Hello Brooke how exciting your big adventure looks! We're following your progress and are impressed with your photos but PLEASE get someone to take a photo of you 'cos we can't believe your're actually there doing all those things on your own - you're sooooo brave and we're really proud of you! Where exactly are you and where are you off to next? Dom would like to trace your route on the map. We loved your picture of the bats and the cockatoo - how cool was that to see them in their natural habitat! Naomi Joel and Dom send their love and don't forget to get in the next set of pictures! xxxxx p.s. do you know aunty Gaynor has got a puppy irish terrier called Minnie McKernan?

My dear Brooke, hi ya love. I have watched your adventures so far on Neelys computer, with great interest. Keep it up babe we are all very proud of you.At the same time take care and keep your wits about you at all times. Its getting cold now here at home, you know fur lined garters and all that jazz! Ienvy all the sunshine you'll be soaking up at this moment in time. Neely comes to see me most days and i love to see her with all the news of you. There is nothing at your Mams at the moment for her. They don't realise how upsetting it is for everyone, it goes on and on. Your in the best place so enjoy it my love, you only get one life. All our hearts are with you every day. Love you always NAN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
