Trip to Australia Special: A good watch, decent walking shoes and clear blue skies

Going O.S. (that's Aussie talk for 'overseas') requires you to pilot your rented car with some confidence and style. An Omega Seamaster 300 circa 1965 on a NATO type strap did just fine. Another one of that 'One Good Watch' that everyone should have.

And if you're going on holiday one should wear a decent pair of shoes. You may drive, but you will also walk a whole lot. From one tourist locale to another, from one shop to another, from one amusement park ride to another. The little gal is wearing canvas Keds in checkered pink, the Malaysian man (namely, yours truly) is wearing chocolate brown leather wingtip sneakers - Portugese made shoes marked DeMiguel and the missus, multi-coloured Bimba & Lola.


Blue skies. Clear blue skies. This is something we do not get here in the Klang Valley, Malaysia at the moment as it seems the bushfires over in Sumatra, Indonesia has caused smog. Shitty. Really shitty And quite unlike the scenic lighthouse over at Byron Bay, New South Wales that I frequented very recently. Sigh. Quite a climb for a lazy boy like me, quite a climb.
