Galvo's Life

Well guys a lot has happened we had a great time in Corryong, We swam in the Snowy River, Got the highest I've ever been on my glider just over 9ooo'

Had new years eve with a load of cowboys and generally just had fun.

Tumut campsite while we were waiting for mail turned out to be a highlight, And it was a great place for our mail to be held up....

We are now in Canberra and I have had 2 short flights and have been to the Zoo and National Gallery still heaps to see and do But that's for the next post. hope you enjoy some of my pics i even braved letting go of the controls to take some pics in the air.

Well Guys I've been a bit slack and haven't done any work on my blog ,but in my defence I've been busy having fun.....

We are now in Apollo Bay ,well actually it's our last day here after 10 days of mixed weather.

We have had a day of 80km hr winds all day,or 42knots. But that day was warm, we have had rain but only light and we have had nice sunshine with a cold wind chill.

I have managed to log a few hours of flying which I have filmed some of so stay tuned to more boring air footage ,i will try and add some good chilled music so you can fall asleep easier :).

Xmas Day was fantastic great weather hell I even got wet up to my shorts teaching Emily to Surf (Vid to come) . After the pressie thing and a huge feed of pancakes and ice cream and chocolate almonds to many coffees I ran up the hill and had a great 1hr flight, back home for light rest a couple of ales then down to the beach for the surfing lessons.

The kids got spoilt as usual but it was so good to actually be home for Xmas as last year I was offshore getting ready for a cyclone, in fact it was this day(Boxing Day) I tore my tendons in my shoulder.

So it has been a whole year since I last worked.......fan bloody tastic!

OK Mt Gambier was our next spot after Tunkililla then onto Portland. Had a great bush camp there and did some mountain biking as there was a race track around our campsite, then it was a long drive to Apollo Bay where we have been based ever since.

We have been on some rain forest walks,Koala spotting,paragliding,fishing(no luck) and just relaxing.

A highlight has been the platypus that lives in the creek right in front of our tent as this is the first one we have ever seen and managed a couple of photos last night after trying all week., boy there weird.

I'm not looking forward to packing up and leaving but we must and am keen to get to the warm weather. So it's off to Torquay near Melbourne tomorrow and the rest of the Great Ocean Rd which is truly and awesome drive and scenery is well scenic.
