Flynn celebrated his 6th birthday with a party at the Menai club house with some of his mates and family.

4m 12s

Cooper's 4th birthday was celebrated at Michelle's club house with family and friends.

2m 50s

Keiran was about to head back to London, so we had a farewell celebration at Michelle's club house.

3m 03s

On a very windy day during a trip to Canberra, I rode up to Mt. Stromlo, the site of the ANU's astronomical observatory. It was mostly destroyed by the Canberra bushfires, but is slowly coming back to life. It also has great views over Canberra.

4m 11s

Yvonne's birthday party at Illawong, with all the usual suspects.

1m 33s

Mother's Day was celebrated with a family gathering at Illawong.

0m 54s

Peter and I flew to the Gold Coast to attend Ron Pope's funeral. We arrived early and enjoyed lunch at the Kurrawa Surf Club

2m 07s

A few hours spent at the Science Museum in Wollongong with Peter, Michelle, Jake and Flynn.

1m 34s

Jake and Lily's birthdays were jointly celebrated with a family meal at Illawong. This year was a little bit early, probably due to other activities. Their birthdays are on consecutive days!

1m 58s

A family dinner was on at Illawong. It's hard to record a video clip while eating, so that is not here. But conversation and playing are here.

0m 51s

Jack and Shasta were visiting Australia researching an article for a US motorcycle magazine. They had borrowed a Ducati touring bike, and were shortly to head north. This was sort of an introductory ride to Australian rural roads, and a few scenic spots. Not much video content.

4m 44s

Jake was playing in an indoor soccer league at Menai Sports Centre. I think this was his first game in this competition. And, the winner was .... You'll just have to watch!

2m 13s

To test the comfort of the Triumph for an upcoming ride to the Gold Coast, I rode a circular route from Sydney to Dubbo then south to the Hume Highway and home to Sydney. Over 2 days, this was equivalent to riding to the Gold Coast, with the benefit that if it proved uncomfortable, at least I would end up at home.

2m 00s

A ride to Warragamba Dam to look at the new visitor facilities, and the dam itself.

1m 40s

A good day to go flying at Stanwell Tops - at least that's what the hang-gliders and para-gliders thought.

1m 10s

A weekend trip with Peter, Yvonne, Jake and Flynn to visit the War Memorial and Questacon. Both boys are fascinated with weapons and war, and were looking forward to this trip for some time.

4m 11s

Cooper's end of year concert at Bambinos. And also his final concert, as next year he starts kindergarten.

3m 37s

Tynan's 11th birthday celebrated with family at Glenn and Kelly's home at Kurnell.
