Hi all. In the last week we have ended up back at work for 6 weeks. We are working on a Banana Farm in a place called Tully, 150km south of Cairns. Not very exciting work but its paying for all the things we want to do on the way back down to Sydney. Will tell you more about the job and Australia after we get into it abit.. Photos of Hong KOng and Australia will be on hold for a while as we go to work a 6am and dont get back till 4pm, and where we are is a tiny town and they have only just heard of internet we think. Speak to you all soon love you all kat and tinks.

Hi
Not had time to get on computer lately but Mum has put a message on this week.
Things OK here but the clocks have gone back now so it gets dark early. Penny is OK and now spends the evenings in the lounge but apparently she will not go into the garden before she goes to bed, I had to carry her out on Sunday night. Can't figure out why she has started to be awkward.
You sound as if you are having a good time and I hope that you can pick up some work on your way back south.
Have you had a reply from Mike in NZ yet?
Will post some more rubbish at the weekend but I must leave work now and go and get some food
Love Dad

Hi both of you, well sounds like your'e both having fun. Katy sounds like your birthday was very special. I'm glad you both had such a fantastic day and got to scuba dive. Amy was very jealous, I think the Barrier reef is definately on her list of things to do especially after reading about the great time you've had. Katy you got a card from Aunty Ann and from Aunty Jane and Uncle Pete for your birthday. Have put a check in the bank for you from J and P for £25, Bday money.Well we have some exciting news aswell we have finally booked our flights to go and see Amy. We are going over the Easter period in April next year, so are both looking forward to that. Amy is going to book Dad on a scuba diving day while he is there, I think he will really enjoy it. As for me I shall watch from the safety of the beach I think. Well back to the here and now all a bit boring work, work and yet more work. Hoping to see some more photos on the board soon. Hope you continue to have a great time look after each other and take care speak again soon love Mum and Dad.

Hello everyone thankyou for the bday messages. Wow what a birthday that i had it all started when we booked ourselves to snorkel for a day at the Great barrier reef. We got picked up at 7:30am and taken to the harbour where we set foot on this beautiful boat called seaflight which was 37 metres long and had two inside decks and an upper outside one! We got on the boat and were immediatly put at ease we got tea and coffee and biscuits! When we set sail there were 20 or so staff members whom came with you and they all distributed around the boat talking to the customers! Steven got talking to this guy called Wendy yes he was a bloke and that was his real name Wendy Kevin, apparently his mum always wanted a girl and he was the youngest so his mum called him wendy!!! Then we got talking to this canandian Fred whom was telling us where to go in Cananda! Once on the way they gave us a talk of the different things that were on offer and after the talk me and steven decicied to do an introductory scuba dive! The guys taking us down were so lovely they made you laugh so much steven was in stiches at the safety talk because they were making jokes about the aussies and english! So we went Scuba diving on the Great barrier reef cannot explain for the life of me how fantastic it was and soo much better than snorkelling we took an underwater camera with us so hopefully we could get some pictures we went down to a depth og 6-8 metres and saw so many fish it was great! To top the day off there was also a slide and we could snorkel off the pontoon in the middle of the sea as much as we liked!!! We got a buffet lunch morning and afternoon tea and on the way home there was even a storytime that is legendary in there world. Was a lot of fun and the crew were fantastic they even got off the boat before the guests so that they could all line up and say goodbye as you got off!! Was the best bday yet!!
love from kat and tinks xx

Happy birthday! Hope you have a fab day and got my text!

glad your both havin such a wonderful time, cant wait to see pics of oz its sounds amazing. hope you both have a great day on the boat. take care and hope to hear from you soon x

Happy birthday Kat. hope you have a great day. We have just had our first floods. Two out of the three roads were flooded. We had great fun riding through the floods on our bikes. One day we will grow up.

Hello thankyou for all the birthday messages well the day is tomorrow which we are taking a big boat out to the reef to do some snorkelling! Will be fun hopefully. As you can see we hacve stayed in sunny airlie beach for about five days we have done some jet skiing as well was major fun and no we did not fall in although we were on a ski that was fit for 3 people was very fast!! Kat managed to scare steven by crashing into the waves! Actually it was the other way around!! Cameras will be going on the boat with us so hopefully we may be able to put some on! It is so tranquil here the views are amazing. They have a logoon that you can swim in right next to the actual beach is really funny but with less jellyfish although have not seen any of them yet!!! The camp also has a big pool with two slides so steven and kat have been pushing the kids out of the way to have goes!! There is also a huge jumping pillow which is a giant bouncy castle and it is soo much fun!! We have both had a free trial dive at the camp swimming pool kat was in her element and steven enjoyed it as well was disappointed he did not see many fish!! It will be a fun filled bday for both kat and ste and we shall report to you sometime soon!!! Thanx again for the messages love you all loads miss you kat and tinksxxxx
