I knew that today’s date was something special but thought nothing of it. Life went on as usual. I was working that day picking up new students arriving for the new semester. We had a barbecue that evening as two of our friends had acquaintances starting university.
Coincidentally, there was seven of us that evening. As Andy phrased it best ‘7 mates gathered on the 7th day of the 7th month on the 7th year of the new millennium.’ It was great catching up with friends you’ve not met in person for sometime. I hope the new students enjoyed themselves and not feel too sad about leaving family and friends behind. At least they got a taste of the Australian lifestyle and probably a little too chilly Tasmania weather.
*Thanks Andy for the wonderful pictures taken that evening.
