2010

I’ve been a fan of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright for as long as I can remember. It must have been Mum (and her building family’s) influence. Today I was able to continue this interest.

Early in 2007 I traveled to South Korea for a two-week work gig. Over the middle weekend I jumped on the train and headed south the Gyeongju, which was the ancient Silla capital for over a 1000 years (equivalent to Japan’s Kyoto). I took a lot of pictures over the weekend, but thought that I’d accidentally deleted them since. A few weeks ago my daughter’s screen saver was showing pics that were definitely from that trip; I’d uploaded the pics to my daughters account not mine. They weren’t lost! So here’s the story and some of the pics. All of the photo’s can be found here.

I have been meaning to research my family tree for as long as I can remember; conversations with distant aunts at family gatherings, traipsing around the Port Fairy cemetery after my grandmothers funeral, and the inquisitiveness of grandparents unknown. My father and his sister grew up wards of the state and for many years we believed their parents had died in a car accident, but there was little information known.

It’s been a long time since I last posted. All my free time was sucked up by a huge interstate project over late Oct – early Dec; gotta love those 18-hour days (see my post “Being Shafted by the Man” to read my whinge on working stupid hours)! So, now that I’ve had a chance to catch up on some photo uploads, it’s time to blog about our trip to Tassie in Oct 09.

My sister, Nina, announced early last year that she and Colin would get married in Oct 09 in Launceston. We decided to make a family trip out of it; loading up the car and taking the ferry down for ten days. The following post is a summary of the trip. All of the photo’s can be found in my Gallery.
