Lake Cathie, Australia

Just over a week to go before the next big trip to … China. I have wanted to visit the Middle Kingdom for over 40 years! Ever since we studied Monsoon Asian Landscapes in year 8 geography. The terraced rice fields and Great Wall, both stretching on for what looked like forever in the National Geographic magazine intrigued me…it’s been a long time coming…but we’re nearly there…can’t wait.
