This map shows just a little of where we've been in Australia & New Zealand.
I have documented family & friends' events with births, deaths & birthdays, concerts (Status Quo & Deep Purple), engagements, reunions, work and Christmas Parties, social events, bushwalks, floods (Rockhampton 2008) and cyclones (Marcia which hit Rockhampton in 2015).
I have about 40 draft post that I'm working on, and there's plenty more travels coming. I'm also working on fixing up the photos in some posts that have disappeared. So, there's more to come.
The 20 graphic was created by AI - Microsoft Co-pilot, the map is from my Google timeline.
