On the way to Parkes . . .

Parkes has one of the biggest radio telescopes in the world--known as "the dish".

We drove through a swarm of locusts, and our car paid the price.

Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld, VIC, a small town at the foot of the Grampian Mountains. A pub turned into an upscale restaurant, focused on seasonal ingredients and serving a 10 course degustation menu. We went for our first year anniversary on the way to Parkes. I had been looking forward to it for months . . . . . got a migraine and had to go to bed after 2 courses . . .WAH!
