Australian Team leaving Melbourne Airport 24 July 2009

12pm 24 July 2009

Melbourne Airport Farewell was just wonderful with friends, media and the Minister for Sports and Recreation seeing us off at the Airport. The excitement is building! Even the Melbourne Airport staff and general public were congratulating us and wishing us best wishes right up until we got on the plane. People were stopping us wanting to know more!

1.20pm 26 July 2009

Well we have arrived in Belfast some 27 hours later. Two stops along the way with enough time to ensure that we had not left anyone behind! People from the plane and airports were asking lots of questions and wishing us best wishes along the whole way. Our uniforms proved to be a hit - we stood out in our Australian colours! The team have allocated their rooms and are having a well earned catch up on sleep whilst I do this blog at 1.20am Sunday am (jet lagged). In about 6hours the whole World Games will have Breakfast together for the first time. After this Team meeting and Opening ceremony. So keep posted for the next update!!

Gala Dinner for the Australian Team 4 July 2009

What a night it was. Some 280 people came along to support the Australian Team for the Dwarf World Games. Once the Auction, and formal part of the night was over, some serious dancing was done. If only everyone at the Gala Dinner could come with us to Ireland, we would have a wonderful cheer squad
