Visit to Zig Zag Railway

The last Sunday of January was spent at Zig Zag Railway at Clarence. Clarence is located approx 10km's out of Lithgow. This is something I had wanted to do for a few years now and I knew it would help in reliving childhood memories. I thoroughly enjoyed the day. I have taken a few photos which I will upload to Flickr shortly.

The steam train ride took us from Clarence station to Top Points Station, where the loco ran around the carriages and then from Top Points station down to Bottom Points station. Bottom Points Station is where the Zig Zag meets up with the main west line for CityRail services to Sydney and Lithgow.

After a short stop over there we headed back to Clarence. Once back at Clarence I got a lesson from the loco driver about the safeworking staff and ticket system used on the Zig Zag Railway. The Zig Zag railway is run and preserved by volunteers. It is a great day out.

And so I Begin...

Monday seen the beginning of a new chapter in my career at my employer. I have commenced working in my new position as a Driver Trainer/Test Crew on the Waratah Train Project. This is an exciting time and something that I have wanted to do since the project was announced a few years ago. I am currently undergoing training and learning all about the new trains, which means working day work. This is normally a bad thing for me as I am not a big fan, but so far it's not been to bad. I am very excited as to what the future hold for me in this position. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Favourite Photos - My Wedding by @DrueyJay

Even though my wedding was in March I will never grow tired of looking at my wedding photos. Recently one of my best friends Drue (who was one of my groomsmen) uploaded some photos that were taken using his camera on the day. Even though the professional shots were good, I think nothing beats the other angle. I think that is the right term to use. (please correct me if i am wrong) I refer to what is happening in this photo. Whilst we are looking towards the professional photographer a photo has been snapped to capture the moment from a different angle. The photo captures exactly the same things as the professional shot such as our smiles, background and the pose but how another person is seeing it. Thankyou so much to Drue for these photos and being a part of our special day.

iPad 2

Front of iPad 2 Back of iPad 2 Now I don't claim to be any tech expert but I thought I would share my story and opinion on the iPad2. Not owning the original iPad I only had a small idea of what to expect from playing with them at the apple store and seeing what others were using them for. So I took the plunge. I waited up until 1am on the 25th March to ensure that I had one secured through the online store. I had in the back of my mind that maybe JBHiFi or Dick Smith might have then on Launch day at 5pm. When I awoke on the 25th I rang Dick Smith and they said yes they will have them and will release them at 5pm, the same time as Apple. I was thinking should I or shouldn't I line up? As the day went on I said Yes I will line up. So unlike all those people who lined up for days in front of the apple store in Sydney for the iPad I waited only 2 hours with a Lemon Lime bitters slurpee in my hand from 7-11 and secured one once 5pm came around. I wasn't alone. 2 ...
