Australia in pictures

It has been a thoroughly awesome couple of weeks in Australia, and I am in such a deep chill here that it is hard to imagine returning to to the work and craziness of Cairo. What have I been doing all this time? I'll let my shiny new Nikon D40 do the talking: ladies and gentlemen, a fortnight of Australian sweetness in pictures:
I've been:
Spending about six hours a day at wonderful Port Willunga beach. I'd forgotten how Mediterranean and azure'ish it was.
Soaking up as much of my beautiful backyard as possible
With the soaking done via barbeques, of course....
Remembering how frigging beautiful my home town of Willunga really is....
Eating like a fine gourmet demon (pictured: Pheasant and Porcini mushroom terrine at the Pheasant Farm in the gorgeous Barossa Valley)
Tasting many a fine wine in aforementioned Barossa Valley - this glass at the beautiful Yalumba estate
Making sure that former teammate and current Sydney resident Sveta enjoys her first (and probably only) time in South Australia. It was an awesome week Sveta!
And last, but certainly not least, appreciating the styling black swans of Adelaide...

Shantanu is trying to reach you - I called your Aussie mobile today but I couldn't get an answer - can you email him?
Thanks!
