Hello all, In Byron Bay at the mo, a little place on the beach, just over the Queensland border in New South Wales. We're now 11 hours ahead of you guys 'cus NSW operate daylight savings time, whereas Queensland doesn't, something to do with cows apparently. Since my last update, we've spent a fair few days in Brisbane, a couple of days in Surfers Paradise and now we're having a few days in Byron Bay. The sun has recently returned to our lives, ...

Hello everyone, been a fair old while since i last wkacked a bit of an update on here, primarily 'cus we've ben on the go most of the time.

Alright people, not sure exactly where i got up to with the last update but here goes anyway. Been snorkelling on the great barrier reef, which was solid. Was yae weird seeing it up close, after seeing it on tv so many times. It's pretty much exactly as you would expect. The highlight of our snorkelling trip was the hour or so we spent on a little sand cay in the middle of nowhere, basically, it was a sand island about 10 by 10 meters with nothing el...

Rob: In cairns now, been here 3-4 days now after a similar length of time in Hong Kong. The stupid journal thing wouldn't seem to let me put in an individual entry for that but suffice to say, it was worth a visit, amazing skyline which was worth the visit itself, but generally there wasn't enough to do to hang around any longer. If we'd had a bit more cash we could have gone to Disneyland or something, but that's not really the point of the trip, eh. Anyway, w...
