Lynn and Tony Hi Luke, Love the new photos of your journey. Thanks for postcard. Fraser island looks fantastic. So much lovely blue water, blue sky and white sand - heaven. We are in the middle of a snowstorm here. You look so well and happy, despite the peach farm! Lodgings looked a bit grim,but you obviously survived and went on to celebrate Australia Day in a big way. Looking forward to your next blog and snaps. We are really enjoying our journey with you through Australia even though it is from the armchair. Take care. Love Lynn & Tony

Dave Hi there guys, Haven't kept up to date with the blogs and pics, so am posting blind so to speak. However, this is a post in response to your postcard that we received, Chris. Glad you are loving it and that you got to meet Steve. Really touched that you have the song on the iPod and that you like it. I have another masterpiece that is your little cousin singing Jump by Van Halen. Let us know if you are interested, we will try to e-mail it to you. Well, like I say, I will try to catch up with your adventures this weekend and will post a "Wow!" or "Lucky Barstools!" type response in due course. Take care, both of you. Dave.

Grandad and Edna Hi Chris Hope all is going well with you and you have contacted your friends with a view to getting some work in Sydney. It must be getting hot there at the moment as it is their summer. Stuart, Tracey and Sam were here last weekend and they helped to cut down two small trees and some branches of our tree in the front garden which were becoming a nuisance to anyone walking on the lawn. Grandard is very tired at the moment due to the antibiotics he has to keep taking still he will get there. Our love to you, keep safe and enjoy every moment.
