Good afternoon,

Seems plenty has happened to keep me busy but I haven't had a lot to report in January but there have been a few noteworrthy events in February.

Firstly, there was Dad's surprise 80th birthday party and please see the Image Gallery for more details and photos. But here is one we made 60 years earlier, at Ballarat in 1946 to be exact!



I joined The National Golf Club on the Mornington Peninsula mid month also. This has been an exciting time as I try to get a bit fitter and more importantly get my game in shape to meet the challenges of the three fantastic courses at the National.

Also it was the 2006 Melbourne International Motor Show, an annual event that my father and I attend, usually followed by a nice dinner. The show was great again, from the Shannon's vintage and collectible auction cars outside to the new models inside it is a treat for car lovers just to wander around. The highlights this year - maybe the Pagani Zonda, the new 'S Class Benz's or the Porsche Cayman.



Although Dad was fascinated by a large number of engines (cutaway models and whole) that were on display. Dinner was at Owen's Grill at the Railway Hotel in Port Melbourne. Rump steak, fat chips, a bottle of wine and father & son. Perfect!

Bye for now, BomberBoy
