Zoe Evans Hi Bex, Hope sky dive went well! Hear your having lots of fun! My brother is arriving in Australia on Wednesday. He has a new job and is on gardening leave so why not! Do you have any recommendations re accommodation, trips etc? I'm soooo jealous of you all! love zoe

Chris Chea Hi Bex and Larry, looks and sounds like ur having an awesome time out on your travels. I'm soo jealous. Bex - your doing the same thing that I did, the oz experience bus but I did the "Bruce" from Sydney up to Cairns. You'll have such wickid time, meet some cool people and go to some really random places. Where did you stay in Cape Trib - I think I stayed there? Larry - I did my open water padi in Cairns with prodive, I got hooked on diving too! Whilst in Cairns you've undoubtedly been to the Woolshed, what a classy place hey. Make sure you go to Soho bar and bar rhino - they have power hr i.e. all you can drink in an hr for $10 if I remember correctly. Take care guys. Chris Chea x

Simone Skerrett Hi Guys, Hope your still having heaps of fun in the sun. Just thought I would let you know that we have hopefully got a house for Easter with a pool, just 5 mins from the beach at the Gold Coast. So you are welcome and I hope you will join us. There is heaps of room and Nick(who owns the home, who is off to spain) has met your sister, said your most welcome to enjoy his home too. It's a bachelor pad, so the furniture is a bit sparse, but well work out the sleeping arrangements later. He just wants us to feed his cat. But if you come before Easter that's fine too. Chris might be in New Zealand, as he has to go and put a new bathroom in at his mums, but he should only be away for a week. So that's all the news I have for now. Keep well, and safe. Simone. x

Kathryn Hampton Where have all the other messages gone? x

Chris Chea Hey Bex and Lawrence, Thought I'd take this opportunity to take your STA message board cherry! and to say I hate you both. I'm soo jealous of your travels. Sounds like your having fun out there. Good idea to set up this travel jounal, I should have done that when I was in Oz. If your ever in a lost for things to do, where to go or what hostels to stay in up the east coast, just drop me an email and I'll try to pass on some words of wisdom to you two. Take care and enjoy your travels! Chris Chea.
