 Floating
2002 was a pretty fun time, but it didn't include enough of that annoying yet rather necessary activity - work. There was plenty of partying, travel and good clean exercise though. I spent most of the year living in London (except for a leisurely holiday in Brisbane in March and April), then moved back to Australia in November when my visa finally died.
 

2002 Picture Galleries

In early December, Katie and I joined her friends Michael and Sonoko for a genuine adventure at the Outback Eclipse Festival in South Australia. It was a wild and crazy few days, with some great music, fun people and a stunning solar eclipse.
My final London party just had to be one more Orme Court Halloween bash, with the theme Haunted Hospital. All manner of doctors, professors, horny devils, undead and oh so sexy nurses filled the house to overflowing.
Having a name like mine meant that I had to visit Scotland at some stage, or else I'd be beaten senseless by my ancestors in the afterlife. So, I decided to walk The West Highland Way with my buddy George, from Glasgow to Fort William.
The residents of Orme Court proved they still had what it took to throw a grand event when they held their highly entertaining Jungle themed party, complete with trees, vines, camo netting and huge main tent in the front room.
I joined Gareth, Sarah, Katie and hundreds of other slightly cracked skaters for the Friday Night Skate, an exhilarating run through London's streets. Despite our best efforts, none of us managed to die or be maimed.
No UK summer is complete without the obligatory festival in a field, complete with tents, grass, panting doggies and booming sound systems. I hooked a lift with some kind Cambridge kids and headed north to Norfolk to catch some rare UK sunshine.
While in Australia in March, I was lucky enough to be taken out around Sanctuary Cove for my first shot at wakeboarding, with my friends Marcus and Naomi. The results weren't exactly pretty, but I did manage to stay upright for at least a few seconds.
While on holiday in Bris Vegas, I made sure to get down to Ballymore with Lachlan to enjoy the Super 12. This particular gallery is of the Reds vs Crusaders game, and features some rather yummy (but scarily young) cheerleaders.
In celebration of my 28th birthday and my impending departure to Australia for two months of sunshine and relaxation, a bunch of friends gathered with me at Le Mercury for dinner, wine, and scintillating conversation.
The charming folks at Orme Court held another fantastic event, this time a Red Hot Passion party for Valentine's day 2002. I donned a Marquis de Sade costume and joined the rest of the guests for a spectacularly scarlet evening.
The Cambridge crew set forth on a wild boat cruise down the Cam, to celebrate the birthdays of Matt and Bubbles. In line with Matt's temporal achievement, the party's theme was "forty" and produced some highly original costumes.
