The Maroubra Connection!



Talk about *connections*!!!
Pamela of Pamela's Beach House, happened to be googling Maroubra. (Her primary school. My high school.) That's how she found me and I found her beach house, at Greenfield Beach!
......
Walking on to Greenfield Beach, in order to photograph the subjects for my next series of paintings, I may very well have spotted the neighbour,

of the cousin (Are you still with me?) of a very good friend of mine, painting a picture, of Greenfield Beach, which this friend of mine, visited, *as a judge*, in the Keep Australia Beautiful, Clean Beach Challenge Competition , in 2001.)

The beach receiving an award, in this competition, at that time, as it did again, last year, for 2008!
I stayed in the studio: of Pamela's Beach House.

Maroubra Bay High School Reunion, 2009. Most enjoyable. ("Heartbreak High")


Lynne Anderson of Crescent Head Holiday Apartments, and ex-MBHS student, like myself, and I, thought it was a good idea!

It will be 50 years, in March 2009, since Maroubra Bay High School was officially opened and the last reunion, in 2003, at the Maroubra Seals Club was such a great success, some of us are keen for another!
We met up in Crescent Head, again, in 2007.

For the second time I was up there, assessing beaches, for the Keep Australia Beautiful Clean Beach Challenge and I stayed in the holiday apartments of Lynne and Tony Anderson.
*******

Now the organising committee has met and plans are under way, for all Maroubra Bay High ex-students to be invited to attend a reunion, in March, 2009. The venue to be confirmed.
*******

The 2003 reunion was for ex-students from the years 1959-1963.
