My brother Scott and I headed up the Cardrona Valley to see the Queenstown Gold Rush hill climb. Monster Tajima (Suzuki Vitara) ended up winning, followed by Rod Millen (Toyota Celica) and Possum Bourne (Subaru Impreze WRX).
Group room pictures from Kings High School. I just copied these from the kingshigholdboys.co.nz website. Since they didn’t ask my permission to post them, I’m not asking permission to share them 😛 SHm 1993 SHM Group Teachers: Miss S.E. Hume, Mrs C.O. Merriman Row 3: Anthony Henderson, Nathan Johnston, Russell Grant, Neal Kaler, Bruce Hurrell, […]
Thanks to my other cousin Catherine for taking the photos for me 🙂
I now wear contacts most of the time.
Dang nabbit this hurt! Andrew Wiffen and I had a miscommunication during a baseball game and we collided. Unfortunately he put his elbow up to protect himself and took out my eye in the process! Mum decided it wasn’t painful enough already and tortured me further by taking photos of it.
Here are my holes from the mid-late 1980’s … actually, they’re not meant to be holes, the adults just didn’t get it. What I was trying to do was to create a barrier of sand so big that I could sit on the beach and watch the waves crash around me. It never worked very […]
From a family trip to Twizel and Lake Tekapo some time during the 80’s.
A hoar frost in Central Otago some time in the 1980’s. I think this photo was taken in the hills behind Alexandra. That’s not snow you can see on the fence, that’s frozen ice, crystallised from the air … very cool 🙂
Taken during the Harvey family trip to Toko Mouth during the 80’s.
Family trip to QE2 park in Christchurch some time in the 1980’s.
Family trip to Orana Park in Christchurch some time in the 1980’s.
The neighbours gave my Dad permission to “trim some branches” from their pine tree while they were away for the day. My Dad took a rather liberal understanding of the term “trim”!
Photos from a trip to Mount Cook during the 1980’s.
This is Dad and I on the Manorburn dam in 1990.
Yes I was a Cub Scout – don’t hold it against me :p This is us on a trip up Mount Cargill in Dunedin, New Zealand. This would have been some time in the 1980’s, not sure of the exact year though.
May they rest in peace!
This was the last time I went fishing. As you can see, the last time I went fishing was quite successful 🙂 I caught 17 fish in total. Unfortunately the adults ate all of my fish, I never got to have any 🙁
This is a good lesson in why not to trust your elders! Dad and I saw this avalanche above the Hermitage at Mount Cook so we decided to go climb up on it and take some photos. Dad picked me up and dumped me on top of this giant snow ball. I said “Dad, I […]
Chess was a brief passion of mine in the early 1990s. At some point I lost interest; I’ll get into what happened to cause that in a later post. I picked it up again around 2019 and have been really enjoying it again. The following picture was taken of me during an interschool competition in […]
Me as a baby Santa. Photo taken some during the 80’s.
I think I received this for Xmas around 1987. I actually wanted Mokey, but she was a girl and mum said only strange boys would want a girl teddy bear, so then I asked for Wembley, but she said that Wembley was a bit of a loser and that I actually wanted Gobo. I was […]
