Can life get any better for this distinguished gentleman? Max the Staffy loves travelling with us, particularly when he rides in the ute. Donning his sports jacket and ready for what lies ahead, Max the Staffy is our occasional travelling companion - we love him dearly.
Max the Staffy doesn't mind if it's winter or summer, today it's time for a swim in the creek! Deep Creek at Carisbrook is where I spent many days in my youth. The long summer holidays consisted of swimming and playing with my friends and brother Paul. I loved it.
My oldest and dearest friend Leanne and I spent a very pleasant week-long holiday in the delightful seaside town of Port Fairy. With a very modest population of around 2,600 locals, the town provides peace and tranquility for when you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
