th May to 13th June 2011, “a festival of light music and ideas”.

Luckily it was on while we were in Sydney for Mrs CannibalRabbit and a friend to Mary Poppins the Musical. That gave me something to do while they were Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-ing and Chim-Chiminey-ing. That was a hike along the length of the Sydney CBD in the rain! But it was worth it.

One thing that would have been nice was a tripod, but we were travelling light – carry-on luggage only. With a bit improvisation I got some reasonable photos, most of them using the Sydney Harbour Bridge to lean the camera on. Circular Quay was just teeming with people, all trying to take photos so the extra height from the Bridge helped.

New Year Lightning

As I mentioned in my New Year post things got very soggy in Melbourne in the run up to the end of 2009. We were treated to another light show the following night. I then discovered just how hard it is to photograph lightning, especially when you forget the tripod!

The only saving grace was that we were at the farm, and there was plenty of open space. Even so, I still had some silhouetted trees for a little foreground interest but they are better than rooftops.
