I don’t want to spoil it all by giving you bits and pieces, so wait until my next post on Cairns and hopefully you will see a bit of what I saw captured with my lens… until then, here is a little teaser.

Happy Tails Day – RSPCA

Derriere to be different and parade your posterior with pride!

As you can tell this is not a very ‘original’ post but need I say more how we need to be mindful of sharing our planet with other living beings. Statistics show that each year the RSPCA in Australia alone accepts about 135,000 animals from the local community and investigates more than 46,000 complaints of animal cruelty and neglect. Pass it on to your friends or help donate and raise awareness. Please help Protect animals from cruelty.

Goodmorning Baltimore

Goodmorning BaltimoreNikki Blonsky will win your heart no matter what!! Zac Efron plays Link Larkin but his character is pretty pedestrian. Its Nikky you’ll love all the way and of course Michelle Pfeiffers very scheming role Velma. Oh Elijah Kelly does need a mention he is quite an adorable character too along side a slightly subdued role of Queen Latifah. You cannot not love this movie. With cute little phrases like “stricky chicken”, “once you’ve chocolate you never go back”… oh you just cannot love this movie enough. I had mixed feeling going in for this movie as I have seen the original Hairspray and thats just brilliant. But the young hearted Hairspray lived up to my expectations too. Class act. Don’t miss it for the world. Movie like these are rare. Another 8.5 on 10 from me. There is more.

Cairns – Tropical North Queensland

Cairns    Tropical North Queensland Not long to go now before we head off to Cairns. We are all very excited about our upcoming trip. We did have the luxury of visiting Sunshine Coast, Queensland earlier this year in February even though it was a short holiday. Holidays are never long enough are they? It was a lovely few days of soaking up all the decadence we could at the lovely sun drenched beaches of Noosa and picturesque hinterlands of Maleny and Glass House Mountains. Queensland is beautiful. Fascinating! Stunning! No wonder they say “its beautiful one day and perfect the next“.

New South Wales is lovely but Queensland is just stunning. It really is… and now you know why I just cant wait to get on that plane and be in that beautiful paradise state of Queensland yet again. And in the company of loved ones its heaven on earth.

The Bourne Ultimatum

The Bourne UltimatumBrilliantly crafted. Astutely mastered story. A sequence of heart throbbing action. Exhilarating! A masterpiece sequel and supersedes its predecessors Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy. I was totally thrilled right through the entire movie and if you ask me it puts James Bond movies to shame. Hands down!!

The film continues the long saga of Jason Bournes survival of the car chase in Moscow, Russia, and follows the character as he travels to Paris, London, Madrid, Tangier(Morocco) and New York City to uncover his real identity, while the members of the very bureaucratic CIA continues to send assassins after him Bourne Ultimatum is all about Jason Bourne a.k.a. David Webb’s aka Matt Damon home coming where all of his life as Bourne began… its been a while I have thoroughly enjoyed a movie so much. I’ve to say I’d gladly give Bourne Ultimatum 8.5 stars out of 10. This probably will stand out to be one of the best movies of 2007, and here is one more reason why:

The film was released on August 16, 2007, in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Singapore.

By the end of August 2007, the film was said to be on track to exceed the international box office gross of the first two films in the trilogy.

Californication

Hank MoodyIf you have watched the series you’d probably be able to guess what I’m about to write here but if you haven’t… its definitely worth watching.

The all new series called Californication is what I ‘m talking about! As of September 2007 this is possibly the most controversial TV series in Australia and there is a big push to axe the show. Its rather realistic in some ways and can be quite in the face and seemingly bold and disturbing for the religious minded as Californication is racy, raunchy and uncut right down to the core. Who doesn’t love a realistic controversial show? Except that this in some ways pushes the boundaries of regular TV. And it certainly did push the buttons for a religious group that led a candle light vigil with 40 parishoners outside Channel Ten’s Sydney studio during last Monday’s episode.
