No, this isn't going to be a page full of Olympic or millenium-related images (and I hear you sigh gratefully)... just somewhere to deposit the collection of photos I've built up after a recent spate of scanning. Now, I do not recall any offensive photos in this batch so be a happy clicker and feel free to put some of them on your desktop. I have divided the photos into two pages:

Page One contains photos from the beach, Karen and Yasmin's Rainbow Party, school and miscellaneous events.
Page Two contains photos from the Baulko Cruise/ semi-formal in Sydney Harbour.

All photos are thumbnails (smaller versions for faster d/loading of the page) so click on them to view in more detail. Advance apologies for the luminous orange date that appears in every photo. If you have any photos to contribute to these pages, or would like to add your own caption or comment, feel free to contact me.


a trip to the beach!


(left) Ahh, Noods hard at work shaping a breast after the boys decided to half-bury Hinch and give him a chode.
(right) Sean and Noods survey their handiwork while Hinch decides to try out his new anatomy.


1* Yvonne, with the houses of Bronte behind her.
2* Noods trying not to be camera shy.
3* James being eloquent. You have to admit that it's a good photo, though.
4* That's me, in James' jumper (does he even own any other clothes?)


Karen and Yasmin's Rainbow Party


left: Happy rainbow people. Yvonne (blue) and the two rainbow hosts, Karen and Yasmin.
middle: A real rainbow? Not quite; there were some noteable absences of colour and excess of others (of the pink family). L-R: Lisa (red), me (yellow), Olivia (aqua), Yvonne (blue), Jenni (purple), Kara (pink), Bhakthini (flesh), Carly (grey), Louise (white) and in the front, Karen and Yasmin (rainbow).
right: Louise and Karen doing an impression of Britney Spears, if I remember correctly.


The Flour Game
left: Uh-oh, I think Bhakthini knocked over the lolly.
middle: Carly's attempt at retrieving it from a plateful of flour.
right: Lou decides that a faceful of flour isn't enough, and
completes her white outfit with a headful of floured hair. (oh Louise.)


left: The yellow cake I made for the party. (So I was proud of it, so what!)
middle: Lisa being completely normal and everyone else looking bored.
right: The two hosts pose: Yasmin being blokish and Karen... well, not-so-blokish.


schooool days


left: Jeans for Genes Day. Louise and Kara in our wonderful art room.
middle: l-r: Carly, Louise, Fiona, me, Yasmin, ignore the stupid face I'm pulling.
right: after school antics - Trav, Vonne and Jonno look on as Hinch and Wap work their white-trash magic on Sean
(who's far from being the Adidas champion of the world at this moment, despite the bagstrap around his middle).


left: Felice, Carly Pye's German visitor, has a mope in the corner of the music room on her last day.
middle: Kara, being a Towers bum. (I needed to finish the film!)
right: Same deal; only in K-mart now, and in a deft manoeuvre, Sean takes things into his own hands.


Yup, that's me, still in K-mart and smiling about it.


mismashed photos


left: A really interesting tree we found in a park near Glebe Pt Rd.
middle: Noods outside the new part of Parra Station
right: Paint an Icon - a sort of promotion of freedom we came across in the same park
where you could paint whatever you felt like on one of the boards.


left: Sean and a big tree in the Botanical Gardens.
middle: A quaint set of stairs from Circular Quay to some street that I thought was nice.
right: A tree on the corner of my neighbour's driveway that looked very nice at dusk.

left: A lily in our garden, I dunno, it looked nice at the time.
middle: Parramatta's under-23s Sydney Champs team. We came second last!! L-R: Gary, our coach; Regina, Olivia, Christina, Amelia, Lily. Front: me, Natalie, Adele, Lauren, Dominique and Skye. Ages ranged from 13 (Skye) to 23. Absent - Bronnie (due to injury)
right: The Olympic coloured pots the councils put all around the Hills area during the Olympics; these ones were on Castle Hill Road, WPH, (the first ones I saw, so I thought they were pretty funky) - this was taken on the day the torch came through West Penno, a bit of an anti-climax actually.
