Nikki & Ben- the next chapter in Australia

It was sometime in June 2001 when Nikki met Ben. It was across the road at the "Walkabout" Pub in Newquay, Cornwall. England. They had had a few snakebites and realized that Ben lived across the Rd. too. He was on the 3rd floor of the Hostel and Nikki was on the 2nd. Since then they have travelled around the UK, Europe, and lived in Canada, Australia and NZ. Now after nearly 11 years together they are two months away from making the ultimate commitment, marriage!

Clutha River Adventures & Camping at Shovel Flat and Nikki is now an Aunt!!

Just before you enjoy some of our latest adventures. I just wanted to say Congats to my twin Mike & his wife Christie on the safe arrival of Brynn Petra Harvie Barnes. They are beginning the adventure of parenthood! I am so excited to be an Aunt! Photos are available on facebook. If you aren't on Facebook then you will just have to wait!

On the way in.
The weather was variable.

The huge waterfall near our campsite. This waterfall had no name.

Our campsite. After setting up the tent in the rain. Ben had thought it was a great site because it was protected by all of those huge boulders. Then he thought..
wait a minute...where did all those huge boulders come from?" As he looked up at the huge waterfall. Nikki wouldn't sleep a wink.
