Hey Just thought I'd drop a note here and say we're in Victoria ATM in Hamilton to be precise on our way to the Grampains. Our trip has been something like

2 days in Sydney
4 days in Queensland (Port Douglas/Daintree/Diving GBR)
1 day in Melbourne (saw Ned Kelly's armor...fricken awesome)
2 days Yarra River Valley
2 days Coast Road

We're hoping to do spend a couple of days in the Grampains so if theres something we shouldn't miss let me know. Then we gotta head back to Melbourne for our flight to NZ.

Yup it's been a great trip so far. Right now we're in a hotel with free wifi near the Melbourne airport. Tomorrow morn at 6:00AM we fly out of Aus to New Zealand. I'll try to post some pics but, since I'm shotting in RAW each pic is like 15MB....

Any suggestions for New Zealand.... Looks like we fly into Auckland and head south....

Visit the WETA workshop? See if Hobbiton exists?

Now for the serious suggestion. I hear Champagne Pool is supposed to be awesome. Maybe head to Christchurch too?

Hmm I'll look into the Champagne Pool. We only have a week so we'll prolly not get to the south Island. As for Weta I have an inside connection at Weta Digital. They're a customer of my company and I've emailed them and they're going to give us a tour of they're super high tech Data Center (as long as we make it to Wellington before the weekend).

To bad. The South island has the Southern Alps.

Keep an eye out; maybe someone left some renders of Smaug sitting around.
