These pictures have been roughly sorted as: a) general views of the area (i.e. some touristy stuff), b) general socialising, c) a fishing trip, d) a wine-tasting horse-trail, e) some preparations for the wedding. The ‘x’ files are a few shots of our ‘suite’ on the ‘5 star’ Moonah Links resort. Although the coffee table was cleaned the day after we wrote in the dust, as far as we know, the cobwebs are still there.

The ceremony was held at Ashcombe Maze on the Mornington Peninsula, and then the reception was held at the Moonah Links golf course, also on the peninsula.

These pictures have also been sorted: a) Ayer’s Rock (Uluru), as seen from our bedroom, b) other views of Uluru from the desert, c) the ‘Sounds Of Silence’ dinner, d) Kata Tjuta, the other big rock which, from some angles, looks like Homer Simpson lying down, and e) a few shots from the resort, which, in reality, was little more than a transit camp for people like us to fly in, look at the rock(s), and fly out again. There’s nothing else there.
