Xmas Party No. 2 - CBA Fortitude Valley Xmas Party

18 Nov 2007, Sunday - Kookaburra River Cruise, Brisbane Riverside

Unlike the LMS Xmas party, there's no dress code for the CBA Xmas party. We all met up at the Kookaburra River Cruise terminal along the Brisbane River.

We boarded the "cruise ship" and proceeded to the table allocated to us.











And when we've each got our seats, we proceeded to order our drinks...













and filling our plates with the buffet food and stuffing them down our throats...











We even have desserts - the very sinful pavlova (made out of nothing but loads of sugar and egg whites)....














The party is also a celebratory party for Emma who is expecting her first child. CBA colleagues chipped in for an early baby shower...














We felt bad about stuffing ourselves silly so we went for a little walk around the decks of the ship...






















Esmo's ex-colleague at MSY Technologies joined him in CommBank... Tim brought along his pretty girlfriend - Yudith...

While cruising along the Brisbane river, we saw....











This was before the election. I wonder how the person who drew this feels now, now that Kevin Rudd is the Prime Minister of Australia?

When the Story Bridge comes back into view two hours later, it signals the impending end to the Xmas lunch aboard the "cruise ship"...










Sydney has Harbour Bridge, Brisbane has the Story Bridge!!!











Waiting to embark from the Kookaburra River Cruise....

Thank you all, it was a wonderful lunch....
