Abingdon Miniature Village

Out with the old and in with the new. Ever since we went to the Pinnacles back in September 2007 we've wondered if we should upgrade from a half decent digital compact to a D-SLR and the recent trip to Denmark, and Elephant Rocks in particular, has pushed us towards purchasing a semi-professional D-SLR to make the most of the time we have left in Australia.

The Canon EOS 40D looks really big in this picture but the photograph exaggerates the truth somewhat. It is still considerably bigger but not cumbersome, heavy or uncomfortable.



Abingdon Miniature Village, www.abingdonvillage.com.au 60 minutes South of Perth.

A proper English attraction with tea-room, gardens and all the trimmings. There were over 20 miniature buildings in total. While we were there we heard the voices of many visitors but they were all British. Must have been a real home-from-home as you don't see any old buildings in Perth.
