Hunter Valley, 1981 (or possibly 1982)

hello again

well, my Dad's discovery and scanning of pictures has no end in sight! actually, i set him the challenge of getting this one, and i believe i owe him a coconut for it......

here we are at the magnificent Hunter Valley, a place we all only went to once (i think), but i remember fondly. you went on a boat ride around all the vineyards, and i recall spending what felt like hours playing on a climbing frame that was on one of the docks. it was ace, you could pretend to be Spiderman, Batman or any other superhero, climbing up the frame and jumping into the water to rescue someone or something.





from the left is Gillian, wearing a smart Salt Lake City t-shirt Dad brought her back from a trip to America. i recally Dad bringing me back an excellent Lego set - i believe Richard got one too, although i stand to correction!

next to Gillian is our dear friend from the time, Donna Robinson, daughter of the enigmatic Albert "Albie" Robinson. wonderful people, although i am sorry that i do not recall her mother's name. who knows, if any of them by chance are googling their own name, maybe they will find this site and get in touch!!

then there is your humble narrator, with no t-shirt on. this will be no surprise; i used to get terrible sunburn. go figure! the mind boggles as to the pose i am pulling, but it does look better than the fist one from a post or two ago!

and finally there's Richard on the end. unless i am very much mistaken, he is wearing an ace New York Jets t-shirt, i think it had some sort of "rocket man" flying away on it. i quite dig the action pose he has going!!!

more pics as and when they land on my PC! i suppose i should try and find older pictures in my collection too, but i suspect they are boxed up in a storage area of our house. ho hum.

right, how much can a coconut cost anyway!!!

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
