Aussie Family BBQ Extravaganza

This weekend we pulled off no less than two big family events, covering both sides of the gene pool.


L to R: Kate, Aunty Margaret, Uncle Malcolm, Margot (Kate's mum), Uncle Ken, Counsin Ellen, Aunty Cathy, Cousin Tom and Kate's brother Dan.

On Saturday, it was BBQ by the Yarra with mum's relatives; aunties, uncles and cousins. It was fantastic-after organising a wasp decoy (beer and burnt chop bones work a treat).

On Sunday it was another hot one, 35 degrees of that all too familiar dry Melbourne heat, and another BBQ but this time with a Hampel flavour. D and I finally got to meet Dad's girlfriend Kerry's children. The family tree continues in all its complex and beautiful glory!


Clockwise: Aunty Faye, Uncle Bruce, Kerry (Bill's girlfriend), Dave (Kate's main squeeze), Emma (Kerry's daughter), Petra (Kate's sister from Bill's 2nd marriage), Bill (Kate's dad) and Kate.
