Brown Leaves

The Things I Do Sometimes continued
The little bang
If you must look at life through rose coloured glasses, at least pack a gun. I used to be a pistol coach at the local club.
Rolls Royce
One of a twin pair of Rolls Royce Phantoms. 
I used to restore vintage & veteran cars. 
(The rich boys toys!)
Refuel At Sea
Refuelling at sea with destroyer- HMAS Hobart, oiler- HMAS Success & landing ship-tank- HMAS Kanimbla (Under me). Very close quarters!
Painting
Only a Mother could love a face like this!
Working as an industrial painter on a huge cotton harvester.
Just Fwiends
At a family fancy dress party (honest!), I dressed as a rather gayly coloured council worker. Strange person beside me though!
Rocky Roads
This is worth a look. Whilst driving down the coast of Victoria, I saw this sign.
What sort of cars do they have there?
The Obligitory Family Photo's
(You thought you had got away without them?) In no particular order or organisation.
Kiddies
This one is just to upset my kids. Tony on the left, Heidi on the right.
Not that long ago!
Friendly Rivalry
In their late teens, Heidi as a stoker (marine engineer) in the Naval Reserve Cadets & Tony in Army Reserve uniform.
Knights in White
After their annual inspection with their grandmother, Doreen. Heidi, an Able Seaman Stoker & Tony, a Cadet Petty Officer Cook
Marchpast

Female Guard
All women & every one has a rifle! Wow!

Presentation
A parent's pride. The final presentation from the Commanding Officer. No longer a recruit.
Chef
Tony preparing his graduation dinner from commercial cookery school as a chef.
Tony marching out for his passing out parade from recruit school for the Army Reserve.
Recruit to Private
At last, at 18 years old, a Private. All that running around in the bush finally paid off. Have you noticed he seems to wear some funny hats?
Winter's Guard
Tony's passing out parade guard when he finally made it into the R.A.N. A very cold, foggy winter's day in Victoria.
Tony & Kellie
Tony and Kellie (his then fiancee, now wife and mother of their kids) after his graduation from recruit school at HMAS Cerberus.
Heidi on leave with Dopey
Heidi on leave from the Navy doing a citchee-coo number on our mate, Dopey.
Paddling sea kayaks in Noosa River, Qld. A chance to explore all the waterways at close hand. A wonderful experience.
The bigger the boys, the bigger the toys! Cannot stay away from the bikes for too long. My BMW R1200RT tourer at left. Supreme comfort on the road.
