Tonight I celebrated the passing of yet another successful year in the life of Ben with of bunch of his mates at the Aspley Lonestar! Overcoming the short notice of the gathering and the ‘how-the-heck-do-I-get-there-with-those-directions’ issue, I still managed to turn up (within a reasonable timeframe) for a great dinner with some great people! Happy birthday Bender!

I spent this Saturday up in Brisbane as I was heading out to one of the best Indian restaurants in Brisbane (Punjabi Palace). The great Brisbane weather meant I could sleep in and yet still go for a ride just before lunch on a perfectly mild winter day. Though I was wishing during my 40km ride for some sort of Camelbak hydration system, the places in which I did stop to drink from my bottle of water gave some great photo moments. Brisbane has a pretty good bike way (despite a number of them simply being ‘quiet’ streets) and combined with the good weather makes it an awesome place to just go for a casual ride.

Perhaps I could have cycled further had I a road bike…

Check out some of the photos I took with my Canon Ixus II (highly recommended):
