Here are some recent photos (apologies for not posting any for ages) of Christmas and the visit of John and Anita to Australia.

Lunch at the Grand View Hotel, Cleveland.

John was most impressed you could buy London Pride!

Anita proudly sports a Trade Union tee shirt, in the rainforest at Mount Glorious.

Santa stopped in Northgate.

Santa's handiwork again.

Matthew survives a close caught behind appeal against a touring New Zealand side.

Eastern Bearded Dragons still thriving in the backyard.

Wombat with its young, which is known as a "Wom-bit", apparently.

Brisbane has a new tallest building: Aurora.
