And I'm finally writing a blog from somewhere other than Auckland! I'm in Australia right now and have been for a couple of weeks. I flew into Brisbane and spent almost 2 weeks seeing family (Aunty, Uncle and 3 cousins - I'd only met my Aunty before!), which was just awesome!! I did so so much in that time - holiday on the Gold Coast, theme park, Australia Zoo, Underwater Sea World, boat trip in Brisbane, watching fireworks, and celebrating Australia Day with a few drinks and some cockroaches... I will explain more about the various activities at some point!!

I've now been in Sydney for 24 hours and I've already been to the Opera house!!! So so exciting and I'm booked onto the tour tomorrow morning so I get to see round it! :-D I'm also booked onto the tour this evening at the Sydney Observatory so I get to look at pretty stars for a couple of hours! The next 3 days are just gonna be me walking round gardens and visiting the opera house me thinks with a couple of museums thrown into the mix... All good! xx
