September & October 2010

September means the end of football season and this year the Port Hedland Rovers were lucky enough to make the Grand Final.  Russell was also lucky enough to have five members of his family fly up to watch, three of which were a surprise.  It was a great game and the boys put up a good fight but couldn't quite finish the game with a win.  None the less it was a great to have family with us, especially our cute little niece, Marley, who had no qualms in being our mascot for the game!

One of our most favourite spots that we have discovered over the past four years of living in Port Hedland is 80 Mile Beach. This weekend we took to the road and visited with friends. It was our first visit since tropical cyclone Laurence hit in December 2009. Whilst the damage was extensive the staff are working hard at restoring the grounds to their pre-cyclone state. We had a great weekend even though we didn't manage to bring any fish home!

We hope you enjoy the snaps.

There was fish caught!

There's a first time for everything.  I even managed a couple of  'doughnuts'!
