Went to the boxing day test with Chicken, Ed, Satchits little bro and mate. Thanks heaps to Megan for getting tickets for us. The crowd looked pretty awesome with definate coloured sections - really cool(see above). Jason had a much cooler (but more expensive) time hopefully he'll add it to the comments is this where you were sitting ayres?.They handed out inflatable oversised gloves which made nice cushions. Ed managed to smuggle in an entire bottle of chivas - had a nice siesta after a few whisky colas.

Thanks Gez and Rishika for hosting another fantastic event. Next one will be in King street. Onya everyone for coming through with what was promised on the Wiki menu . Everything was absolutely delicious with the exception of davo's la bouche. To be fair Davo could not foresee his dessert would be the innocent victim of a devious gravox fueled punkd directed at me. Heads up Megan and Harnie revenge will be salty!


check out Ed's KK code thanks Gez for hosting it.

Onya gez for saving the day when we bought the tickets see 8/8/2005 and keeping them safe till we needed them.
Securty was unusually intense. Along with the standard bag checks all drinks brought in had to be poured into cups, and everyone was patted down. Afro-headed terrorist-looking people got an extra thorough search.

Thanks to Jase and Val for driving everyone.
Started out fit and raring to go.
Walked to little
Oberon
bay and along the beach to
Oberon bay. We set up camp in the shadow of Mt.Doom leaving our heavy backpacks and injured comrades. We set off at brisk pace to the east coast. After the first snake sighting our orignal formation seemed to change.
Made it to waterloo bay in record time. On the hike back got a bar of gsm coverage at the top of the hill called chef tino to get dinner started. And what a gastronomic delight it was! Who says chum (so chumpy you can carve it) is pet food only. Topped off with some sparkling spring water. Spent the evening mucking around on the beach and doing that slow shutter thing with our cameras. The hike back the next morning was more about getting the injured over the mountans and creeks.

Canadians, an observation deck and a strange sport

Thanks Andy for organising the highest grad drinks ever. As much as I love to take a good panorama none of my shots came out so I googled "rialto observation deck panorama" the first hit was on the money, every1 should check out big bens: panorama. He also seems to share my philosophy to hiking, pretty cool site.
After this took the Canadians to international rules at the dome. I was as confused as the Canadians even though I am familiar with Aussie rules and have heard of Gaelic footy.
