More reunion pictures
I have received more reunion pictures from people over the last couple of weeks and have been extremely slack in putting them up on the blog. My apologies.
Firstly, from the Smith Collection we have:
The whole Group at Graham's BBQ on Saturday.
The members of the "1970 Gurkha Club" display their "Badges of Office" from Kathmandu.
Ned and Paul doing a spot of "dolphin" chasing on Port Phillip Bay. I'm still waiting to see the pictures of the "dolphins".
The next days crew, Sandy, Andrew, Peter and Jean, who couldn't find any signs of dolphins.
"Mayday, Mayday. Abandon Ship! Women and children after me!"
And from Kiwi Rae's portfolio we have:
Another Group photo - just in case you weren't smiling in the first one.
Some happy campers at Camp BayPlay, Sorrento.
"Cleansing the palate" with the obligatory ice cream between booze ups, errh - wine tastings.
And from the Ide's family album:
Look, people sent me this photo so I feel obliged to publish it.
The energetic "Nepean Peninsula Walkers" - Back: Peter, Jean, Cynthia and Don. Front: Marg, Alvah, Chrissie and Sarita.
Hello sailor!
Some tourists at the "Eight and a bit Apostles".
More tourists on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Reunion - Tuesday March 27
Tuesday saw a few departures for home, another sailing trip on the bay, a tour of the local wineries for the “boozers”, and we finished the day with a BBQ at Barb and Andrews home at Sorrento.
Cynthia and Don about to take off to see what's left of the 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road.
Chrissie ready to catch the bus back to Melbourne.
Margaret looking very nautical.
The boats rudder strikes a submerged Chinese submarine (or possibly a rock) and Commodore Smith and Captain Rosza assess the damage.
Suitably attired with life jacket, I calmly await instructions to abandon ship
Barb preparing food for the mob.
An uninvited BBQ guest.
Paul about to check if spiders can fly - they can't.

Reunion - Monday March 26
On Monday some of the more energetic people took a hike around Point Nepean Quarantine Station, whilst a number took up Andrew's offer of a leisurely sail on Port Phillip, and we, the remainder, opted for the more civilised Sorrento shopping experience - including lunch. In the evening we all adjourned to the Portsea Hotel for dinner and a birthday celebration.
Ned, Sandy and Heather check out the local icecream at Blairgowrie.
Graham finds that modern communications mean that work is just a phone call away.
Paul and John at the Portsea Hotel.
