| EVERYDAY LIFE IN YAMBA Australia, Yamba - January - May 2011 |

The first months of 2011 Empire was mostly tied to the pier in Yamba, with exception for a couple of tours out on the river - in addition to the BIG trip the 4. of March. Eirik and the Captain also travelled to New Zealand by air to say hello to friends and to renew the permit to stay in Australia. |
