Great blog. Good pics on facebook too. Lovely to hear you on the phone the other day and catch up. Sounds like you are both having fun. Give our love to the Tanners when you see them.

Love mum and dad. x x x

Hi Josh,

Where are you? No blog for weeks despite being stuck in the back of beyond! Desperate to read the next installment. Are you going near Brisbane yet and will you look up the Tanners? You missed an earthquake here 2 nights ago.... bigger than the last one and pretty scary but at least the house wall stayed standing! You would have loved it! Saw Steve and Kylie. Miles still in NZ on the tourist trap and has a permanent address. You should look him up.Contact him on facebook. Contact lens arrived. . . could send it to his house. ??? let me know. What exciting things have you been up to? Enjoy Jack's celebrations. Speak soon. Love you. Mum and dad. x x x

Hi Josh, how are you?

Haven't heard from you both on your blogs for a while so thought I'd get in there first.Swam your way out of the floods yet? You're both fully qualified to do that now so should be a piece of cake.

Talking of cake, hope you both have a good day on the 1st!!

Love to you.Mum 2 xxxx

Hi Josh

Fantastic blogs, thoroughly enjoyed reading them...we were in stitches. Make sure you don't do anything that will lead to you needing stitches.. inc. hiring a camper van. Say hello to the spider for us and watch out for the Taipan snakes, freshwater crocs, saltwater crocs, redbacks, sharks, and dodgy women.

Love ye loads and missing you... the food bill's not the same without you.

Love

Mum and Dad (& Ozzie) XX(x)

hi there Josh

Just read the blogs.As good as ever, keep them coming.Hope the toe is ok now.The cooking sounded like fun although i must say that pink soup sounds quite awful.Sorry!

I wouldn't take a campervan if I were you, remember "Wolf Creek"! Keep to the main roads and don't veer off them!

Take care and look after yourselves.thinking of you

Hi Josh

We've written to you on your gmail account with details about Dave Firth and Perth.

Hope Borneo was all you wanted it to be and you didn't get altitude sickness.
