Swimming Sports 2006 |
| The annual swimming sports carnival took on a Commonwealth flavour in 2006 as the Games were about to hit Melbourne. Naturally enough, one would expect at least one queen to officiate... |
|
|
|
| The crowd is excited... | The Queen Arrives | The Queen Waves |
|
|
|
| The Queen cuts it and the Games begin! | We all Slipped, Slopped and Slapped to avoid sunburn | Let's not mention the misspelling of "Gilmore", shall we? |
|
|
|
| Go Monash! | Go Flynn! | Go Chisholm! |
|
|
|
| Blue Fairies | If you wonder why there tend to be more pictures of girls... | ... girls tend to demand to be photographed much more than boys do. |
