Callum and Olga at tango

Callum compared the Monash Dance Sport club's first performance night. After a while, he relaxed into a good presentation style where he gracefully introduced each dance performance from the teachers and members of his dance club at Monash University.

At the performance night he did the preview performance of the tango routine that he has been working on for several months. His dance partner was Olga, with whom he has been dancing for almost a year.

He has got keen on tango. On September 24 he flies off to Argentina to spend 2 weeks on intensive tango lessons with some of the principal teachers there.

Tropical Cruise

In mid-March 2012 Susan and I took a cruise on the Pacific Dawn from Brisbane to New Caledonia and Vanuatu. We were sceptical about a cruise holiday, but decided we should give one a try. It turned out that we had a lot of fun.

About

20th Anniversary Regency Ball

On 31st January 2009, we held a Jane Austen style Regency Ball to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. The 50 Guests went to great effort with their costumes and participation in the dancing. A very memorable evening.

Vacation in Melbourne

Last February Susan and I took a holiday in Hobart as the two of us alone. With the advice of our counsellor, we decided that this is a pattern that we should continue. So now we plan a holiday together at least once a year. This year we decided to visit Melbourne, our home city, as tourists. We also wanted to try out apartment living in the CBD so Susan organised a nice apartment at the Mantra on the Park. We spent 2 days doing tourist activities in Melbourne, just the sort of activities that we would normally do when visiting a city. Melbourne came up well in comparison to our other city experiences - it is a good place to visit.

Family Portraits

At our 20th Anniversary Ball we engaged Kellie from Romantic Events to capture some posed family portraits. She photographed most of them in a small pavilion at the venue, and some of us on a chaise longues, to get a period feel. Also to capture the style of the period we posed for some photos with relaxed, serious expressions - not all though, as it seems unnatural for photographs now.

Fun in Sydney

Over Easter 2008 we had 7-days vacation in Sydney with the family, Johanna and Robin. We rented an apartment in the Meriton World Towers, located between the CBD and Chinatown. With such a central location, we had a fantastic time exploring lots of different parts of Sydney.

Xmas & Summer 2008

We had the Miller family to Xmas at our house this year, and the following day Susan's family came. After a weekend at Rye, we took off on a 2-week road trip to Adelaide. This was our first visits to South Australia, and it was a good one. Though on occasions the weather was hot, we mostly had extremely pleasant time.
