Action photography on the Manorburn Dam

There was lots of pond hockey on the Manorburn dam. But of course, I and anyone else with a camera was playing in it! So I don’t have any photos of me playing :( But here’s some action photos of the others.

Trip to the Manorburn Dam

After some wickedly cold temperatures in Alexandra, I took Sarah, Jane and Kara through to Alexandra to go skating on the Manorburn dam. This was the first time I’d skated on it since I was about 12! Stu McLennan has kindly lent me the former Matt Mobile while he’s away in Australia which we used to make our way to the dam. Thanks very much Stu :)

Ice coverage was pretty decent, up to about 15cm in some parts.

Some people were even skating right up to the edge of the dam. But I didn’t have the guts to try that!

Sally’s inaugural professorial lecture

We had another Brooker Bunch group photo done. This time was by a professional photographer and will be used in advertising for Sally’s inaugural professorial lecture. As you can tell, I’m not a big fan of having my photo taken :(
