Intro

Introduction
Our family has moved halfway around the world to Sydney Australia for me to crunch numbers in another hemisphere. This blog will document our travels and provide enough number crunching to satisfy your wildest dreams. It may even give you a feel for the authentic Aussie life, which consists of drinking Fosters all day and eat blooming onions at every meal (I have already offended my mates here with that comment). I named this blog Life on the penal colony because Australia was where convicts of the British Empire were sent during the late 18th and 19th centuries (History). They were critical in building up Sydney to what it is today (cheap labor). As you can see Sydney is a far cry from any remnant of colonial life, in 2009 Sydney was ranked as the 2nd most expense as well as rich city in the world ($$), it reminds me of Randolph County, NC in so many ways (now I have offended my mates at home). If there is anything you would like to see more of or any questions please let me know.

More Great Ocean Road Pics

Here are a few more pictures from the Great Ocean Road
This is called London Bridge, it used to be connected.




Beautiful countryside with the Pacific in the far background

The 12 apostles (now there are only 8 because of the other 4 fell into the ocean).


Another picture of the 12 apostles




Koalas in the trees as we drove along.

Sunset over the mountains
