Happy 50th AUO!

This year is the 50th birthday of the McKinsey Australian office. What a great time to be here! There was a great party last Friday night to celebrate the office's success. Everyone from Melbourne and Perth flew to Sydney for Values Day on Friday, which is one day a year when everyone in the company gets together to discuss our values.

This year they held it at Luna Park, which is an amusement park just under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We had an hour in the afternoon to go on the rides, which was fun. I have no pictures from this part of the day - but if I get any from Lane I'll post them another time!

After the rides it was time to party!! They decorated a ballroom in Luna Park and brought in a DJ. McKinsey Australia also has their own cover band - the Marvin's (named after McKinsey's founder) - who played some great tunes. The runner-up on Australia's The Voice also came to sing with them. It was a huge party. Our Global Managing Director Dominic Barton also attended which was nice.

Attached are some photos from the photobooth. The first is of my team (I'm too technologically challenged to get it to rotate the right way), and the last two are of me and KM (I only have half the photo, she has the original and seems to be too technology challenged to properly take a picture of it and send to me!). I also have one with Dom and the head of the Australian office, but didn't think it was a good idea to post that one!!
