Hi Arthur,

We are really delighted that all at " our club" are doing so well. It wasreally only a matter of time ( and blood,sweat and tears!) before the Hawkins family stepped onto the world stage with the talent they have. How exciting that the name of Kilbarchan AA is up there with the best! Please wish them all the best from the McStays...we watch with interest and you can contact us to do the cheering should they compete in Australia!  

Well done to all our kids friends, which pretty much covers everyone! Keep eating healthy &training hard, it's worth it.

We have moved now to  Mena, NSW, Australia, and will be here until next Feb. We have been advised to rent until we decide where to settle, but it's a beautiful house, furnished and walk in condition. The kids fell in love with it. It has a huge swimming pool and Basketball court, a BBQ area, grassy area for ball games and a pool table. 

We have the National Park at the back door (fantastic for cross country runs!) and the most amazing sunsets at night. Our alarm call in the morning comes from a flock of white & yellow Cockatoos which share the trees at our back door with Kookaburras. 

The cockatoos screech, while the Kookaburras laugh...drowning out the noisy McStays perfectly! We are 'at one with nature' and I am sure the wildlife would say the same about us, haha!
