Graduation Ball - Australian Command and Staff College 2007

Hi everyone! Here are photos from last night’s (December 1, 2007) Australian Command and Staff College Graduation Ball. I will write more when I get a chance. Right now we are swamped with our upcoming relocation to Canada (via a 12 day vacation in New Zealand followed by Christmas in Victoria B.C!). The evening was wonderful, amazing, fabulous! Good food, free (mostly!) drinks, great music, lots of dancing (Ian, you're so smooth...!), even better company, all resulting in an electric atmosphere at The Great Hall in New Parliament House. See for yourself……!






















Ian and I outside of Parliament House. The white building in the distance is Old Parliament House. Behind that (out of view) is Anzac Parade and The Australian War Memorial.
