Day 61 (Saturday 16th December 2006)We lent Ria and Dan 'Fran' (Dan can't drive his works car at the weekend) so they could get some stuff done that morning. When they got back we drove up to Ingle Farm shops so Marc could get his hair trimmed and Sarah some thongs, while the two of them were back out again, this time having Christmas lunch with some of Dan's relatives.Now if you're wondering, thongs is the name given to flip flops by Australi...

Day 59 (Thursday 14th December 2006)Marc watched cricket all day long, as well as a re-run of the Wigan v Arsenal match from the night before...go on Adebayor and you little beauty Cesc!!

Day 55 (Sunday 10th December 2006)It was up at 04:30 to go duckbill hunting at dawn.

It was gone 05:00 now and we had no idea what the German...

Day 53 (Friday 8th December 2006)We packed up one of our backpacks, lobbed it in the back of 'Fran' and headed off on our little mini trip to Kangaroo Island. We arrived at Cape Jervis shortly after 11:00 and just in time for our ferry.As we meandered through the scenic valleys of the Fleurieu Peninsular, Marc was adamant he spotted a huge goanna, strutting its stuff through a farmer's field. However, we all know what his eyesight's getting like t...
