Young Achiever

Today we went to Melbourne to attend the Australian Institute of Builders award night dinner. Mark was to collect the coveted award of AIB Young Achiever of the Year. We stayed in the Casino Promenade hotel on the 21st floor with a lovely view of the Yarra and city beyond.

Mark was a bit nervous but had practised the acceptance speech over and over and he pulled it off without a hitch. He had a fantastic night hobnobbing with some interesting and influential people in the building industry.

The next day we took the tram to St Kilda and lunched near the beach. In the evening we dined at Nobu which was a great trendy Japanese restaurant (with South American influence) how appropriate for us. Apart from plenty of R&R and some good shopping at DFO, we didn't see much of Melbourne so will have to go again!
