Random Photos

Thursday May 4th - Today we mostly practiced our routes under blindfold with the long cane. So I decided to post some random photos instead of giving you the blow by blow details of cane travel.


This is Shane, the occupational Therapist at GDV. He is modeling a popular haircut here in Australia called a 'Mo'. It's sort of like a Mohawk but without the shaved sides. People often will dye the Mo different colors.






Pete Tomlins and Justin Marshal at Open Day. Both are Guide Dog Instructors and mostly work with clients. They are sharing a string of dogs to train now to see is they can balance client work and dog training together.



Me and Dave Markham the breeding manager at Open Day.





This little boy is a North Melbourne Kangaroo fan at the Footy game. There are face painting stations outside the gates for the kids (and adults). I'm not much of a kid fan, but he was pretty cute. (Photo by Susan)






I took this one for my boss Charles who is a cricket fan.
It is a bigger than life statue of Bill "Ponny" Ponsford, a famous cricket player. He was the first player to make two scores of 400 or more in first-class cricket. He played 29 tests from 1924-1934 scoring 2122 runs at 48.22. He averaged a remarkable 86.28 for his state and amassed 13,819 runs for Australia and Victoria at 65.18. He was an inaugural inductee into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 1996
