Senior Resident Advisor
Penny Hall
Penny is likened to Mary Poppins as she well known for having absolutely anything and everything on hand in her handbag of tricks or on her person at any one time. She once came to the rescue of an unlucky ferret suffering a major chafing attack with a miraculous bottle of baby powder! And was recently seen at a local pub with a bottle of hairspray in her shoe!? Penny is also known to be quite skeptical of the newly appointed Rudd-Government. She regularly questions their initiatives including recently when she was quoted: “National Sorry Day? What? I thought it was National Slurry Day!?”

Nickname: Kenny, Kenneth, Pen.
Favourite Pastime: Post-Nott bush diving, 24-hour K Mart shopping, chillin’ at the Farrer Shop.

Resident Advisor
Dean Narramore
It is said that the local Mildura economy fluctuates extraordinarily with the coming and going of their main man Deano. Not only is he the main tourist attraction in his hometown but local businesses such as Fab Kebab’s are known to profit largely upon his return. Deano is notorious around Farrer for his extremely animated story-telling. So much so, that for people lucky enough to enjoy one his good-old yarns, it is absolutely crucial they maintain at least a one metre clear radius around him at this time. This was exemplified in a nasty story-telling episode last year where Deano knocked out 6 by-standing ferrets with his unpredictable hand movements.
Funny Facts
Nickname: Deano, Behemoth, Weapon-head.
Favourite Pastime: Storm chasing, all night raving, fad diets.
Would you believe? Rumours surfaced during RA camp that Deano may have a history of eating children..

Resident Advisor
Madeleine Honner
Madeleine is currently the subject of an intriguing Monash University research investigation branded the ‘phe-honner-nomenon’. Events of late sparked the hype, when Mads ceased (for extended periods) her usual incessant talking - her record for uninterrupted sentences of friendly babble stood at 142! Latest reports indicate that unfamiliar build-up of energy in Mads’ vocal cords may be prompting her bizarre bodily reactions. Many ferrets also believe that young Madeleine is the heiress to a mysterious acreage in her local Penola district featuring an amazing endless river of goon. This is the best recent explanation that can account for the astounding volume of goon that this girl produces (and later diminishes) in her room and around the traps at Farrer.
Funny Facts
Nickname: Mads.
Favourite Pastime: hiring local demolition crews to wreak havoc in her room.
Would you believe? If Mads had bothered to recycle all of her used drink containers at collection depots in her native
South Australia during her short life, she could have funded Shane Warne’s mobile bill for a whole month!

Resident Advisor
Eddie Moles
The small township of Leongatha is growing in stature with the steady international rise of their favourite daughter. Not only has Eddie made it big in Norway, but it is whispered that her African television debut isn’t far away. Just quietly, she is said to be starring in a new Ethiopian TV series ‘The Biggest Winner’. A lesson many-a-ferret has learnt about this girl, is to never partake in a duel with her on the Notting Hill Hotel see-saw. Not only will she mop the floor with you, but more often than not you will find yourself in the next taxi home.
Funny Facts
Nickname: Ed, Weens, Moley-snatch, Mole-face.
Favourite Pastime: Post-nott shenanigans with her partner in crime Brooke.
Would you believe?
Eddie is poster girl for Norwegian sperm banks and
has reportedly played a big role in keeping them in business over recent years.

Resident Advisor
Sharon Taylor
Sharon’s loving and caring nature has quickly made her very popular up in the Farrer high-rise. Her unparalleled mothering and nurturing qualities have earned her the nickname ‘Mum’ among her 3rd Commons disciples. In fact, several residents have reportedly made enquiries to adoption agencies in regards to making her nickname more official... Numerous other Farrersites are very envious of Shaz’s growing celebrity status, as her 3rd Commons shrine was recently short-listed to become one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. (For those interested, short tours of the room are now available.)
Funny Facts
Nickname: Shaz, Shazza, Mum.
Favourite Pastime: Dominating Green-week’s centurion event, obsessive-compulsive behaviour (particularly cleaning).
Would you believe? Such is the luxurious and immaculate state of Shaz’s room that Queen Elizabeth’s planning administration requested that her room be made available for the Queen to reside in during her visit to Melbourne later in the year.

Resident Advisor
Matt Bell
Still hung-over from Geelong’s historic AFL Premiership win, Matt maintains that he’ll be up and firing for another action-packed O’Week campaign and year at Farrer in ’08. Like his all-conquering cats, he likes to think that he is a dominating force on the Farrer sporting arena. Unfortunately for Matt, he became aware of his distorted mind-frame when his jaw was simultaneously distorted in a bone-crushing football incident. He bounced back however, and this year takes over the better-suited resident geek role, minding the Farrer computer room and dealing with resident computer network issues.
Funny Facts
Nickname: Mattybell, Matty.
Favourite Pastime: Fixing peoples computers, eating meals through a straw.
Would you believe? Matt once stole a street busker’s earnings hat.

Resident Advisor
Marc McConnell
Marc is the founder of the Barham Appreciation Society. Regularly, he returns to his hometown to chair meetings and discuss important local issues such as teenage pregnancy and the communal lemon tree. He also strictly enforces the local dress code of footy shorts and double pluggers. Thriving in his environment & communications role this year, Sharky’s latest initiative was establishing a Halls information booth manned by a (not-so-obliging) South-African immigrant - in fairness to Justin, the location Sharky chose for the booth was inside a locked dumpster..
Funny Facts
Nickname: Sharky
Favourite Pastime: Abusing his master key privileges, diverting traffic around campus, hindering the progress of on-campus contractors.
Would you believe: Sharky was at the centre of an enquiry last year involving the Wagga Wagga Bush Pigs Football Club and the disappearance of their entire squad’s training guernseys.

Room: 276

Diet: One word, chops (often raw). And more recently: kangaroo.
Resident Advisor
Vaughan McCulloch
Born and raised in the sleepy coastal town of Port Macquarie on the NSW mid-north coast, Vaughan is regularly overwhelmed by the bright pretty lights of the city and is perplexed by traffic lights. He enjoys the Farrer functions a little too much often using them as an excuse for a little cross dressing. Vaughan can usually be found with some sort of ball in-hand and is always keen to play any form of game albeit a fraction too competitively! Oh yeah, and don’t bring up high school or he’ll be off like a lonely old man talking incessantly about his Sydney boarding school.
Funny Facts
Nickname: Vaughany, V-Mac.
Favourite Pastime: Playing quad cricket, singing (or screeching) cold chisel lyrics from his shower.
Would you believe: Vaughan’s attire to Farrer functions include a seriously slicked mafia bouncer, a mermaid, a transvestite complete with real boobs, a Heath Ledger-like cowboy with assless chaps, papa smurf and a pious nun.
