Darren and Kelly are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl, Malu. She was born on 21 Jan weighing in at 8lb 4.5 oz. A pretty little thing - she gets her good looks from her Mum.

In years to come she will have quite a tale to recount about her arrival into the world. As we understand it, Darren was on the boat off NZ when the news came that the baby would have to be delivered that day. 007 managed to get the boat to sail close to land where a speedboat was waiting to take him to shore. There a helicopter was waiting to take him to Auckland airport where an airplane was waiting for him. He was rushed through the Brisbane airport, then Mum sped up to the north coast hospital - arriving 20 mins before the big event.

We welcome our beautiful new niece and cousin to the world - and well done Darren (for making it to the birth in time) and Kelly (well, for doing all the work!).
