So, enjoy and please feel free to communicate with me if you have any questions at all. |
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. | One of a twin pair of Rolls Royce Phantoms. I used to restore vintage & veteran cars. (The rich boys toys!) |

Refuelling at sea with destroyer- HMAS Hobart, oiler- HMAS Success & landing ship-tank- HMAS Kanimbla (Under me). Very close quarters! | Only a Mother could love a face like this!
Working as an industrial painter on a huge cotton harvester. |
||
At a family fancy dress party (honest!), I dressed as a rather gayly coloured council worker. Strange person beside me though! | This is worth a look. Whilst driving down the coast of Victoria, I
saw this sign.
What sort of cars do they have there? |
This one is just to upset my kids.
Tony on the left, Heidi on the right.
Not that long ago! |

A parent's pride. The final presentation from the Commanding Officer. No longer a recruit. | ||
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. | ||
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? | 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 and Kellie (his then fiancee, now wife and mother of their kids) after his graduation from recruit school at HMAS Cerberus. | 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. |
