25 Dec 2004 - Bows & Knives
If you see an absent-minded professor type walking around Launceston, its just Dave wearing the bow-tie given to him by Cath for Christmas. But beware because Dave gave Cath a Machete (well it was on the list). Pete was over from Melbourne for Christmas and Liz was home too,so it was more like the family Christmases of old.
20 Dec 2004 - Annapurnorama
We have stitched together some of Liz's photos for this spectacular panorama from Annapurna Base Camp. (use arrows to navigate) And here are also some of Daves Photos.2 Nov 2004 - Namaste
[Na-mas-tayyy] The Nepali greeting will echo for ever in the heads of anyone who has ever been there. Liz and friend Rachel were joined by Dave for a couple of weeks trekking in the Annapurna ranges. Excellent weather, beautiful mountain scenery, middle-ages culture and the friendly natives made it an interesting and enjoyable trip.21 Oct 2004 - Beer-go-round
Daves been back to the UK, catching up with family members and friends for a couple of weeks. Many pleasant evenings in many pubs and rarely in the same bed for more than one night. Its a hard life for some.16 Oct 2004 - Chris Drops Out
Of an aeroplane that is. . . from 10,000 feet. Now safely back on terra firma. . something everybody should try. . . once. He has now moved up to Sydney where his girlfriend Alice has a job and is currently seeking gainful employment on the lower North Shore.
5 September 2004 - Liz out of Canada & funds
Having travelled from one side of Canada to the other over 6 months, Liz has returned to England to earn some more money before heading off on the next adventure. Mind you that's not going to stop her going to Germany for the beer festival :-)

Chris has been promoted to assistant manager at the book shop. On ya Chris. . .12 July 2004 - Cafe Cath
Cath has now started work as a hospitality trainee at Bon Appetite in Charles Street. All those looking for a decent cup of coffee now know where to go! Peter also seems to be on the move in Melbourne to Templestowe Hotel if you're looking for a good feed over that way.1 July 2004 - On the Fringe
Sarah's recent outing to the hairdressers seems to have resulted in a fringe. Looking good Sarah. . .
24 June 2004 - Liz on the stampede
Liz has now finished working at the Resort on Vancouver Island and is heading east across the Rockies to Calgary Stampede.
18 May 2004 - Cath the masseuse
Cath went for an interview to be a masseuse. Apparently 98% of people have their spine out of alignment and Phil Newman is the man who can cure nearly all known diseases by his holistic approach to re-aligning it for them. He even came out to the car to see if I was good for the $500 he wanted to "train" Cath. I don't think so Phil.
2 April 2004 - Cath the hairdresser
Well. . . not yet, but she has abandoned school at year 11 and is currently inundating all the local hairdressers with appeals for employment. Keep at it Cath, its not that easy to get a job in Launceston unless you know the right people.15 March 2004 - Fly away Peter
Peter has moved to Melbourne to pursue his career in cooking and, more importantly, to be with girlfriend Leah. All going well so far. .
