Date
- 5 May 2005 through (tbd) June 2005!
This trip
started with Eddie on a three and a half week TDY assignment to Alice
Springs. The first thing you have to get used to is the fact that Australia
is NOT an island, it's one big-ass continent, the size of the U.S. Alice
Springs is located in the dead center of the continent known as The
Outback. It is a desolate, sun-baked, dry region that extends for hundreds
of miles in all directions. The second thing for me to get used to was
the fact that they make the worst coffee I have ever tasted!!!! The
coffee I got out of the coffee machine on base was the best coffee I
ever found in Alice Springs!!!
After
the TDY assignment, Eddie flew to Sydney where he met up with Sheena
for a week and a half vacation in Sydney and the Hunter Valley wine
region. Hope you enjoy our photos.
Cheers,
Eddie and Sheena
