FG Touring NSW Australia

Hi All,

I'm posing here overlooking the Capertee Valley which is either the largest enclosed valley in the world, the second largest in the world, or largest in the southern hemisphere.  Can't quite get a handle on that.  But it is huge!  The photographer didn't notice the rude graffiti until the picture came up on the computer!  B-O-L!!!!!

Cheers, FG

FG Celebrating Australia Day

Hi Everyone, It's Australia Day.  I spent the morning at the Official

Ceremony.  There was a Naturalisation Ceremony, Awards for various

Australians of the Year, music, sausage sizzle, cake cutting, and lots of

other activities.  It's supposed to reach 42 C (107 F), so we're celebrating

inside! Oh, just a bit of trivia.  The Coat of Arms has a kangaroo and and

emu because neither animal can go backwards.  They must go forward.  Also,

Australia is the only country that eats its National animals.  BOL! Cheers,

Flat George

From Gibraltar to Erbil, Iraq!!

Phfew! I just managed to escape the Apes of Gibraltar--thanks to George

the Lad's real life friends. George, you've got some great friends!

On from Gibraltar to Erbil, Iraq! Erbil is the fourth largest city in

Iraq, and the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan.

I went for a long walk on the outskirts of Erbil, viewing the

magnificent mountains and enjoying the clean air and sunshine. It was 45

(7) degrees today.

Can you see me camouflaged in the brush?

Then we went downtown and toured the Citadel. This site is the oldest

continuously inhabited town in the world. The Citadel was occupied is

5,000 BC, possibly earlier.

The Citadel is an occupied mound, in the historical heart of Erbil,

rising from the surrounding plain.

Finally, we stopped at a store there (you can see that it has a

website!). It sold rugs, scarves, books, and assorted old-looking stuff.

No old bones, though, I checked!

I'm not sure about my travel plans for tomorrow....But I'm sure that

wherever I end up, it will be exciting.

So long for now.

My Trip to Gibraltar!!!!

Come on come on, I'm packed and ready to go!

Hurry up ...Oi where are you?

I'm too young to travel alone.

You gotta be jokin!

Wow:-O, just look at the size of me bed!
 ...what do you mean "get down" ;-(

Look Mom,Dad and big Bro Simon ...

I've met someone, not sure when I'll be home .....or if!

'Oi' shouted George, who's the idiot who

tried to get me to pose with these blasted monkeys.

HELPPP!
and away he went:-(

Never mind taking fotos ...rescue me

Hey, who put the light out?

Oh well, I'm back on board the mechanical birdy thingy ready to fly home.
Bye bye Gib, I've really enjoyed my holiday here ... despite those peskey apes!

They didnt realise my guardians had brought a spare 'Flat George' with them when they made their escape with the 1st flat me!:-D

Flat George Visits Sulay: Day 2

Hello, again!

This is my second day in Sulaymaniyah, and my first day out and about.

We visited a lovely park, the Municipal Park, across the street from the University of Sulaymaniyah. Students like to visit and eat lunch here.

Then on to a.....three story shopping mall. I guess that just goes to show that they are everywhere! Here's a picture of me, and my traveling pack, waiting on a bench in the mall.

 Beside me is the small package of Cuban cigars my Traveling Companion was so excited to find. She explained to me that this particular cigar was "the most eagerly-awaited" among "the enthusiasts in the art of smoking." Then she told me I was too young for one, and she didn't really approve of them anyway.

That's when I smelled the Burger House, right across the way.

 But she nixed that too, as we were headed to the open bazaar.

We saw bags of dried grains and fruits,

and the most beautiful fresh fruits.

Finally, we headed back home, where I managed to grab one of those cigar things. Definitely not as good as a greenie, or an old bone. I was just sniffing, really.....

On to Erbil, Iraq tomorrow, perhaps by way of Gibralter....if those Gibralter monkeys don't get me.

Flat George Vists Sulaumaniyah Iraq Day 1

Hello, World,

It's me, Flat George, in the wilds of Kurdistan, in Sulaymaniyah,
Iraq--one of the 41 best places to visit in 2011, according to the New
York Times
(http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/travel/09where-to-go.html)!

I flew here from the American Embassy, in Baghdad. It was a long, tiring
trip, but now I'm here and ready to explore!

The city has a semi-arid climate with very hot and dry summers and very
cold winters. You can see some of the surrounding mountain ranges, as
well as the city itself, with a population of almost 800,000.

The city has several museums and many historic sites, which I might be able to
visit. There is even a MaDonals (with the golden arches), but I've heard
"it's not the real thing"--which is probably a good!

 I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night at a real restaurant!

More later, when I get up from my nap.
