robert lee Hi girls, just to let you know that it's 10.15am on this sunday morning and the weather is glorious.I suppose you are soaking up some more of that aussie sunshine - coupled with some awful alcohol! Vic, elliot & rhys were really excited to receive your phone call and had a great time yesterday at the malthouse pub, running around playing football,what else! Tina,Smudge and I went up the lamb and had a really good time, the music being right up our street. Maggie is riding the horse/s regulary and eric is as mad as ever.Will spoke to mum the other day but I havn't actually seen him for a few days. Speak to you both in a little while. Love bob a lob

Ali Well, I'm happy to say that I'm not jealous at all of the amazing sunsets, champagne quaffing and spectacular scenery, as you know how much I appreciate the splendor of Town Quay and the company of project managers. Hmmm. So pleased to see that you're having a fantastic time, it's well deserved! Beware, the travel bug will have bitten you good and proper now though! Ali xxxxx

Smudge Hi to you two, great to hear that your enjoying the trip although i don't understand the bit about Byron Bay. Sounds like a crackin place to me!! Well i had better get on and do a bit, keep on enjoying the trip.

robert lee glad to hear that you made it out of byron bay ok-sounds pretty horrendous-what with the toilets and the drunks! Still, it sounds like you've got a few days in which to relax. Everybody is ok and looking forward to seeing some more lovely pics. Love to you both, Bob,Tina, Stewart,Geoff and RoseXX
