Hoping you have a Merry Xmas and a fantastic New Year

There are some really cute reindeer paper chains on the tree, that I purchased from Phoenix Trading this year. Merry Xmas

Pinnacle Valley Resort Merrijig, fantastic place to stay

We stayed at Pinnacle Valley Resort for 2 nights for Xmas 2010. It wasn't long enough, there is a fantastic salt water pool, tennis courts, 18 hole mini golf course. We didn't have time to go on the row boats or fish in the lake, or go on a trail ride on horses. Beware it is all set on a wonderful mountainside. As we live in a very flat town, it was a novelty for about 5 mins.But spectacular views of Mt Buller and Mt Stirling. It is about 20 kms below Mt Buller . See website Pinnacle Valley Resort.

Most of Australia has been in drought for the last 10 years, and during 2010 the Eildon Weir has become over 60% full compared to 17% during 2009. This photo shows the water nearly up to the railway bridge, highest it has been since 2001.This area has had no water in it for years.

Great book, that explores the affects children with autism can have on the family and also the affect the way a family interacts and how it can affect the child with autism.

Sad book, the book was way better than the movie. The movie didnt have near as much detail about the character or the story plot as the book contained.

The Swan Thieves
