  15. I was waiting for a flight at Sydney airport a few years back & Natalie Bassingthwaihte was at the next table with 2 men. She was wearing dark sunglasses. When she got up to leave she smiled at us as she walked past. That's the closest I've ever been to a celebrity. Congrats on your 250th post.

  21. Deb what a great buzz for you, meeting Hugh and he signed your book!
    A few years ago I met Joe Camilleri from Aussie band The Black Sorrows, in the Broome airport. He was not too happy as all the band equipment was flown to the wrong airport! But he was terribly charming and friendly anyway...
