A few months back I got a missed call on my phone. I googled the unidentified number, not expecting anything to turn up, but it did appear on a web page relating to the Rabbitohs. I was chatting to my friend at the time and joked how funny it was that out of all people, the rugby team mistakenly dialled my number. After all, I’m not a sports photographer and I’m one of those non sporty chicks without a single sporty bone in my body (unless you count my on and off attempts at the gym) so what could I possibly have to do with a rugby team?
“Maybe they want to talk to you?”, my friend pointed out. Unlikely, I thought, but of course I couldn’t just assume that it was a wrong number. I returned the call and to my surprise I had been referred to cover Peter Holmes a Court’s 4oth birthday party!
Kids, the moral of this story is – if the Rabbitohs office call you, you call them back. They don’t make mistakes =)
BTW Don’t forget to check out more photos in the slideshow at the end of the post.

Peter’s birthday was held at his farm a couple of hours out of Sydney. It was a relaxing event for the adults and a fun affair for the kids. We had a great time running around the place capturing all the activities that were going on through out the day.
We arrived at the farm a little ahead of schedule and had the pleasure of touring around the property with the lovely little miss Maddie.
Love these funky chickens.
The guests soon arrived and mingled on the lawn with drinks and nibblies.
The kids enjoyed themsleves with ball games, petting zoo, a jumping castle and quad bikes.
The highlight of the day was the quadbike. How? Keep looking.
Peter jumped in to save the bike! I couldn’t believe my eyes. It all happened so fast!
Now that was something you don’t usually see at a birthday party! Once all the quadbike excitement was over, everyone took it easy with lunch and hanging out by the fire.
An open fire nearby.
Of course, it isn’t a b’day without the cake, so go on, click it and enjoy the slideshow =)
Thank you to Peter and his family for having us along to capture all the great memories of this celebration of an important milestone.
