Hi All,

We shot Monday morning, Tuesday Morning and we have just finished a full day of shooting today, and we are rather tired (to say the least), It's a really really really long walk. We've shot in wind, little bits of drizzle, full sunshine. It's like Victoria, just wait 10 minutes and it will change.
Spent more money on food and grog than anything else so far (exclusing shoot fees etc), and will be doing the site seeing thing tomorrow and Friday. Presentation dinner is tomorrow night.
After the "holiday" getting off to a, lets say an "interesting" start, beginning at the airport, it's turned out pretty well.
Will find out where the photo's are going to be posted.
Met heaps of people, would you believe, mostly from home.
It's definately been an experience.

cheers
sue

A huge thank you to the Norfolk Island crew for a great shoot. I had a great time and hope to be able to go over again. I was truly amazed at the organization of the club - you certainly put larger clubs to shame. The venue, food and entertainment was fantastic. Well done!

There were quite a few ozbowers over on Norfolk from Australia and NZ, some of us came home with beautiful trophies and hand woven straw hats.
Well done to the Norfolk Club.

Here are some more photos for you.
