OLD...

Myself and the evil twin galloped a little closer towards forty this year, celebrating a joined 76 years on this watery sphere... We celebrated at their new Paddington apartment with family and friends, where some gruelling pong battles were won and lost, before heading to the nearby Allianz stadium to watch the Socceroos trounce Jordan 5-1! Getting old ain't so bad... ; )
 Pa's pong domination!
 Handsome spectators...
 Paxton!
 What's up there?!
Family fun for all...

rules of engagement...

A lot can change in less than a year! 
Last September my favourite person in the world surprised me in Sydney Park by asking for my hand in marriage... Since then, we've planned and celebrated our Australian wedding and honeymoon'd down the east coast of Oz, among our usual hectic social and sporting calendars... : ) What a life!
So it was on that sunny September morning, I was surprised with bunting, bubbles and a slightly blubbering Lucy Higgins asking for my hand in marriage... LOVE...

bondi black and white...

Ahhh Bondi Beach you are a cruel bitch at times...
This may look like a relaxing, picturesque summer afternoon, but what's not shown is the hour plus drive to cover 5km and the hour plus wait for a schnitzel in the local RSL in an attempt to avoid the same traffic on the return journey... Never again...

strikers on tour...

So last year, I played my first full season of 11 a side football with the Collaroy Cromer Strikers. Well, almost a full season... Sadly, I tore my MCL in my right knee, in the week before the grand final... Which we won, along with the minor premiership... Sigh...
Anyway, to celebrate an awesome season with a bunch of awesome peeps, we ventured north to Forresters Beach and enjoyed a lads weekend of drinking, FIFA on Xbox, drinking, playing beach football and... more drinking... Super stoked to have ended up on a team full of such ace peeps! CC!
 To the beach/pitch!
 Game on!

 For a hard earned thirst...
 Male models...

 Football fwends...
 The long walk home...
 Party crashers...
 Let the games begin...
 Captain's discussions...
Lights out!

barossa...

I was lucky enough to visit the beautiful Barossa Valley last year as part of a job for Lilydale Farms, assisting ledge Sydney photographer Paul Blackmore. Though we were working just outside of Adelaide, a cricket match in the city meant all the hotels were over booked and over priced, leaving us with (sigh) no option but to crash at the Barossa Novotel... When life gives you grapes... ; )

cockatoo island...

Back in February, I was treated to a birthday surprise day out care of my lovely lady... The early part of the day involved hats and hotdogs before we headed to the harbour for a camping expedition to Cockatoo Island! The island has a really interesting history as both a penal colony and a shipyard, which we ended up hearing loads about when we bumped into a former employee! The weather was amazing and we somehow managed to luck into the best spot on the island to set up our tent... 
It was pretty surreal to be woken up by the moon in the middle of the night...
 Shining light...
 Industry...
 Tunnels...
 Island hoops...
 Bloody Hambone, he's always up to no good...
Campground coffee chill bongs... Keeping it classy...
