Our Aussie friends-The Hirst Family!






Wow! How do you put into words the gratitude we have for our dear Aussie friends, the Hirst family! We first met Antony and Michelle while travelling in Italy more than 14 years ago! Shortly after meeting them, we also visited them in Melbourne in January 1996. Although it had been a very long time since we have seen them, we spoke to them just about every Christmas since then, and exchanged letters and photos of our families. How fortunate we are to have them as our friends! Our visit with them on this trip at their home in Mount Martha was absolutely fabulous! They graciously invited us into their home and shared their beautiful part of Australia with us. We spent just over two weeks with them and everyday was so special! Many of our highlights were the four birthday parties for Henry, Lauren, Cameron and Jack, the early morning ocean swims, beach days, jumping off the cliffs, visits to wineries and botanical gardens, beautiful meals together, and catching up with dear friends. It is very difficult to put into words how we feel about how grateful we are to the Hirst family and how you have made our trip to Australia so special! We feel privileged to have you as friends! Thank you so much and we can hardly wait to welcome you to Canada!
