Staff Update
We have some baby news in July, with Sonam giving birth to a beautiful little girl on 25 July. Sonam spent three months at home before returning to the office in early November. Her mum has come over from Bhutan to assist her and her older daughter, who is 12, enjoying being a big sister!
Unfortunately, at the end of July, we lost Melissa Xing. Melissa had been with us for over a year and decided to go elsewhere to pursue a role in tax research. Melissa’s last day saw us have a few drinks at a new local bar called FOUND.
Holidays
West Aussies tend to travel to warmer places in July and August and it was evident again in the Perth office with quite a few staff getting away.
Sam and his wife went on a three-week trip to Greece and Albania. Attending a friend’s wedding in Greece, followed by some sight- seeing and R&R in Albania.
Eva travelled by the Prospector train to Kalgoorlie with her mum during the last weekend in September. Kalgoorlie is a gold mining town and also historically provided the Perth water supply via a 700km pipeline. The train line runs along the pipeline.
August being the coldest, wettest and most miserable month in Perth, Marty decided to escape to Broome for a little sunshine.
During August Sophie was away with her extended family for her mother-in-law’s 70th birthday celebrations that spanned a week in Cairns.
Our end-of-financial-year function was delayed until September. This year the Firm again participated in a cooking class. We all donned the aprons and attempted a Spanish Tapas class. We surprised ourselves with the feast we produced at the end of the afternoon!!
