| Page Views: 34,250 | G'DAY FROM DOWNUNDER by aussirose - last update: Oct 16, 2008  |
Most of you know that my lovely daughter Kelli has just married the man of her dreams, Tom.
Friday, 30 November 2007 finally arrived. The weather forecast was a few showers, however we woke to brilliant sunshine after a bit of rain overnight.
Champas breakky and being amongst hairdressers, florists and make up artists, all Kelli's friends.....we had no trouble with the fashion preparations.
The hilight of the day was a big black stretch hummer to transport the wedding party, followed by 2 black limos for the rest of us. We all felt like gansters and the colour choice fitted in well :o)
Of course I'd love to just keep talking about how wonderful it was, but I think that pictures tell a better story....so for those that are viewing this right now......Just be patient - I'm about to create a travelogue of the day below. |

I made it yea!! Santorini!! .....Virtually that is.
What a host Hansi and Lori were! They sure looked after me and made sure I didn't fall apart :o) They took me everywhere with them and boy did I have one hellova weekend!!
I also got to meet all my mates and am so happy here to have my photo taken with two other great vt mates, Ove and Jess.
And the fellas even gave Jess and I a beer! How kind of them ;o)

Of course as usual on vt meets, things do get a little out of hand and I had to live up to the virtual attendees standard.
Couldn't resist conning Hansi into some pole dancing :o) What fun!!Hansi has some fabulous Santorini pix. Click here to visit his pages.
Hansi's Santorini PageIf you havn't tried it yet, hosting or being hosted 'virtually' at the big vt meets is great fun and makes for entertaining pix and definately a more fun vt weekend. |

Well Thank you for visiting my humble pages. We moved to Perth from Sydney 6 years ago now. I'm sure I have gypsy in my blood as right about now, I usually get itchy feet. The most I have stayed in a place (apart from where I grew up of course) is 7 years.....so you never know what the future may hold.
A little bit about aussirose.
I am a family person with 4 kids so we cannot always aford to travel but we are fortunate enough to have lived in quite a few places in Australia. I joined vt, like many of you, planning a great Europe trip. Hopefully this will happen one day.....I've got my mind set on it.....and aussirose is quite a determined lady ;o)
I live about 20 minutes north of Perth near Mullalloo. Since vt does not have my suburb on the map, then the closest place to home is Mullalloo. Anyway, since Mullallo is close to home I have made up quite a nice little page incorporating Mullalloo, my local beach and Hillarys Boat Harbour. Hope you drop by :o)
As most of you already know by now, I love the simple things in life....and you can't get much more simple than enjoying a fabulous sunset with a few glasses of wine and a smorgasboard of cheese, crackers, dip, fresh bread, peppery olive oil, olives etc....
And don't forget, if you are passing through, please flick me a quick email and let me know so I can help you plan the best places to see in Australia.
Cya round vt!!!!
Cheers,
Ann :o)Mullalloo |
| | Isn't life wonderful!!
Besides sunsets and learning more about the beautiful places in the world. I love going on picnics with the kids. Beaches are my passion and I daydream a lot :o)
I love music too, just about anything,....well except opera haha. Music is a mood thing and usually I love to hear lively dance stuff, especially when I'm doing boring housework lol.
When I find the time I enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles too.
Awesome Beach Pix |
| | Gorgeous Flowers!!!
I nearly forgot,..... besides beaches and sunsets, I love tropical flowers too. Hibiscus are my favourite, with frangipani close second. Somehow, I didn't think the nic Aussibiscus sounded right?!! lol - so that's why I became Aussirose.... Anyway, I do love the scent of deep red roses,....mmmmm :o)

| | Our New Boat
Me being the cruise queen on vt and Hubby, the fishing enthusiast finally had a dream come true. Just bought our first boat!!! We are soooo excited!! Here's a pic of the first launch at Hillarys Boat Harbour. The fella in the foreground is Hubby's boating instructor and Dylan has got the rope. Both Hubby and Dylan just obtained their Skippers Ticket so I'm in expert hands haha.
Here's the big launch story - 1st Day Boating

Ever had a feeling you were missing out on something? ........ Then perhaps you need to experience a VT meeting!! What could be more fun than to meet up for the first time with someone from another part of the world that you have spoken to here on vt. It's called 'instant friends'. Try it!! ....Believe me, you won't be dissapointed. Here is one pic from our huge vt meeting here in Perth, April 2007. We had over 40 people from all around Australia, New Zealand and a few from USA arrive in Perth, and boy did this little city rock!

Thank you so much for your very kind comments on my Kakadu page and photos, Ann. The problem now is that any future trips will be compared to that one! :)) | unravelau Wed Oct 15, 2008 00:11 UTC
Me in Melbourne? No way Ann, I am still in the same old, same old. Actually about 3 hours in two flights from here to there. I hope that everyone has a great time. Ps. I wonder how's weather in NZ? Hugs, Carole. | betska Tue Oct 14, 2008 22:23 UTC
