We have had such a great response, we have had to increase our bandwidth due to the enormous number of hits…over 35Gb in just over 2 weeks, with the site crashing at one point, for only half an hour thankfully!

We hope we got some great images of you all. We are busy getting all the on-site photos that have been ordered during the week organised and out the door and should be arriving later next week, although with the Easter Holidays, we have to allow a few extra days.

What a week at the Ulysses Mildura AGM

Our website will also soon have ‘all’ the photos up and ready for viewing via our www.photo-media .com.au website. You will be able to browse at your leisure and not suffer our ‘sauna’ marquee where some of you did endure wait times and the heat (sorry about that)…Mildura really did turn on some great weather so we can’t complain too much!

We will send out emails when our on-line galleries are up & running so stay tuned and stay safe on those roads!

Happy Travels, Evan

Coca-Cola Co and PepsiCo Inc are making changes to the production of this ingredient in their namesake colas to avoid the need to label the packages with a cancer warning.

The question is, when will Coke and Pepsi make these changes around the world, not just in California?

Photo Media Australia is very proud to be chosen as official photographers for this year’s Ulysses Club’s annual general meeting to be held this year in sunny Mildura between 26th March till 1st April 2012.

We will be offering a wide range of specialised photography including arrivals, tours, events, aerials and also location ‘studio’ style portraits of owners & their beloved bikes! It’s sure to be an awesome week and I’m sure Mildura will turn on a great time for everyone. Please contact us for any event details and check out the official site, here.

We will also have a large marquee set up on site where we will offer studio style photography on site! Just wheel your bike in and have that fantastic bike photo you’ve dreamed about. Photos can also include owners and don’t worry, we can ‘retouch’ them to make sure you look ‘fantastic’ too! Order any enlargements and we will post them to you or simply buy a disc with your images and print them when you get home.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Ulysses Club AGM right here in Mildura.

New homes, established homes are always changing owners and what better than some classy photos to show what’s on offer. We help Builders and Real Estate Agents show the best aspects of a home making their job a bit easier when it’s time to advertise.

Quick turn around and gorgeous homes!

Both are very cosmopolitan, have similar climates, have trolleys/trams but mostly they share that ‘culture’ thing; great architecture, a focus on the arts and I believe a tolerant, welcoming community. Even the homeless seem to take it in their stride and smile lots…well the one’s I saw anyway!

Sure, it’s certainly a tourist mecca but with good reason, with lots of interesting things to see & do and not necessarily the typical tourist fodder, although most ‘attractions’ make sure you are conveniently led through the gift shop to add to the endless trinkets, justifying your visit and to jog your memory long after you’re home.

My fav was Alcatraz. Starting with the short boat trip across the icy San Fran Bay with it’s rapids like current, you know it’s gunna be memorable. After spilling onto the dock amongst the next gaggle of happy-snappers and chaffing at the bit to go explore before enduring the mandatory, ‘Welcome to Alcatraz’ induction,  you are finally set free…well sort of.

The best way, and what I assume 99% do, is plonk on the headphones and follow the self guided, audio tour which is included in the admission. It really is well done and you come away with a great sense of what the “Rock” was all about; the day to day existence, the isolation, the harshness but mainly the coldness, physically & mentally of such an internment.

Funny, they had warm showers so the inmates didn’t get used to ‘cold’ water but it still didn’t deter 14 escape attempts with number 13 being the focus of the Sean Connery movie; it’s still debated if the three real escapees ‘made it’ or just drowned, never to be seen again.

My advice, make sure you check it out, …just don’t fall off the ferry!
