Sunrise at Coogee


Greetings to you all !

Aren't our rugby team, The Waratahs playing well ? That should liven a few of you up..........................

Well it was time for the Sydney Children's Hospital Course in Paediatrics ( 26th ) again this week so off I went for three days of intense peppering. I looked back at my email from last year and was reminded how impressed I had been then - I was not disappointed this time either but although I probably have no right to feel this way, I was saddened by the increased number of South African Paediatricians at the Conference and by the reports that 6 more had been interviewed over the past couple of months.

Coogee is a suburb in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and its beautiful beach shows how much more there is to Sydney than The Opera House and The Harbour Bridge. I decided to stay there this year and had a 20 minute walk to the SCH up the road in Randwick. This picture was taken on Friday morning when I found I had a bit of time unlike on Saturday morning when I was scrambling after a late night following the Course Dinner, a few drinks at the Clovelly Hotel and a 2 am visit to the notorious Coogee Bay Hotel from where we escaped unscathed.............in some respects.

During the week Bron put up her hand to coach the Under 13 Taree Tigers Boys team and they promptly won their Saturday morning game 6 - nil. Matt also played in the Under 16 game where they were soundly beaten. He had got up in the early hours to watch South Africa win the 20/20 against Australia and had his quietest Saturday afternoon on record. Jen could not repeat her heroics of the previous week and her game ended in a nil all draw.

All is well in Taree and Autumn is slowly announcing its presence.

All the best and have a great week.

With love

Dylan, Bronwyn, Matthew and Jennifer
