"Surprise" Birthday Party

Last Sunday Maria organised a surprise birthday party to celebrate my 37th. I knew something was up as Maria and Sue had organised a BBQ at Hope Island, but Maria wouldn't give me answers to simple questions like "Who else is coming to the BBQ".

Its seems another group of people had booked the site of the party / BBQ at Hope Island but Sue had a backup location at Jabiru Island.

In the end a Good day was had by all, with bit of cricket, kicking the footy, and the throwing of a Vortex keeping the boys amused.

I would like to thank Maria for organising the day and to "Sue & Mark, Nick & Dionne, Peter & Lesley, Michael & Vicky, Baz, Jenny & Madeline, and last but not least Des & Vanessa"

Holidays

Last week Maria and I celebrated my birthday with a holiday in Palm Cove, Qld.

We stayed at the Novotel Palm Cove which is about 20 minutes north of Cairns and 40 minutes South of Port Douglas.

Photos from the trip can be found here, and a map of the trip can be found here.

The Highlights of the holiday include-

Michaelmas Cay

I had a great dive, while Maria had a guided tour of the reef by a turtle (not me) while snorkling.
