Today the whirlwind Jessica Watson Roadshow arrived in Melbourne, after originating in Brisbane yesterday.

A team of our loyal and dedicated Jessaholics arrived early in order to gain a good 'pozzie', which was rewarded with front row views, and personal acknowledgements by Jesse herself.

Our team also enjoyed a chat, autographs, handshakes....and for the VERY FORTUNATE......HUGS!!!

Added to this excitement was the arrival of Jesse Martin, who joined in the chit-chat and was happy to be photographed with our pals.

Along with many fellow Jessaholics, I'm secretly green with envy because I elected to stay at work...ssshhhh!!

  1. Good on you Collette
    Such good photos that bring back such good memories, and who were those lucky ducks that got a hug !!!!
    This is a day that we will remember for a long time to come. We sincerely thank Andrew Fraser for the opportunity to meet Jessica, Jesse was just everything that we had expected her to be. Our next big surprise was to meet Jesse Martin, and to be in the same place as these two Super Stars was really something.

    Thank you Collette for posting these photos.

    Cheers from Faye and Max.

  5. Oh guys, I so wish I was there to be part of the Jessaholics again. Never mind, my turn might come. You all look like you had a great time. Faye & Max just look so chuffed, a bit like meeting royalty. Well she is to us anyway.

    With love, Jacquie

  6. Hi Collette,

    This is the next best thing to actually being there ! Thanks for posting and just like you, a case of "so near but yet so far". Sadly, I had to work as well. Although I run my own business, my customers are very important to me and I was quite busy the day Jess visited Melbourne.

    Cheers
    Jonathan
