Hillary's Beach

Some snaps of the boys swimming in the sea at Hillary's Beach.

Start of Oz Summer Time

This was at Hillary's beach Harbour. We went for dinner about 6pm and then stayed to watch the fireworks. The palce was absolutely mobbed. People were there with their chairs, tables, gazebos etc. Some looked as if they were there for the night. Liam wasn't very keen. He was sick in the cafe where we were watching them from. I don't know if it was nerves, too much salt water from earlier in the day or too rich choc ice cream after dinner. But nevertheless he spent the entire fireworks with his hands over his ears and his head buried in Joe's chest.

Some more photos of the air race, and well I guess everyone found it an exhausting day!

Red Bull Air Race 2006

The Red Bull Air Race was a really good out. The race itself was over two hours and really quite exciting. It was amazing how low the planes actually went. We were sitting on the bank just back from the beach, and the kids and me had to stand on the railings to see some of the action. The bomber was shown on a big screen which we were sitting close to so that helped to let us see. The guy who won the race as a real charismatic character and palyed to the crowd. There was a hugh cheer when he came in with a flying 2nd round to win the Perth leg of the championship, it was the American piolit who won the overall world chaampionship.

The race has been all over the world and did have a UK leg which was held at Longleat. However the Sunday racing had to be cancelled due to poor weather. No such problems here!

It was very well supported with a crowd of about 350000 there. It will be back next year so we might go again, but try to get there a bit earlier, apparently about 7am, to get a reasonable spot, (the race dosen't start till 12pm) 

Ryan's School Disco

Ryan had his school disco and sausage sizzle last week. It was in the undercover area at the school. The kids all seemed to have a good time. The girl's Ryan is playing with are Rebekah, who we used to live next door to in Craigie, and Chole, another little girl in his class. I guess he like the ladies!!!
