Good evening sir, madam, or if in a group, one and all.

Welcome to the 2009 Safari Tour.

My name is John, and I’ll be your safari guide this evening.

At Safari Pty Limited, our professional and dedicated team of professionals are dedicated to ensuring that your Safari tour is a memorable and once in a lifetime annual experience.

If you look around you will see several staff members like me, please do not hesitate to ask them for guidance or directions to maximise your pleasure and enjoyment of the evenings proceedings.

As you can see will be commencing the evening with a meet and greet on the banks of the beautiful river torrens. Shortly we will be departing for an hour cruise on the beautiful river torrens, after which you can relieve yourself in the public amenities of the festival centre. Please be sure to wash your hands.

We will then be proceeding in an orderly fashion to the Cavern, which is styled reminiscently to echo those heady days of the 60’s, when the fab four were belting out the Mersey beat in Liverpool, getting ready to take on the world. Please take a moment to peruse the popular music memorabilia on display in this heritage listed museum of popular music & culture.

We will then be proceeding in an orderly fashion to the treasury hotel, where you can enjoy the Victorian ambience of a historically significant building, and splendid beer garden with adjacent water fountain, while sipping a cold beer and or cocktail, talking casually with your friends, or possibly meeting that someone special.

For those still with a tiger in the tank, the younger ones will then be kicking on at the hippest nightclub in town, the The Dragonfly, where a disc jockey will play music specifically for dancing.

Can I interest you in a champagne or cold beer to commence?

At around 5pm on Friday 27 November it was quite stormy and it appeared as though Safari 2009 might get a bit wet.

By 7pm, however, things had cleared up and everyone made their way into town. Let the pictures tell the story.

This is only the beginning. There is more to be told.

As safari 2009 is in full organisational swing here’s an update of who’s in the Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame inductees are those who go above and beyond in a safari sense but they are also the organising committee of the annual safari pub crawl event.

It all started in 2001 when John was the inaugural inductee into the Hall of Fame.

In 2002 it was Sal and Maz.

And as that’s all I ever got around to putting on this website, it’s now time to catch up from the last six years.

2003

We welcomed Trev in 2003. I think it was the combover wig that did it. That’s definitely going above and beyond the safari call of duty.

2004

It was Cath’s turn in 2004. Underneath that hideous lovely macrame owl she’s eight months pregnant. That’s gotta deserve a gong.

2005

Toni otherwise known as TP has always been wearing 70s stuff and accessorising it beautifully ever since I knew her so she had to be a shoe-in.

2006

Jen, aka the person doing this website, won in 2006 pretty much for doing the website. Talk about going above and beyond the call of duty. Now I get to do the website and help organise the annual pub crawl too. Mmmm.

2008

In 2007 there was no safari pub crawl as Gus was away and the rest of the committee took a break that year.

In 2008 Kazz (aka Polly Waffle) was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Now when you see us at safari 2009 say hi (if you don’t know us already) and feel free to buy us a drink, cause we deserve it.
