Thanks John,Alex and Darb, yes it was a nice trip. Well we have just got our power back on as there was a car prang and took out a power pole so back in action again. Yes darb pitty it wasnt a bit better might have entered it in comp.LOL

The whales was good but they was just playing and wouldn't stick too much out of the water. Good few days though and got to the rocks and ruble a bit late in the afternoon so sun was in the wrong place and came across a few other D70 users there 1 a canadian who i sugested this site to have alook when they finish holidaying.
Cheers
John

Hi John,

Good to see you got back safley. I got a few shots up at the Cape Nelson lighthouse before I started the drive home. I ended up driving 10hrs for a 3hr business meeting but well worth it. Next time I'll book a motel room, take my time back up the Great Ocean Rd and take a few more pics.

Thanks Darryl and yes it is in Portland, we stayed with friends there for a couple of nites and stayed in Warnambool a nite.

Mark we ended up going to to the Apostles for a look and some pics so yeh sounds like you a lot more from when we spoke on the phone, that happens when you have a camera get side tracked.

Ok well still having computer probs so time to format back in a few hiurs if all goes well.
Cheers
John

I sure as hell hope you've held something back for the comp cos like Darb says that first surf shot would be a fine candidate.

Nice pix John.

Just been thru the reformatting process myself - it sure chews up some time.

I recall you have been to the Twelve Apostles before - was there a big visual impact with the loss of one of them?
