Australia Day 26th of January 2007

Here are some pictures from our first Australia Day living in Kirribilli. All the pictures were taken from my sun room. We obviously had a great view of all the activities out on the harbour. Even when I pulled the blind back at 9am I was greeted with the sight of two hundred people paddling across the harbour on surfboards!


Above are the surfers dodging sharks as they cross the harbour


A couple of stragglers in the tall ships race.Here he's been caught red handed but even at the time I knew it wasn't actually the dolphin waving at me
His and hers matching flags



This boat's owned by Kerry Packer I'm told
Above are the cast and crew of Priscilla Queen of the desert!
Here's Kirby and Carol catching up. Carol had popped over to Australia for a couple of weeks holiday. I see her more often than my family!

Twenty Twenty at the SCG - 9th of Jan 2007

Poms v Aussies. One of my favorite sporting venues in the world. I nice summers evening. Surely all the ingrediants for a great evenings entertainment. Well not for me! Anyone who may have seen me there will know that I couldn't have taken these photo's.... Because of the Sydney Cricket Grounds strict policy on pommy tourists they only sold wine and low alcohol beer at the ground. I was wise to this though as I had been to the third day of the test a few weeks back. I therefore decided to get my six hours of alcohol in during the hour and a half we spent in the pub prior to the game. At the game I decided to forget about that low alcohol beer stuff and go straight for the white wine. No one really knows what happened after that. Half time was the last time I was spotted. I missed work through hangover the following day was coered in cuts and bruses. No idea why I'm documenting such a sorry episode on here but there we go!
