My Family around the Globe

I set this up because my parents and siblings are now scattered all around the planet. (Although there now appears to be a gravitation towards eastern Australia and New Zealand - not sure which island)

Dad found our road while visiting in the UK. We also have a road in Trafalgar Beach, KZN South Coast

John and Pat Collingwood (Dad and Mom to some of us, Grandad and Granny to the rest - and now even Great- to a few more)

John and Pat (Mom and Dad to us) live in Endeavour Hills, a ward of the City of Casey, outside Melbourne in the state of Victoria, Australia.

Dad has been taking photographs for decades, first wth emulsion based film and now with digital cameras. He has a photo gallery site supplied by a friend here.

Chris and Veronica Collingwood

All dressed up for a work function in Durban, South Africa 2004

I am Chris, the eldest son, married to Veronica and we variously have 4 children, Tracy, Ryan, Wendy, and Nikki. Tracy is married to Johan, and they have 2 boys, Tyler (born in 2000) and Jordan (born in 2002).

Ryan works for CoSoft, a company that creates and maintains a comprehensive Point of Sale and Sales Management system for the hospitality industry. He is now employed as a developer.
He is married to Nirilei and they have two children, Gwyddian and Ariyan. Pictures will follow.

The closest weather station to home (Cedara) shows this current weather....

Gerard and Jenny Collingwood

Gerard is next, married to Jenny. They have two children, Roxann and David. They live in Brisbane, again.

Peter and Mandy Collingwood

They also want another picture in here, so as soon as it arrives this one will also change.

Peter is married to Mandy. They have two girls, Alexandra and Caitlin. They live in Narre Warren, another ward of the City of Casey, so they score the captive baby-sitters.

Teri Collingwood-Mercer and Paul Mercer

Teri and her husband Paul have moved to Melbourne, Australia. They visited South Africa for 3 weeks while in transit. They now live reasonably close to the folks and Peter (which means they are candidates for babysitting).

Frank Collingwood

Francis (AKA Franc) lives in Aukland, New Zealand. His sons, Marc and Jason, are staying near there too. Frank is a railway modeller, specializing in SAR equipment.

I work in the IT Security Industry, so this page is interesting to me. Things are not good when the graph gets into the orange or red.
