End of the basketball season

The end of the basketball season has arrived with Darcy's team finishing equal 1st with Roebuck Primary.

Ruby played in two teams (until she got busted and had to hand in her resignation for one - which is probably just as well since she also did dancing on Fridays and may have expired from exhaustion) and they both went quite well and improved lots over the season.

Easter holidays at Barnhill Station

For Easter we went to Barnhill Station with Jann (Tracey's mum). We bumped into lots of people we knew down there and made some new friendswhich was great.

Roses the dog was still here and seemed to remember us. She slept under our van for the whole time and came on lots of walks and swims to the beach.

My fishing record was true to form with a total of 0 fish. Luckily a couple of blokes nearby caught more than they could eat and slipped me a few - already filleted mind you, so it actually turned out better than catching them myself.

Bye to the Oggs

Sadly, one of the first friends we made in Broome have left for Italy to live for a year.

Sandy and Alex (photographed after (another) torrid day packing) have been great friends and made us feel very welcome when we arrived in Broome.

As well as being terrific friends for Ruby, Darcy and Anna, Addison & Liam (the one in red is a ring-in) have kept me gainfully employed in the Broome Hospital Xray department. Without their regular visits I'm sure the management would have been wondering if the workload justified my position.

Have a great time, you'll love it. Hopefully you'll find some welcoming Italian family when you get there (Oggotoli, Oggonello - something like that). Best wishes.

Our friend Zahara leaves town

This is our Friend Zahara who lives next door with Holly. She's moving down South and we'll miss her lots, especially her heart - attack desserts. Bye xxx :(

Hopefully she can become an Australian soon.

We're 11!!!!!!!

A couple of weeks ago Darcy and I turned 11! I got some great presents including a pair of jodhpurs and boots for horse riding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was great to have Nanny up here for our birthday and we spent the afternoon at town beach just chillin'.
We decided to have a birthday party this year with all our broome friends. It took place at the Amphitheatre at Cable Beach and there were about 30 of our friends. Mum did a great job with the food and dad did well with organising the games with us, the games we played included; a scavenger hunt, dress up relays, tunnel ball and just soccer and footy. The dress up relays were particularly funny with the boys running around in bras and girls falling over in hiking boots!
I'd just like to thank all my friends and family for their lovely birthday wishes and presents
