This is my mum when she was just four years old. It was her
first school ball and she thought that she had the most beautiful
ball gown in the world.
|
This is my mum at her final school "ball" when
she was 15 years old. She was wearing a VERY DARING strapless
dress, and the nuns were NOT amused!
|
 |
 |
|
This is mum in her first real "grown-up" dress.
I believe it was called a "sack-dress" and she thought
she looked so sophisticated in it.
|
In her twenties - you can probably guess by the hairstyle
that my mum's twenties were a VERY LONG time ago!
|
 |
 |
|
Still in her twenties and just before she went to live in
Papua New Guinea. This picture was outside the flat she shared
at Darling Point in Sydney - it had a fabulous view of the
harbour.
|
Mum seems pretty happy to be graduating from University!
|
 |
 |
|
Mum spent most of her thirties in Papua New Guinea. She did
enjoy her time there, and began her appreciation of fine wines
and squash.
|
My mum has done some strange stuff in her time. Here she
is caving (spielunking I think it is called) in the mountains
west of Sydney.
|
 |
 |
|
Dressed up for a party in her fourties!
|
She learned how to play Squash in PNG and continued after
she returned to Sydney. She played OK and got an invitation
to enter the NSW State Championship!
|
 |
 |
|
I said she does weird stuff - here she is in the turret of
an APC - part of her military training - and she was into
her fifties here! Will she never learn!
|
She decided that she wanted to go up in a bi-plane and do
some aerobatics! I think she is getting more senile as the
years go by!
|
 |
 |
|
Well, once she reached her 60's, she thought she needed a
bit of help in the photo department, so she went to get some
"proper" photos taken. She is at an age when she
needs a bit of "camera expertise"!
