Goldrush!
Posted by: Rob Nicholls Thursday 1st May 2008 at 0:35 GMT

Last week, on St George’s Day, it was our 3rd wedding anniversary. We take turns each year is organising something to do for the event - for our 1st anniversary we went to a really nice Japanese restaurant in Melbourne during a brief trip to Australia, and last year we made a trip to Brussels in Belgium.  This year it was my turn again to organise something.

Finding a good curry in Australia is not an easy thing - good Indian restaurants are few and far between.  I think the only decent one I’ve had was 2 years ago in Glebe (Sydney). So the first thing we did over the weekend was try out the local Indian restaurant on Friday night.  It was ok - not bad, but not fantastic.  Good enough to consider going back, but probably not have their rather fatty chicken in a curry again.

Then on Saturday morning we headed out and drove for a couple of hours to Ballarat.  Known from the goldrush days, in Ballarat they have a mock goldrush township called Sovereign Hill.  I’d booked a package that included an overnight stay, day entry to Sovereign Hill (both days), and dinner followed by their ”Blood on the Southern Cross” sound & light show.  We had a good time there, and of course took a number of photos!

Baby Updates
Posted by: Rob Nicholls Saturday 19th April 2008 at 12:22 GMT

We have now put together a new website in which we will post photos & news about upcoming Baby Nicholls! At the moment, there are some screenshots from the recent ultrasound on the website.

If we have news of a more personal nature than the kind of things we post on this website, then we will post that on the new website! Please note that due to containing more personal stuff, including photos of the baby when it arrives, you will need to sign up for your own user account.

The new website will be the ONLY place online where photos of the child will be posted - so please don’t expect many on this website or any at all elsewhere such as facebook as it’s not gonna happen! This website will continue as normal, and include general news, updates etc.

If you would like the address for our new website, leave a comment on this page and we’ll email it to you!

Mornington Drive
Posted by: Rob Nicholls Monday 31st March 2008 at 5:14 GMT

A few weeks ago there was a public holiday (Labour Day) in the state of Victoria, so Dawn & I decided to go have a drive somewhere!

It was a hot day in Melbourne, and as we drove down the Mornington Peninsula this was obvious by how busy some of the beaches were. We really just drove down the Peninsula for the views, not to be beach bums!! Here are some photos from the day:
