Old Photo Friday: Stacy at Sydney Harbor Bridge


WHO: Stacy
WHAT: Sydney sightseeing
WHERE: Circular Quay/Sydney Harbor Bridge/Sydney, Australia
WHEN: 1995

Showing my parents and Sandra Australia and having them experience my life there was truly a wonderful adventure. From time to time, I hear people talk about their dream of seeing Australia. It's hard to believe that I had the opportunity to live down under for three years and share that experience with my family. If you missed this picture of Chick and I, here is a great shot of the Sydney Opera House.

Enjoy!

Old Photo Friday: Happy Birthday, Jo-Anne!

WHO: Stacy and Jo-Anne
WHAT: Goodbye lunch (I left Australia 3 days later)
WHERE: Melbourne, Australia (Church Street, Brighton)
WHEN: April 1997

Happy Birthday to my Australian pal, Jo-Anne. We worked together at Norwich Union in Melbourne, Australia back in 1995-96. I can thank Jo-Anne for my sanity. She helped me through a rough patch while sorting out my life and leaving Australia in 1997. I'll never forget the day this picture was taken...outside that cute little restaurant in Brighton, The Half Moon on a cool April "Fall"(southern hemisphere) afternoon.

I miss you Jo!

Enjoy!

Old Photo Friday: Going Through The Heads!


Date: Summer (January in Southern Hemisphere) 1995
Location: Sydney Harbour - Sydney, Australia
Who: Sandra and Stacy
What: Sailing out throught the Sydney Harbour "Heads" with friends. Memories from that day include...a picnic with the Kookooburas, hanging on for dear life as we made our way out into the Tasman Sea and Sandra slicing open her shin (she still has the scar as a fond memory).

Sydney Heads (also simply known as 'The Heads'), is the entrance to Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

North Head and Quarantine Head are to the north, South Head and Dunbar Head are to the south. Middle Head, Georges Head and Chowder Head are to the west and within the bay. The Hornby Lighthouse is located on South Head and is Australia's third oldest lighthouse. Macquarie Lighthouse, Australia's first lighthouse, is a few kilometres to the south on Dunbar Head.

Enjoy!
