Sorry but I didn’t have a good time on the “Vagabond” and I don’t feel predisposed to help them out. Here’s a link for other people who are reading this and want ot know what I’m talking about.

By the way, if you’re going to use shots with people in them, for commercial puposes, you will need to have model releases. None of the images on this site have been “model realeased” so they can’t be used for your purposes any way.

I dont know if you can help my but I would dearly love to get your permission to use copies of the photographs that you took whilst you and your wife were out on the Vagabond Sailing Tour in Cairns for our website (which is currently being rebuit): http://www.cairnsvisitorcentre.com In keeping with the look and feel of our website I guess I would want them without the print added. We sell tours and we have favoured booking the Vagabond for may years but I can’t seem to access any quality images fromVagabond (such as yours) in order to promote their tour. At the end of the day on completion of our website I would be happy to add a link to website in favour,

Any assistance that you can offer will be much appreciated

Kind regards

I think that it’s part of the human condition to feel “that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence”. Many Australians long for a sense of belonging to an older culture that they can call their own, and for that reason many go to Europe and in particular, England.

Thanks for dropping by. I love train travel and one of my regrets about my recent trip to Europe was that we hired a car and didn’t need to travel by train. I would’ve loved to have gone on one of those fast trains you have over there.

If you ever come over here you will find things very different, but then again, I guess that’s why we travel, to see different things. I think for a European, what Australia has to offer is wide open spaces without signs of much civilisation. Our trains aren’t very modern but again that one of their charms.

I don’t know if you know this, but in your profile (it’s the place where you put the little picture of yourself that shows up in the comment that you make) you can put in your own blog’s URL so when you leave a comment, it will auotmatically link back to your blog so people like me can look at your blog.

I’m always interested in seeing the blogs of people who come to my blog.

Thanks for dropping by. Do you have a blog?
