    This is bloody amazing news!!!! Congratulations to you and the lucky Rach.

    Funny world, hearing about your engagement through your blog.

    Where are you going to get married?
    T.

    hey T, I thought I SMS'd you... obviously not (sorry).

    I was quite adamant that I announce to friends via more 'intimate' methods rather than through the 'interweb'. Doesn't feel right that you should discover this news here. It wasn't until Rach updated here Facebook profile that I felt I had to follow and update my profiles; blog, twitter, facebook etc.

    Not sure about location yet. I'm just keen to have everyone I care about there, so either a wedding in AU then a party in UK.. or perhaps something in the middle; i.e. Thailand, Bali. I'll of course let you know. Trust all is well with you.. Happy new year. B

    Congratulations :)

    I just found your post via a twitter search for 'Fraser Island'.
    I thought you may appreciate some panoramic virtual tours of the place you popped the big Q

    Lake Birrabeen:

    And some iconic panos from all over Fraser

    much appreciated... Have you been to Birrabeen? It's out of this world, water you can drink. Thanks again.
  • Aaron Spence · 11 months ago
    Certainly have, I shot some of the panos in my sites listed above. I agree with you... Birrabeen & McKenzie are just incredible.

    I recall when I was swimming there last (Feb 2008) with the photography crew how it was so surreal to be swimming over white sandy beaches in fresh water. Would LOVE to go back right now.

    cheers Ben, congrats to you too...

    have you bought 'the ring' yet? I went through the education process this Saturday - scary stuff... the budget I thought I'd set has already been expanded some what...

    all the best...
