26th January 2010 - Australia Day
Our first land based Australia Day's. Previously we have travelled up the Swan River on David & Wendy's boat |
These people are about to be made Australian citizens at the Fremantle ceremony in the park. |
We had a couple of beers in Creatures (to celebrate the day) |
Biplanes overhead |
We joined Wendy, David, Doug & Jean at the Sailing Club for a BBQ |
Oh dear...Laurie's a happy chappie |
David's catching up!
|
Laurie's found a new friend to BBQ with (no idea who he is...a complete stranger! ...but he was from Yorkshire) |
Our steaks were cooked to perfection by the Dynamic Trio |
|
Fremantle put on it's own firework display ('Cracker Night'), and they were very good. |
| |
Laurie's found some more strangers friends, this time from The Wirral | 27th January
Breakfast next morning was 'delicate' |
we force-fed David Marmite |
Vowing to only drink water, we celebrated Jade's birthday at Mount Lawley. Christian & Jade
|
Jade and her friends Jenny & Gemma |
Christian's mum & dad...Bruce & Dina |
Russell had a good Australia Day too! |
Janine & Andy |

Chris has hurt his back, Pam and Edna are away east partying so we dognap Nero and take him to the dog beach |

Having seen the ill-fated Ady Gill in Hobart, we see the Steve Irwin in dock for resupply before heading back into the Antarctic and the Japanese whaling fleet. |

No, Laurie isn't quite needing this yet. We need to make space for Grant & Mandy's car |

a few bottles of wine down and a curry...we call for a beer at The Sail & Anchor. (it seemed like a good idea at the time!) | 31st January 2010
it didn't seem quite such a good idea the next morning...and it's Mandy's birthday! |
