Thailand Brazil England Gold Coast

This is not part of my travel blog just my personal photographic history.

Thailand Brazil England

Thailand Brazil England 2009 are not included in this post, they are trips I made through this year, as well as visiting Sydney in November. Brazil was another great experience which included a fascinating tour through Rocinha Favella. My England trip included Lands End, as well as St Ives & the nice seaside village of Lime Regis.

So although Thailand Brazil England are not included in this post you can access them by clicking on the above links.

Seaway with Labrador in the background.

If I had the money this is the type of boat I would like to own.

Gold Coast Turf Club

It’s Melbourne cup day and my good friend Phil Thomson & I join the happy crowd which is a long way from Thailand Brazil England. 🙂

The guy lurking in the background is Norm Jenks who is originally from Melbourne.

Carolyn Clarke, an old girlfriend from 1994.

Carolyn is a super girl with a great personality.

The VB semi trailer is at the track.

My nieces Laura and Elyssa.

Here we are on Chevron eating fish and chips at Frank’s seafood shop.

Jim Bell pretending to be an important executive.

Jimmy was a border at my home for 15 years from 1994 to 2009. He tends to take himself rather seriously at times. 🙂

Dani Tobin, a real wild child.

I clearly remember one night Dani trying to climb through a gap at the top of my front gate and getting jammed. Her screams could be heard for miles.

Super high tide at home

A tide like this only happened two or three times a year, always at however.

Phil Thomson and I had the same model Lexus.

Mine was the white one, even though it was only a 1998 model it is best value car $ for $ I have ever owned.

One of my lovely Japanese borders

Tall and beautiful.

Old friend from the 80s.

The shortest lady in the black top is Teresa Hamilton-Smith who was one of my girlfriends in Sydney in 1982, that’s her daughter on the right & on the far left is her sister Lexi Hamilton-Smith. Terry is married to an English guy & now lives in the U.K.
