The House 16 cocktail party.

On Friday, 8th August 1997, House 16 hosted a cocktail party as a farewell for Katy Gilkes, the then publicity officer for the Mount Stromlo Exploratory. Here are just a few pictorial reminders of the occasion, primarily for those who were there, but cant remember.

Anyone with further incriminating evidence is welcome to contact me so the full ambience of the evening may be experienced by others.

Some of these images are clickable imagemaps, to enable identification of the guilty subjects

Martin and Ben and the second appearance of the Siamese Twins costume. Ben is not nearly as drunk as he looks. Martin is much drunker than he looks.

Suzy - what did you just whisper into his ear?

1am: "Mmmm, that floor looks comfy."

Careful observers will note Mexican Man checking the underside of the table for chewing-gum.


Victory! Proof that meeting the Pope does not make you capable of out-drinking Noah Nandruku.

Careful observers will note that Mexican Man seems to have gone; he went searching the mountain for other things (a bucket I believe).


3am: ZZZZzzzzzzzz.........


5am: ZZZZzzzzzzzz.........

11am: ZZZZzzzzzzzz.........

Alas, my stamina faded and evidence of the post-party cleanup effort was not captured. Probably just as well.
