Last January we were up in Merimbula keeping an eye on the local bushfires, this year we were still keeping tabs on the bushfires, but this time from the other side of the world in sub-zero temperature in Southern Maryland.
This photo was taken up in Merimbula, NSW on January 27 2013, and I was my entry in the Best of 2013 on DPChallenge.
This photo was taken for the 30 Seconds or More II Challenge over on dpchallenge.com and finished a respectable 9th (of 63). So, when #RoCur curator, Sarah @Stokely, put out a call for a photo of Melbourne for a blog for the @WeMelbourne, I was more than happy to offer it up… the least I could do to repay her for the honour it was being allowed to tweet under the @WeMelbourne handle for a week back in April.
Note: having a look at the image on my computer (as opposed to my phone), I really need to give Sarah a larger version of the photo.
Have been tweeting on @WeMelbourne about blogging all night and my site hasn’t been updated since December… how embarrassing. That’s going to change… yes with this post but also from now on… more blogging… YES, I KNOW… I’ve said that before and failed. It’ll be different this time… I hope.
So, anyway… this is one of my all-to-common “Claytons” blog posts. But at least it gets 2013 on the calendar.
This photo was taken back in January, when the clan went to Merimbula for 10 days. Beautiful part of the country.
Given it’s 1.40am, I think I’ll leave it at that.

Or close enough to…
Despite having lived in Victoria for my entire life, I had never been to see the most visited local tourist attraction, The Twelve Apostles… I’d not been beyond Apollo Bay. That changed last week when we ventured out to Port Campbell with the clan… and I must say, it was every bit as beautiful as I’d been told, and I have no doubt I’ll be returning to this part of Victoria to take many, many more photos.
It’s been a long time since I publicly tipped on A-League, and am going to try my hand today at this weeks opening round of Season 8.
Despite the coaching changes since last season seeming to suggest this should be a win for the blue side of Melbourne, I’m going to tip with my heart and say the Heart will beat Victory tonight.
Wellington will spoil Del Piero’s welcome to the A-League, but defeating Sydney.
Glory will take out their revenge on the Roar.
Central Coast will be too strong for the Wanderers.
Heskey will impress for Newcastle as they teach Adelaide a thing or two… no mercy will be shown the already depressed Reds, coming off their aggregate loss in their Asian Championship League efforts.
So… they’re my tips for this weekend. If they’re any good, I might do this again.
