Week 248

ALBERT PARK LAKE --  AND A SOUTH AFRICAN INVASION!
 

This week's edition of the Cam is totally different from any previous one! For the first time ever
we focus on people this time. On Sunday, 3 February a group of well over 50 ex-South Africans
or South Africans newly arrived here congregated at Albert Park Lake for a picnic. It was an
opportunity for us to share our experiences, to meet new people, to assist new arrivals and in
general just to be able to speak Afrikaans and be with people who understand us as only fellow
countrymen or -women can.
The picnic was a huge success and will probably become a regular event.
 

1. Just after 11 am and it's still hazy over the city.

2. Getting to know you...

3. "Mmm where are the coals and the boerewors?". (Boerewors is a typically South African
sausage, made of a variety of meats, slightly coarse in texture and mildly spiced with coriander
and other spices)

4. The snapper snapped!

5. One wouldn't think that these people had been total strangers merely hours before!

6. A team effort, with experts galore.

7. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

8. For others life's pleasures are much simpler.

9. Holding forth, or all ears?

10. Mother and child.
