Aussie Maria's Australia

Hi everyone
Something I was thinking and churning through my brain over the Christmas break was about having a regular post when I could not think of anything to say or nothing was going on.  I knew it had to be about Australia, especially with my blog name.  Even though the blog name came about for an entirely other reason - with a name like Maria and being dark-haired and skinned, I have repeatedly been asked if I was Italian or Maltese etc - so hence the blog name.

Well I love travelling and my country is fantastic!!!!  I thought that would give me something to write about.  Only do a little travelling now, but over time I have visited every state and territory in Australia -
except, Tasmania - and I so very much want to visit there.  Another one for my Bucket List.  Don't think it will be this year with DD3's wedding under 4 months away.

So I will show you the places I visit now and the places I have visited in the past, so some of the photos may have a distinct retro look   :-)

I have shown you some photos of last years visit to Western Australia, including Perth and Broome.  Now for todays photo ..........

Right in between Xmas and New Year I have a birthday and this is how the morning looked

not typical Australian summer weather

  Hubby organised for us to have a lovely meal and show on Darling Harbour Showboat Cruise

and this is how the daylight hours ended on the showboat

My photos of the area at night did not turn out too well - Sorry  :-)

Bye for now
