The national (Australia) Thanks Dad Photo Competition is on. This is the brainchild of 3 men, Chris Hawke, Michael Hawton and Greg Schlieman who have all been involved in men’s welfare issues and who wanted to bring positive images of Australian fathers to the attention of us all. There is so much ‘bad news’ about men or fathers these days, that these guys wanted to show the good side of fatherhood so they’re encouraging people to submit their photos by email or mail before Wednesday 25th August. Winners will be announced on Father’s Day 5th September. The “Thanks Dad” exhibition will tour libarires and community centres throughout the year. The website www.thanksdadphotos.org.au gives full details.
Below is a photo of my husband (on the right) and his best mate with one of our daughters in the middle. Miriam and Graham often went bike riding together and on this occasion it was a bike race in Beechworth in 2005.
