Yep, the other stuff place.  That isn't to say we don't like the stuff here, or think it is unimportant.

1. This is from Lismore, a northern NSW town, where we spent the first half of '98.   This photo was taken about 200m from our flat, outside the (conveniently located) local McDonalds.  Akiko likes the bush.  Apparently.
2. This is me hiking through rugged terrain to the NightCap Falls.  This is one of the few times we actually did some exercise in Lismore.
3. This was taken on the street just outside our Lismore flat, early one morning.

4. Ah yes.  The Opera House.  A prerequisite image for any Australian websites.
5. For contrast, a Japanese cultural photo - Akiko in a kimono.
6. Geelong Grammar - Akiko's old stamping ground.  Used to be a hotbed of racism.

7. The famous law court at Melbourne University - where we both did our tertiary studies.
8. A view looking south of the beach at Kingscliff, where we spent the last half of 1998 (while I was at a practice in Murwillumbah).  Beautiful beach, dolphins included.   Here's Akiko looking for shells.
9. A view of Kingscliff beach, looking north.  Akiko is actually in the foreground, but I messed up the exposure.  Pick her out if you can!

10. One of Akiko's porcelain paintings, depicting hydrageas clustered on a plate, as inspired by a cookie tin.

12. Another of Akiko's porcelain paintings, a portrait of a Victorian girl.

15. Finally, for your personal edification and intellectual enhancement, my infamous spoon trick.  (Wow!  What suction!  I bet he could pass the Godfrey's Bowling Ball test!)
