The above listing of attendees is obviously alphabetical. The photo is not so arranged (and some escaped being photographed at all (e.g., Warwick Cathro!)). But, if you must move forward on our motto of “Execute with Accuracy and Dispatch,” people with a surname beginning with “W” are in the lower right-hand corner of the photo (right where you’d expect to find a “W” ... yeh, the one in the shorts (on the right, that is!)).
Kattemingga
Kattemingga is an aboriginal word which means “Hill of Trees Haunted by Spirits.” The lodge is located about 75 minutes from Melbourne (only 50 if Stu is driving) with horses, gracious hospitality, bushwalking, birdwatching, or just sitting in the shade of magnificent old eucalypts trees. The lodge has a high vista across the Wombat State Forest and contains Peterson’s Ridge–the re-created 1890 village used for the T.V. series “The Man from Snowy River.” Our group photo (above) was taken in the village. We also had our first meal together at Kattemingga there in the village–a wonderful barbeque under the stars with a full moon rising over the jail. Yes! Even so, we got a lot of work done.
We owe a heap of thanks to Liddy Nevile for arranging our stay at Kattemingga. And, of course, we have to thank Australia for just being so beautifully there, and, for being summer “down under” for some of us.
The thought of our spirits haunting those trees has a few of us very concerned ... however, we have no more official comments at this time (although some of us have consulted legal counsel regarding our potential liability for injuring the “spirit” of national treasures)!
Also, lots more photos were taken and will be added here under a separate link for those with sufficient bandwidth (and interest).
