Fairlady Media Devs Return From Australia!

Posted on August 19, 2010 in

One of the goals in starting this business was that we’d be able to use some of the revenue to travel and learn more about the world. So, in May we took Fairlady Media “down unda” on a 3 month Australian adventure. Our journey took our US-based company from North Carolina to California to Melbourne, Australia.

From there, we traveled west to Warrnambool, where we drove the scenic Ocean Road with beautiful cliffs and stunning vistas back toward Melbourne.

Continuing up the east coast of Australia, we took the Princes Highway to Sydney and Brisbane. We stayed in Beerwah, a small town outside of Brisbane, for 6 weeks and focused almost exclusively on Fairlady Media projects (rather than sight-seeing!). We developed several new games which will be available on the App Store very soon… 1) a fun candy-themed iPhone game for children, 2) a children’s counting game for iPad, and 3) a spooky ghost game for the rest of us “big kids”. We also completed several contracted games and apps (developed by us and released by other companies). After a visit to the Australia Zoo (crocs! kangaroos! koalas!), we headed northward to Cairns, which is a tropical paradise of sailing, jungles, and reef adventures.

The last part of our journey took us to Uluru, which is the giant red rock mountain in the central desert part of Australia.

Then it was Sydney, Los Angeles, and home to good ol’ North Carolina. Wow, it was an amazing adventure, and we feel so enriched by the experience. Hm, maybe we should develop a kangaroo game next…
