See you've got a 5 star rating for your site (& thousands of hits too). Can see why - fab photos - lucky you getting so close to a shark - trust it was one of the more people-friendly sort!

Cape Trib looked fab - did you get any warm rain this time or have you been basking in sunshine the whole time?

Good to see you got some more scuba in. Have a nice time surfing on Manley beach. See you when you get home.

All my love

Daddy

figured this may be the best place to ask for a favour in hope you might actually read it!!
seen zoe today as soon as she got home, full of awesome stories ... but she also came baring a gift
she gave me a tube of 'lucas papaw ointment' - that lipbalm stuff in a red tube that apparently you all have. we are a little bit addicted already and for fear of running out were wondering if you would very nicely get us two more tubes (one each) if you can get hold of any while your still in aus :D
altho if you are exceedingly poor then dont fret too much, we will make do
thank you muchly :) :) and have a lovely last week,

Hi love

Just had a thought. If you get this in time, any chance you could look for a pair of Havaianas for me in Manly? I got my last ones in one of those surfy shops in the main street. Don't spend lots of time looking, but if you see a pair that you think I'd like I'd be really grateful. Flowery soles and white tops would be good. If you have no money left ask jacqui to lend it to you and I'll pay her back.

Ring me on Sunday evening (your time) about your flight etc. Theres just a chance I might go up to Grandmas this weekend so if I'm not here will you ring me there?

Enjoy your time with Charlotte, Jess etc

Love you loads

Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Love you loads

Hi Charlotte,
just seen your latest piccies from the Whitsundays and from your 4x4 trip (didn't reaslise they were in separate albums (Doh!!)).

It looks fab there - might have known you'd find a pink jeep to do the 4x4 trek in!

Hope you had a chance to do some more scuba. Hope the last piece of your hols back in Sydney are good fun too.

See you when you get back. All my love,

Daddy

mum tells me you complained about a lack of email but id like to clear my name and say i emailed you straight away but to your account on this thing, not your hotmail. so you need to learn how to use this and check it *nods* (altho you know anyway now so a little pointless in content)
believe your back in sydney now so say hello to jacqui and bruce
xxxx

Bloody hell. I've got myself the worst job in the world sorting invoices. While I'm sat at my bleak paper-cluttered desk attempting conversation with the most miserable specimens on the planet, you're doing all this stuff. Was there any question that you wouldn't love every second, though?! Sailing sounds awesome - I'd love to do that. Doesn't sound like you were hoisting sails or scrubbing decks, though. None the less I want to hear stories about you sailing around Southampton this year!

Keep having loads of fun. When are you home?

Luke

dont think im gonna read your journal anymore - makes me feel a bit sick! grrr
all sounds far to jammy to me - shouldnt be allowed!
guess it makes all those weeks of slogging it out in the office worth it eh?! next time no moaning haha
its all happening in b.e at the mo(!) - not alot going on round here so never fear your not missing much.
hope you're still surviving your arduous travels
xxxxxxx

Hi love
Just a quick hello from Crete!! Just found an internet cafe so I could read your latest entries. Was the sea warmer on Whitehaven beach than when we were there with J & B? Hope so. You won't believe it but I've been swimming in the sea every day here so far!! It is so hot that its the only way to cool down and its absolutely lovely. Crete is lovely and can recommend it for a summer of bumming around!!

Lots of love and take lots of care Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxx
