THE FATHER’S DAY FIX continued

DAD QUIZ Can you name the movies that these famous dad quotes come from – and for bonus points, name the dad in question? 1 “This is going straight to the pool room.” 2 “A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man.” 3 “We'll just tell your mother that... we ate it all.” 4 “I promised him I'd never let anything happen to him.” 5 “This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. You're gonna have fun, and I'm gonna have fun...” 6 “If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.” 7 “No, I am your father.” 8 “Remember who you are.You are my son and the one true king. Remember who you are…” 9 “I will be watching you, studying your every move, and if I find that you are trying to corrupt my firstborn child, I will bring you down, baby. I will bring you down to Chinatown.”

ADVENTURE DAD

Camping and bushwalking are enjoyed by many Australians, so why not throw a few adventure toys into the mix when dad shoots off on his next trip? Smartwatches are an essential tool for the adventure dad where GPS tracking and call functionality will keep him safe. A good camera is also an ideal gift for intrepid venturers, and if you want to take the ability to shoot unique photography/videoography up a notch, then a quality drone slung in the pack is just what the doctor ordered.

TECH DAD Tech dad loves to be abreast of new developments in the field of technology, ready to demonstrate it whenever someone turns up at the house. Buying new tech, especially in the smart home sector where just about anything in the house can be operated via voice control, is an addictive exercise. For dads interested in technology, the opportunities are endless. You can kickstart a smart home ecosystem for relatively little cost. Maybe you could update his smartphone to a 5G model, grab him a portable hard drive, or bundle up a handful of useful accessories...

10 “Junior? It is you, junior!”

MOVIE DAD What dad doesn’t like films or TV? The walls at JB are crammed with everything from triple-A titles to anime films. Documentaries cover just about every subject you can think of, from sport and history to music and true crime. Does he have a 4K TV but has yet to make the step up to 4K movies? Grab him a 4K player and a couple of his favourites on 4K and watch him marvel at the picture quality. And don’t forget about his favourite TV shows, either. Box sets make the perfect present.
