Vogue cover girl Samantha Harris modelled something very different from her usual catwalk couture for the Sydney Festival on Australia Day.

 

 

 

 

 

The David Jones model joined forces with pinup mate Jake Gordon and put on a GenerationOne T-Shirt to support the campaign and officially kick-off the 37th Ferrython race from Circular Quay.

“I hope in the future that one day there will be no stereotyped Indigenous Australians and that we’ll all be known as Australians with no labels,“ said Samantha.

Dear Friends

One of the major reasons we are doing this walk is to raise money for the children’s charity Viva, which does amazing work for children around the world. We are delighted to have now raised over US$17,000

Scuba Diving in Columbia

Posted on by

Check out diving in Columbia
http://scubatravel.co.uk/americas/colombia.html

Colombia is now much safer than it once was. It has diving in both the Caribbean and Pacific

See these testimonials and many others . . .

Providencia Island
“The most beutiful place I have ever been. There are many places to rent a boat and diving equipment. Cost may vary from season to season. I went in high season (Dec-Jan) and the price is approx $50 for one dive. Much better than other places such as Costa Rica. Not only the diving is amazing but the island is magical.”
Paula

Gorgona Island
” Gorgona island, until 1985, was a jail; it’s now a sanctuary. The land tours are great and you wlll see sharks, sea lions, dolpins, whale sharks, Whales (sometimes) and its not over populted with tourists. Gorgona was awesome, As good as the Galapagos. Colombia is more safe than the media would have you believe. ”
