I awoke to the terrible sounds of the road outside my house being dug up.

On Valentines Day we went to Oriental Expressions in Wollongong and saw a sign at the door which advertised their upcoming Chinese New Year Lion Dance on February 18th. We went back and enjoyed a platter of chinese new year entree dishes with a fantastic lion dance and martial arts exhibition by Southern Crane Martial Arts (Beaton Park, Gwnneville based). Here are but a few of the many photos taken with my new Fujifilm Finepix s9600 (s9100 in the USA) camera which I purchased on February 16th.

I downloaded Adobe LightRoom from adobe.com and played around with the settings.

What to do when your computer dies? Buy yourself a new one and then follow it up with a digital camera - introducing my new FujiFinepix s9600 camera. I tested it out at Wisemans Park Bowling Club last Friday and chair-danced to the smooth stylings of Acousticats.
