You might recall that Tony sent an article about his son Ben flying ARH Tigers off the HMAS Canberra.  Here is the latest update on the exercises with Japan and the US​.  Over the past week Australia, Japan and the US have been conducting a trilateral passage in the Philippine Sea on the way to participate in Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) in Hawaii. An Australian Defence Force (ADF) Joint Task Group has joined the USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group, which includes the United States Navy’s guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam and guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force’s Akizuki-class destroyer JS Teruzuki.
Here are some impressive photos

Another memory of 5 years ago was the days spent in Venice.  This was one of our favourite world locations ... very vibrant, hot, humid and special sights around every corner or in every canal.
​One of the highlights was the art on display in the Institute of Art Sciences.  
...and what has 2020 brought to this global city?
Enjoy.​

As we face another 40 days of lockdown here in Victoria and a prospect of restricted travel outside the state for some period of time I believe that the travel bug might be slightly satisfied by reminiscing over past travel.  While doing this I am gradually learning my new skills in making short videos.
I hope you enjoy Episode 1 as much as we enjoyed when we initially experienced it in July 2015. 
​How the world has changed since then!
