phillip island

30th-mar-2008 - posted by dtra

well, everyone at work (well, just the it team) went to phillip island (i'd never been before) for the weekend, as part of team building exercises. we stayed in some pretty posh accommodation, silver water resort in san remo, just across the bridge from phillip island. the weather was pretty ordinary, cloudy and wet the whole time, but it did clear a bit today. everyone got a room/apartment to themselves, two big ones per floor, and two smaller ones. the big ones had a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, two balconies, couch, washing machine, and they all had foxtel and lcd tvs (ordinary ones). we did work, played wii and xbox, a game of no rules basketball (my team won and got $50 jb vouchers). we went go karting at phillip island today, before coming home.

i got second (no prize though), a few of us hung around and had a second go at the gokarts, and saw our times improve again. that was fun, as the track is a replica of the actual phillip island grand prix track, although the carts didn't seem too fast, they did get over 50km/h, probably just the straight where it was like they were at top speed at the top of the straight, and you didn't get any faster all the way down to the turn.

sorry, i haven't posted much news in the past week or so, but it's a bit depressing not having my camera gear at the moment.
