Now where did I put that flaming sword?: These Were My Pupils.........

Sports Day at my old school. Unfortunately this event eclipsed the fact that my old House finally WON!!!!!
First time since 2003.

Where We Are

Ah Adelaide, Adelaide, ever lovin' Adelaide..........

We live in the capital city of the driest state in the driest continent. A city of around 1,000,000 people, stretched out along a **** km coastline and sandwiched in tightly by the Mount Lofty Ranges in the East. The city of Pubs and Churches, Adelaide, is unique in the history of British colonisation of Terra Australis in that it was a free settlement. It remains a very introspect state, isolated as it is by an 8 hour drive to its nearest major city neighbour, Melbourne in the east and an enormous, half a continent trip to its western neighbour, Perth.

Despite its isolation, Adelaide thrives on its Arts and culture. Many creatively and intellectually great Australians were spawned on the Adelaide Plains. Hans Heyson, Albert Namatjira, Peter Weir, Robert Helpmann, and Howard Florey
to name a few.

There is also a fantastically talented graphic artist here in SA! I happen to be married to him!
