Brisbane Boat Float

The annual Brisbane Boat Float 2012

Eak and Aaron pre-float, zincing up and getting the chilly bins full of beer!

The two random Canadians and Gout (aka Mike, Aaron's mate) and Aaron

Trying to get the beer to the boat and watching out for snakes!

The set up... three inflatable boats tied together and drifting down the Brisbane river.  There are Bull Sharks in the Brisbane river so I was not keen to get in.

Me looking for a beer.

The Redbull team giving out free stuff, sweet.

The music raft, it went really well until its got flooded and shorted out everything.

Off for a swim, watching out for the Bull sharks

Aaron and one of the Canadians chicks.

Doing a lay back as we floated into port.

Katherine and Sean, were also there but we did not see them until the end.

.....just loving it and extremely drunk at 4pm hahaha!

End of the trip, but an amazing night ensued - Dinner at this amazing Japanese restaurant Sake Sake Sake.  Great day!

Shahn could have been on  this fantastic trip but she was getting a hair cut and picked us up at the end.

Lederhosen, Rugby, Beer and Cutting Shapes

Two weekends rolled into one.

First we started out playing mini putt and having a few beers, then a relaxing evening playing pool after a lovely meal at the golf club in Brisbane.

Grooving

The boys again showing their moves

Clearly showing how best to fend off the opposition (Still not sure how I got the rugby ball into a few clubs in Brisbane AND we got home with it!)

Jumping

Cutting Shapes

More fending

More Grooving

Suncorp is possibly the best stadium I have ever watched any sporting event in. All round, a fantastic few weekends in Brisbane - getting home both weekends at the respectable hour of 3-4am. Not getting so old after all!!!

Chinchilla Foam Party

The Chinchilla Foam Party...

 

The small town of about 7,500 put on a huge party in the old showgrounds building, right next door to where Eak lives, so we just had to stumble home!  There were a huuuuge amount of Kiwi's there, busting out some moves to Kiwi classy classics like "Swing" by Savage and cutting some shapes to "Slice of Heaven" by Dave Dobbyn and the Herbs.

Just about to head out.  To explain this..... the op shop was closed and the only other store in Chinchilla left open was the Reject Shop - so naturally we bought the most random shit in the store and made it work!

Shahn raging with Marcello and Candice, Aaron in the background (with the tigger hat on)

Same as above but illuminated

 

See now you can really appreciate the LED lights I had on - genius!

My lights and pink hair were the "light" of the party! haha.  Apparently while I was grooving people were patting my hair and I was called Pinky all night!
