What happened in 1999??

December 31 1999

December 29 1999

It's been raining  since Christmas, until today which is fine and sunny. Last night we had all the family home for dinner - goodness knows when we will all be together again, as Martin is off to Mt Isa next month, and Coley drove back to Mackay today, & leaves for the UK in March .. but we're hoping Coley will be able to return for Martin and Wendy's wedding later in the year.

December 25 1999 - Happy Christmas everybody!!

Christmas! We were joined by Harvey's mum, plus all the Sandersons (Harvey's sister's family), and enjoyed eating a hot Christmas dinner on the deck - turkey, pork and ham, plus lots of goodies, including some raspberries (for Judy!). Luckily the weather remains cool for Christmas.

Friday December 24 1999 

Monday December 19 1999 - Christmas is close!!

The shopping is done, the weather is good, the rum balls and fudge are in the fridge, the Xmas cake is made, and Coley will be heading for home tomorrow. So roll on Christmas .. we're ready for you!

Monday December 12 1999 - Christmas Lights!!

Congratulations to our neighbours, Wally and Bev, who have once again won the prize for the best display of Christmas Lights in Brisbane!
The lights look magnificent - come and have a look!

Welcome to newcomers to the SMITH site!
It is great to have some input from around the world, with site "visitors" including John and Annette from Timaru, Lois and Donald from Tauranga, and now "Snu" from Israel, an old school friend who I haven't heard from for nearly 40 years - Hi SNU!!

Saturday Nov 25 1999 - Martin and Wendy are engaged!!

Congratulations to Martin and Wendy who announced their engagement on returning from a weeks holiday at Brampton Island!

Martin also has a new job with MIM, and will be moving to Mt Isa in January. Wendy will be continuing working at Ernest Henry Mine near Cloncurry, and "not too far" from Mt Isa!

The Stephan family and the Smith family are all DELIGHTED at their engagement, and will be looking forward to a wedding in the new millenium.

Friday Nov 6   1999

H&J returned from 5 days camping at Fraser Island - what a beautiful place! Unfortunately the weather was somewhat unpleasant at times - windy, and quite cooool. Only one swim for the week! But the solar shower was great! The dingoes managed to unlatch the catch on an eski the first night, but all they got for their troubles was some milk and juice, and everything locked in the vehicle after that! We drove up the beach to Indian Head, and Champagne Pools, plus through the interior to the rainforest of Central Station. Tides were quite high, & the beach quite rough in places. Fishing NOT good, but enjoyed a few dart for breakfast.

Tragedy! The ALL BLACKS beaten by France! How did it happen????

Saturday October 23   1999

The painting of lounge/hallway is finished, and the deck is painted too. Good!
And two loads of topsoil have made it to the lawn! Good!
Rumour has it we may see the Wazzas soon. Good!!
And today Judy finally managed > 36 Stableford points - may lose a stroke, and get the handicap down to 23 again! Good!!

Yesterday Harvey and Martin both won trophies in the "A.J. Smith Memorial" event at Ballandean Clay Target Club. Harvey was 2nd in AA Grade, and Martin won 2nd in C grade. Martin also won the C Grade Single Barrel and the C Grade High Gun.
Today we fielded a team in the MIM Social Golf tournament at St Lucia Golf Club, with one MIM employee (Martin), and 3 ex-MIM'ers - Harvey, Judy and Don. We scored 4 under (gross!!) but not good enough to win! However Harvey won a nearest-the-pin, and Martin won the long drive with a scorcher on the 18th.

Received an email from Andrew (cousin) in Auckland, NZ - so now we'll have to further internationalize our News!
