Adelaide Meet #3.....Any idea's?

[fozzie]

I will be coming in by car, and was going to park behind the Botanic Gardens and walk to the cnr of Gawler Place and North Terrace. I will be there at 5:15am. I will have to find out what time they open the gates to the area I intend to park, otherwise I will park in North Adelaide and walk down the hill.

Thanks for the invite guys but 5am is not in my Aussie discipline..I can do it in Africa, for weeks on end, but not Adelaide!

Sorry!

How about 05.20am at the front of the Torrens parade ground barracks on Kintore Ave?

Or is that too inconvenient for you because you'll have to back-track?

Cheers,

Mick.

That will be fine with me and hopefully others.

You have a good time as well. Sounds very busy to me, and I hope very rewarding for you as well, if you get my drift. Look forward to many of your shots .

[BBJ]

Thanks Fozzie, yes well i had an email from a photog from Rally sport magazine as he is coming and wants to maybe use some of my shots in there magazine so who knows.
I had a picture put in the local paper here today and they have butchered it, looks bloody horrid, so i have emailed them as i sent it to the young bloke who the pic is off and so who knows what they have done to it but i would not have put it in looking the way it did and put my name on it.

Fancy putting in a pic that looks crap as the original was perfect so i am not happy. LOL
Cheers

Checked out secure parking today. The only place I could find, was the Parking Station immediately behind the Royal Adelaide Hospital, entrance/exit off Frome Road. The Parking Station is open 24/7 and is about 10-15 minute walk to the Anzac Dawn Service and about the same walking time from the Adelaide Zoo back to the Parking Station.

I will check in later tonight, and also in the morning to see if any other additional people are coming.

Edit 1 : I'm leaving now: 0435/25 April, 2005.

Ta Ta For Now,

[mickwhit]

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

Lest We Forget.

Brilliant Dawn Service in Adelaide this morning, one of the best I've experienced. As 'The Ode' suggests; I took this shot At the going down of the sun in remembrance of the men and woman who have given their lives for their country and to give us the freedom we all take for granted. Thank-you. We are indebted to you all forever.

Thanks Fozzie for a nice morning. I especially liked breakfast. I am very interested in hearing about how your day panned out following our departure. I look forward to some samples soon. I trust you enjoyed your first Anzac Day Dawn Service and I hope to see you at more in the years to come.

Cheers,

Mick.

[fozzie]

Mick,

I had a most enjoyable morning at the Dawn Service. Then immediately after meeting your wife, mother-in-law, and Gran, then followed by breakfast at the Pancake Kitchen. I hope I have all the names right.

I stayed in North Terrace, City until about 12:30pm and then meet up with Mark/xorl at the Adelaide Zoo at about 12:50pm. The day ended at about 3:45pm, and I am exhausted.

Will try to posts some pictures of North Terrace and the Adelaide Zoo tomorrow night.

Once again, thank you for this morning.
