Merry Christmas to all family and friends!
Nice to read all your e-mails and messages on the blog, sorry we can't reply to them individually as we are usually on slow Maccy D's internet, or our dongle which has a usage limit.
We have had a nice 4 days in Mount Tamborine, just inland from the Gold Coast. We did a couple of walks, bought some lovely speciality cheese, wine and fudge, and we also did some free wine tasting. We also visited a brewery called 'MT', and got a $10 taster tray there. So overall, we have had a busy and really enjoyable few days!
We were looking forward to sunbathing over christams and new year, but the weather at the moment is unseasonably cold, that is around 23-24 degrees and very cloudy and showery. Fingers crossed it gets a little warmer to enjoy the beach and the ocean at Surfers Paradise. This is where we are going to be staying for the next 10 days, until 3rd Jan, then travelling down toward Sydney.
Hope you all enjoy opening presents, eating, and drinking and being merry!
Lots of Love xxx

Maxine Hi L & D Hope your Xmas & New Year Celebrations in Oz. were memorable for all the right reasons. Am sure you felt a little homesick - or was that just sick from all the wine, beer & cheese tasting!! We hit the ground running on our retunr from the Maldives (where we got so chilled out we were almost horizontal). Chrsitmas day was hectic as we had Imogene & family for the day. then we both went down with colds and had to force ourselves to enjoy the Black & White New Year's Eve Ball we had booked to go to with Imogene & Ken, but after a few hot whiskeys, we got into the swing of things and a very late night was had. It has been unseasonably mild here, but we are told colder weather is coming. Enjoy Sydney, are sure you will be impressed with the Opera House et al, the ferry over to Manly is worth a trip. There is a very dodgy area just outside Sydnes can't remember the name, but am sure you have been forewarned and are street wise now. We stayed in a boutique hotel in Double Bay "Double Bay double pay", tres expensive! We didn't rate Bondai Beach, let us know what you think. Lovely to read your blogs, don't work too hard and hope you soon get your car fixed. Much Love - Edward & Maxine
