Mel's pups

Mel's dogs had 5 pups (kelpies cross labradors???) 2 guys and 3 girls....all a bunch of tough nuts except for one.

This little bloke decided to give me the innocent cute look after taste testing my shoes and jeans...little bugger

Good luck getting those car keys back

This was the placid one that thought I was more useful as a pillow....we were going to get a pet elephant then a pet puma in our pink bunker....this has to be close!

Ashlee's 21st

Yet another 21st, but this one was even more special for my girl Ashlee! A close group of family and friends mingled in the 'chocolate room' (somewhere near Point Lonsdale). Gourmet food and wine was enjoyed along with the good company which made the lunch an almost perfect 21st party for Ash!

Happy Birthday baby!

Mt. Roland

Waking up at 7am on Sunday morning with an outside temperature of 1 degree made us even more determined to climb Mt. Roland regardless of rain or sunshine. There was no way I was getting up at this time for no reason at all no matter how bad the weather conditions we were climbing this mountain!

Arriving at the foot of Mt. Roland and gazing up at the sleepy giant surrounded by mist, unable to see the top of the mountain and with rain starting to come down still did not deter our unbreakable spirits of man vs. nature. It was a battle of common sense vs. our pride of being defeated. Being blokes (except for Ash)have a guess which one won?

Representing TAS was Ben Atkins, VIC (Ash Heritage), NSW (Ben Campbell) and QLD was yours truley. With such a broad pedigree still no sensible solution was achieved.

Ash, Ben Campbell, Ben Atkins

Cool little waterfalls. Sorry about the photo was hard trying to keep my camera still with my shaky ice cold hands

Kick arse tree growing around a rock

Campbell lining up for a delayed group shot. Wonder who is more sophisticated and intelligent? SLR camera or Campbell?

Beautiful things are always treacherous!

On top of the Plateau. You can see the path we were walking on had turned into a stream of water and rocks. Ash & Ben looking a tad wet and cold

The track that was leading us to the top of the mountain which is in the background, yet you cannot see it due to the harsh weather conditions.

Campbell, Atkins & Ash. This gives you a better shot of what we were walking in. This was easy compared to our hike up rocks and mud before hand

It was at this point that we had a group meeting and an executive decision was made to turn back and accept defeat. I also did not want to end up on the 5pm news with video footage of us being rescued by an energex helicopter. Some say we should not have even gone up there but at least we had the common sense to turn back.

Some absolute brainless so and so from NSW suggested we should climb the mountain in time for a sunrise photo. This means a night climb which will start around 2am due to the 3.5 hour climb it takes to the top. Its hard to understand how NSW won the last origin with ideas like this?

Random cruze 2

Another random cruze whilst it was pelting rain. I would have taken more photos but I like colour in my photos and not just grey

Welcome to Bridport at the northern tip of Tassy.....don't blink you will miss it. Even the locals couldn't tell us what there was to do in town. Almost makes you feel sorry for them...

Our touring car...wonder how she will go in targa? don't think my co-driver would be impressed

hmmm, yet another jetti constructed by AMC engineers

Maybe not....these photos don't show any empty goon bags or cans floating around...probably UTAS scum then

Random cruze

Just a random cruze Ash and I decided to do whilst being bored one day...not that you ever get bored in tasmania???? The one thing I love about Tassy is that its an interesting place and there is always somewhere to drive to.....(warning high level of sarcasm used).


Oil rig at Beauty Point...Ash asks "is it pumping oil?...and why does it have those 'strings' attached to it and the warf when it has those massive anchors"??

At the lookout at Greens beach near sunset

Don't worry about paying $2.50 national park fee...they threaten you with a $50 fine if you don't pay but they are skirts.....thankyou anonymous comments I understand your point which is very valid and true but I enjoy a good 'debate' when I'm bored no matter how wrong I am...As for the pulp mil....who gives a rats? You could say i'm just a stubborn 'mainlander' but hey...its prob tru!

Furthermore feel free to leave comments but please don't swear as it just shows ur lack of vocabularily even when you have time to think about what you are going to say and youngins may view this website. As for me it is my site and i can say whatever i want no matter how politically wrong. Cheers!

Liz's 21st

To celebrate Liz's 21st B'day the gappies from gramma, other randoms plus us representing the AMC possy joined Liz at the Prickly Cactus. Fish bowls were the only things on our minds, whilst not forgetting the task at hand, which was to make sure Liz got absolutely trolleyed....us AMC crew always strive to do the best in our studies so why not drinking? However both do not mix well!

The B'day girl


Gramma tutors + gappies & AMC representatitives

B'day girl receiving a kiss from Ash


Steph, Tom (bloody pom's), Leigh, myself
No fish bowls for me but in tru yobbo style I have a jug of cactus juice and a beer glass to down it with (all I know is that there is like a quarter of a bottle of midori in it)


When the group decided to split up we taxied out to the casino to chilax...how phat is that water fountain in the back left!

You know after fish bowls the level of conversation and the types of photos taken are going to go down hill

Happy 22nd Maroney

Beginning at the Northern Club (originally known as a gentlemens club), we all gathered for Moroney's 22nd bday to have dinner and a piss up... not that we needed an excuse, pretty soon we will be able to write these gatherings off as 'client meetings' folks.

At the start of the night, the birthday boy himself, pretty sure that was Becks but he wouldn't remember that!


One of the many photos taken whilst waiting for our dinner to come...or christmas that is, not to sure which one came first? As long as the beers were flowing we didn't seem to realise we were still waiting for our dinner until dinner turned into a midnight supper

You just know by the amount of concentration involved in pouring that beer, that will be the best tasting beer you will ever have

Not sure what Maroney is thinking here but it has been almost 2 hours since we ordered our dinner...don't think I would be much of a meal anyway

Benny and his misses

Group shot at the Royal on George...in true AMC style there is 3 girls to 8 blokes...maybe you blokes should take up Human Movement??

Theres always one in the photo...sorry about that folks

This is the face of success (from his mates perspective that is)!!! After 5 shots in under 20 mins at the Royal that included tequila sunrise, flamming lamborghini and absinthe, and however many pints of beers we bought Maroney he was still unaffected...until the Irish was visited.

Finally a photo of Dave...In true UTAZ form sitting in the non-alcoholic section. What a skirt! Who cares what he is holding in his hand thats besides the point.

Maroney (hammered finally), Breyley, Hank, Rhiannon, Ben at Irish

Campbell, Atkins, Hank, myself acting sober

HAHAHAHAHAH thats gold!!! Ben I told you to look out for that bloke in the corner of the bar...how are you going to explain this to your misses?

You in competition with Ash and I?

Maroney good night mate...we decided to give the taxi driver a tip for putting up with us and your inability to hold back stomach fluids!
