Brisbane and Manly Austrailia.

As you all know we have been in Brisbane now for about a month if not more and I'm just getting around to posting pictures. We are enjoying our stay here in the land of OZ until we fly out to the states in Dec. We currently visiting a long the friend in Perth and will be doing a little traveling so I will post pictures of  our trip at a later date. Hope you enjoy the pictures of where we are  in the Brisbane area,

Noumea, New Caledonia.

These picture from Noumea, New Caledonia. We got a berth at the Port Moselle Marina. We were very impressed with Noumea. Being a french colony we didn't know to expect,but we found it very Pleasant and very friendly. Great food, wonderful baguettes and croissants. Who could ask for more. We did not tour any other islands. We stayed in Noumea and then decided to come straight to Brisbane, Aus. The land of OZ. These pictures are of Noumea. I hope I don't bore you with so many pictures of Noumea
