I like to get away from computers. Just occasionally. I so enjoy the raw beauty of nature. The biting cold of the wind. The slippery ice underfoot. The crisp white snow. Its all very uplifting. 

It might be the dead of Winter, but there is a lot to enjoy about living in Healesville. Whilst strolling about the township today as the pizza is being cooked, this lovely rainbow thrilled all who beheld its temporary life. 

I just checked out the NBN rollout website and the closest for those of us in Healesville that the NBN has been rolled out is Chirnside Park. Looks like its going to take a few more years before we see it out here in the Yarra Valley. Im sure it will be worth the wait. Below is a segment from the morning TV show Sunrise about the NBN. Worth a look.

Ive been wanting to check out this part of the world for some time. Its just lucky I have some very close friends down here, and they are for happy for me to stay with them whilst I explore the famous back beach. So I've been setting my camera up on its tripod and taking these "still" videos. I must come back on a day when there is a clear blue sky. Having said that today was successful and the colours in the sky and sea were wonderful to behold.
