Biggest...jellyfish...ever

I snuck out of work a little early the other day for a late afternoon dive at Bare Island. On the way back, we ran into the biggest jellyfish ever (more pictures). This thing is so big it literally has its own ecosystem (a swarm of fish live in its guts). I mentioned it to the local divers and Bjorn Landfeldt dug up the picture at the top of this post (taken by him in 2005). It seems to be related to the Lion's Mane Jellyfish.

New Camera

Pat and I bought the Olympus e520 on Friday so we played tourist all weekend. A few shots from around Sydney...

The Apartment

Finally got around to taking pictures of the apartment. Ok, finally got it clean enough to take pictures.

Here is the tour......


The Bedroom - look to the left to see the original T&P designed side table. It also doubles as a storage chest.

The Kitchen - small but it has a gas stove.

The living room/dining room. This is the room that Tanya built. We bought all of our funiture from Ikea - I had no idea you could build a couch.

The bathroom - my favourite room. Separate shower and bath!

The ANZAC Bridge
