Hi Guys - well worth the wait for the pictures !!! Unreal banana peel... On all the days you wore white you fell into mud, it was destined to happen the moment you put your shirt on that morning. Feels like you've been gone for ages. cant wait for the stories!! Kirty and Scott

Hi Guys,

There are some great photos there....love the one of Fluke with his sunnies, hat & tie on!!! And bad luck about that river Spud! Would love to have seen it!

Well Grand Final Day is almost here....very excited!!! We're just madly hoping that it doesnt rain! By the way I didnt end up getting your BBQ, I got Mum & Dad's instead...thanks for the offer though!

Pretty busy at work this week coz Pete's in Perth so I better get back to it....dont want to have to knock of late on a Friday!

Keep those updates coming...and HAVE FUN!!

Lots of love Clutters

Woo hoo! Nice photos, love them all (especially the one where you got soaked Spud.. hee he, you're such an athlete!).

I know you'll be sick of people asking you about your trip when you get home, so I'll save all my questions for an arvo session at the Mac to catch up on it all at Xmas... actually, an arvo isn't going to be long enough, I'll have to book out a whole week I think. I'm sure we can organise something....

Happy holidaying, and can't wait to see you guys back in one piece!

Love Lozza & Micky D

Hi People,

Great photo's, looks like such an awesome time and I am loving the Blogs, keeps me occupied in the quiet times at work! Laughed my head off at the "Julian"reference Spud, when I saw the picture and read that it was so true, you have to see the movie to understand but you will laugh to I promise!!

Glad you guys are having such a great time, you will need a holiday from your holiday!!

Can't wait to see you both and to hear all of the stories, I get little tid bits from Norza as you would imagine, but not the same as seeing you expressions when you tell a story Spud!!!

Take care, see you soon,

Love Geordz & Matt

Howdy guys.. I tried the number Spud but obviously it didn't work... ( were you just trickin me ?? ) It was good to hear your voice.. even if it was mostly drowned out by my echo.... The pics are great, looks like you are having a fantastic time and black is certainly your colour Julian!!! EEza asked if it was rat girl on the phone.. not nice... I printed your blogs and dad took them over to Nan so she could follow your adventure as well, she was pleased I think... Kain asked today if Spuddy and Timmy were coming home soon and I told him not for a bit yet mate, I think he is missing you too... Talk to you soonXXXOOO

THANK YOU SO MUCH SPUD & FLUKE FOR MY CEMENT MIXER TRUCK, I LOVE IT, I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT OUTSIDE AND FILLED THE BACK UP WITH DADS ROCKS - SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET BACK TO OZ - HAVE FUN, LOVE THOMAS XOXOXO

Hey Spudly and Fluke. Have sent some msg's through but think they went to email through "contact" cos they haven't appeared on the msg board, woops! Anyway, you guys sound like you are having the time of your lives, what an unreal opportunity. Sounds so amazing so far. I am loving your blog entries, keep them coming. Vegie garden is going well. Hate to tell you but I don't think Lara will give up collecting the mail and watering the vegies once you get back, she loves it! I braved it and picked the lettuce (and no I didn't pull it out of the ground!!). Am glad you had the experience with the hungry people, you would have fitted in so well! he he!. Looking forward to your next update. Luv and Hugs, Zinks, Az and Lara. XXOO

Hi There

Your story about the rats brought back memories of living at Stradbroke.......hmmmmm maybe don't give them the plaster of paris to eat though.

Can you get lots of photo's of the little kids & bubbies for me - if your allowed to (if you can sneak one into your back pack for me even better!) They are so beautiful.

The game between Collingwood and Geelong was awsome to watch, Geelong only won by a few points as well and the lead changed all game (it was what everyone would have loved the granny to have been and this week will be a bit of a lull compared to last week. Port thumped the Roo's to go through.

We got the playground finished out the back with the shade sails up and they look awsome - very happy. I think it is the only thing in a long time that Jace took the time to do properly (Higgo did help so maybe it was good influence).

Shop has still been very busy so it isn't that quiet as it is normally meant to be at this time of year. Makes the next few months look very promising indead!!!!!

Luv

Shells, Jace, Kaino & Willy Jim

Hi guys,

Great updates on your trip! Its sounds awesome.

Busy busy here. Fence is being rendered as we speak, so hopefully in the next week or two we will have it painted. Will be re-oiling our deck too, so I can't wait to see it all looking nice.

Big news - Kase is walking!!! Friday night she decided to try it by herself. And last night, she was off... Walking around the house and very proud of herself :) No stopping her now. Its really cute.

Keep having a ball. Thinking of you guys heaps.

Sweno, Jac & Kase

Hi guys,

Quick update on things at home:

1. Kaino picked his first spring onion from his garden today - yes we have had to eat it straight away.

2. Maffra wan the footy after Sale made a huge come back from 30 down at one stage to go down by only 8 points I think (didn't go just what i've heard).

3. Jimmy Bartel from Geelong won the Brownlow last night. Yes Spud we did alter Katies gown again but haven't seen or read enough yet to see if she got a good review. We are altering her dress for the St Kilda Best & Fairest tomorrow.

4. Timmy, Prison Break starts again tomorrow night, yes I went and got you some video's and will get Ronnie to tape them for you to watch when you get back - Damn I'm good to you.

5. Willis has finally got his top two choppers finally coming through the skin and he talks points and babbles to you like he is having a full on conversation with you.

6. Norz is starting to panic that we haven't heard from you yet (again, thinks maybe you have been trapped in by flood waters.

7. Kaino has been riding his big bike around the lake - won't be long before he gets his confidence up and wants the training wheels off.

8. It is Geelong and Port Adelaide in the footy grand final (not sure if you knew that one????)

9. We have all but decided to go to Sale Cup so will get you guys a ticket also.

I think that's nearly all, have a few other bits and pieces but will fill you in when you get back.

Luv

Shells, Jace, Kaino &Wil
