More pix - but still lousy quality!
A Christchurch Christmas / Lake Takepau / me about to bungy jump in Queenstown
Me and Zoe in a blues bar / the car Zoe got for her father (just for a day, tho') / Me and Zoe at the beach in Coolangatta, near the border with NSW - you can imagine driving in that car along that scenery... why ain't transport always like that?
Me in Nimbin - all the houses were decorated like that - in fact, that's almost the whole village in this photo / Brisbane sunset - you can't see the bats overhead due to lousy scanner.. / windswept and interesting in Sydney
Full Moon Party, Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand
More full moon party..
Learning to scuba dive / Leonie Lir Linda / Krabi
More Krabi
Me rockclimbing in Krabi / Massage teacher Surin and my occasional victim Laura / Chiang Mai offering (pigs head in middle of table, and I think the gods got a bottle of fosters to wash it down)
Kate and me in her flat in sydney / me quadbiking / someone bungy jumping the ledge in queenstown (the double rainbow appeared just as I was doing my jump - I got to see shooting stars with it too!)
