Crawford and McGain, Late Again

Day 1, the resort looks fantastic, there is a commanding rock in the middle of the pool. As soon as we arrived 48 boys were on it jostling for King of the Mountain last night. As we sit here typing away, Steve Crawford managed to climb onto the rock without anyone looking. The boys quickly dispatched him much to his dismay and the fathers laughter.

The night wasn't too late, I managed to go to bed at 1:30am and the others were done by 2:00am, which is midnite Sydney time. The boys were tucked in and asleep by 11pm Fiji time, or so we thought! Coconut throwing onto roofs and balcony was reported by guests this morning between midnite and 2:00am, forensic tests are underway to determine whether it was the boys or the dads doing the throwing....

Barry Towns continued his fine form from Bilgola Surf Club to Fiji. He made his way back to his room at 2:00am to wake his bed buddie James Campbell to let him in. He is now known as Barfly Barry.


We had a full bench of the Kangaroo Court this morning. The Court quickly despatched rulings on one of their own, sentencing Angus and Fergus James to 24 hours of public humiliation or until they sing the song to Flipper in public for their disregard to "Tour Etiquette and Clothing".

The court had taken note of the Kiwi supporters on tour. Gene Burns, Kahu Andronicus and Nick Styler (for supporting the poms), for their sins, had to do the Haka. Video attached...

Each morning, after breakfast, we all meet in a conference room at 9:00am for a briefing of our coming days activities and any judicial matters to be dealt by the Kangaroo Court. At the end of todays meeting at 9:30ish Steve Crawford and his bed buddie Murray McGain stumbled in. Steve's excuse was that Murray "wanted one last cuddle". No doubt this will be dealt with harshly by tomorrow's court.
