I quietly crept back into Australia recently to attend my best mate's wedding, and at the same time introduce my Argentine girlfriend to family and friends. It was a great two weeks showing Marcela how superb Australia's beaches, cities, people and beers are (and how well Australians can consume said beers, something she still is amazed by!). We went to Sydney, Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast etc etc. Straight after the wedding she had to fly back to Buenos Aires, and I stayed in Brisbane to work for 3 weeks at my old company to fend off some credit card fires. The cash injection was nice to say the least, and that together with a healthy tax cheque from last financial year may keep me going here in Argentina for a few months at least...?
I also confess this post has nothing to do with South America, but here's some pics anyway:
Three icons of Sydney
I almost forgot how brilliant the beaches are around Qld and northern NSW - Marcela loved them too. We even stayed at Noosa with Willie Carne who is married to Marcela's Australian friend - nice!
Almost the whole family in one place at one time, including Muttley.
The innovation of the Sushi Train hasn't hit Argentina yet so was quite a hit with Marcela.
Jimmy's wedding day - the lads getting ready...
Calming Jimmy's nerves outside the church with some cool ones (Jimmy closest to camera).
Hi Hoody!
Nothing like seeing a bride and well dressed guests playing barefoot bowls at the reception.
Bride and groom strolling across the green.... ahhh...
Later in the night with Rowie behind the camera cracking jokes (or maybe just slurring indecipherably) just before taking a picture of us with my Mum and Dad. There's no hiding my blindingly white skin next to Marcela but at least this photo shows who I can blame!
Even later still and Wiseacre steal the wedding bands instruments to play a few of the old "hits" - looks like at least 3 people remembered the glory days...
