Tropfest 2008

It only took is 20 minutes to get to Coogee Beach for our Sunday morning swim as there was barely any traffic. Chris only lasted 5 minutes in the waves as the water got in her eyes, nose and mouth! Dave on the other hand practised body surfing and is getting pretty good. But he also got tossed about a lot and scraped his spine on the sand pretty bad. A war wound... He was all lurd!


During the evening we went into town to meet Chris' old uni friend Jonny and his friend Edel. We went to (the free) Tropfest in The Domain, the cool open space in the midst of the skyscrapers. Tropfest is the world's biggest short film festival. Here is the link to it. http://www.tropfest.com


We watched 16 short films and two of the judges were Geoffrey Rush and Naomi Watts (which Chris was very excited about!) Bryan Brown from Cocktail and F/X was also there. The films were excellent and we got to spot some Glasvegas sights in the Scottish entry, (well Chris, Jonny and Edel did.) It was such a class event and the four of us really enjoyed ourselves.
