It had been a long hard-working project, 18 years in the making for 40-year old Martin Lenegan, a widower at the young age of 32 with a young son Quinn who once old enough was sent away to the best schools in Europe. For Dr Martin Lenegan, an engineer of enormous potential, along with a team of scientists and engineering geniuses, and with the support of a huge anonymous benefactor, they were able to design and build the very first Deep Space Research and Exploration Shuttle - DSRES. Designed ve

When the countries on Earth are divided in so many ways, a huge private corporation plans and builds a deep space exploration vessel, to go way beyond the boundaries of our own solar system, with no certain outcome of if they would be returning or not... But by pure chance they come across a cargo vessel that has been damaged by fire, with all crew lost, which changes everything for the crew of 11, on board the very first Deep Space Research and Exploration Shuttle named "Star Voyager".

Once on board the trimaran, Last Frontier, I looked around and smiled. She was spotlessly clean, and all the crew appeared in their uniforms and stood at attention in a line, with Kirk and Leon joining the other crew members. “Ok, enough sucking up. Let’s get going. Head south for Fremantle please,” I said to the crew, and once the dinghy was secured we set off southwards with Toby at the helm. Knowing the crew were accommodated in the forward Pontoon cabins, I lead my brothers down to the

I could hear a lot of scratching noises in the nesting box, so I opened the lid and looked in. Emma was busy rearranging the grass hay. I retrieved the towels from the cardboard box and placed them in the nesting box, and Emma began to rearrange them as well. I closed the lid and pulled out the cardboard box. Leaving Emma to get settled into her new home, I went inside to check on the boys. Once the boys had put away some of their clothes and belongings, I suggested that we go into town to

“Anton Hamilton, stop that this minute,” I heard Anita shout to me. Ignoring her, I gave Micha another raspberry, and he laughed again as I carried him into the lounge, while Anita scolded me. “You are a bad influence on my youngest son, Mr Hamilton,” Anita said to me before turning her back to me and continuing her conversation with Jasper. Finding a picture book, I began to read a story to Micha. Once Anita and Jasper had finished their call, she sat down in the lounge. “Men! What am

After seeing all the activity, I headed into the centre of town to do some food shopping, as I was low on all supplies. I left Roey in the back area with a large container of water, while I was shopping. Back at the cottage I put away all the food and fed both of the animals before sitting down and relaxing. After having some lunch, I returned to the property to see the progress of work, and I was pleased to see that all of the stone wall was progressing very well, and most of the dirt had

I spent a few hours sailing today and it was bloody awesome... The yacht was a Beneteau 40 foot, and it was great to have the wind in my face as we sailed in the large harbour, with an average of 15 knot apparent winds. The Shipwreck in the background, in the first photo is the Cheyes II, one of the last Whaling ships in Australia.
