About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

One of Jessica Dunn's Bundles from May 2022 was called the Wild Horses Bundle. So I was thinking, Wild horses huh? Nothing more wild than mustangs and brumbies. And one of my all time favourite movies was all about the brumbies. So let's do that!!
The Man From Snowy River!!!
Also, it has been exactly 40 years since the first movie was released. I was 18 years old in 1982 and I had a huge crush on the leading young man who played the possible love interest. When I discovered the original ballad on which this movie was based, I was hooked!! I love both of the movies, the casting, the locations and especially the music!!
The first movie follows the story of the source material. A ballad (an epic poem of 13 stanzas) written by Banjo Patterson back in 1890. It tells the story of a chase to capture "the colt that got away" in the Great Dividing (Mountain) Range of Australia. The sequel movie was nothing more than the required love story to follow up the "loose ends" from the first movie. Not that the second movie was not good. I love a good romance story and I certainly enjoyed the sequel. But I much preferred all the riding action from the first movie!!

Love the page. I'm from South Oz and this is one of my favourite DVDs I regularly rewatch. Years ago I did a King and I layout, now I have another project in mind. Thank you.
