First pics/report from Rob (Sleddog) + Trish's visit to Perth Australia

I arrived back into perth on Sunday afternoon and in the evening headed over to meet Rob + Trish at their hotel for a quick beer

For those that don't know Rob and his wife Trish are over in Oz on their yearly visit from Canada

This is the first time we've met after more than 18 months of TRF internet frivolity

Well..that turned into beers at little creatures then dinner at my favourite local pizza joint

Was a fantastic evening..and lovely to meet such warm people...liked them instantly

I was wearing my PAM183 on a new JV strap...Rob was smittenSo...Panera i lovers..we have another who is thinking about coming to the 'dark side'

Rob brought his SD and GMT 2C TT as per my request

Sorry..no pics on my camera from that night..but they took a couple so Rob will doubtlessly post them when he can.

But..I do have a couple of pics from last night when they came over to our place and had dinner with us

Simply a TOP evening....:chee rs:

Dinner was cooked by my lovely wife Alison...Pink Snapper on a bed af garlic mash..asparagus + salad....

One or two beers...followed by a gorgeous Chardonnay with dinner...topped of with some top notch Vodka...

TRF..this is what it's all about...meeting people face to face...and discovering new friendships

Rob and Trish..you are lovely

Tomorrow night is the main GTG - will be attended by 10 +....restaurant right on the beach...it's going to be fantastic

There will be LOTS of pics from that..but here are a couple from dinner at ours last night..

OH...and Rob wore my DSSD all evening..and I sported his GMT2C TT.....I think we may both have found our next purchase

Rob found the DSSD to be extremely comfortable...and it looked awesome on you mate

and YES: I'll admit..he found a sticker

Rob + me:


Trish + our little boy Shaylan - he simply adored her




Rob + my DSSD





Rob + Trish + Alison (my wife) + Shaylan (my son):

That dinner sounded delicious, and by the look of the photos it was I can't see any sign of it

Thanks for the invite Dalip & Alison, unfortunately we couldn't make it but very much looking forward to the Major GTG tomorrow

@Rob, that DSSD looks smallish on your wrist, only joking, it looks pure!

Great pics again Dalip, Thanks for sharing.

Hey, hey!

Thanks for posting Dalip.

Well Rob, finally get to see you larger than Avatar size. Are you sure you are not related to Dan / Spuds?

Seriously, nice that you all had the family pre-GTG. Look forward to the shin-dig docu-photos soon!

As nice as the photos are / will be, the fact that Rob may come to the dark side (Panerai) tickles me to no end!!! Good on ya Dalip for the conversion tactics!

They do look like distant brothers don't they!




I need to get down there to Oz. Quite an adventure from where I am located.

great pics Dalip - make sure you tell Rob to put some sunscreen on that bald head or he'll end up leaving with sunspots and cancer

(Rob, from one bald guy to another )
