Happy birthday for Saturday Katie. Glad to hear that you have finally found the sun.

CD was received safely but the letters and presents have been lost in the post. We were slightly disappointed to hear that you are still getting sunburnt after all this time in these warm countries.

I hope you won't try bringing any grey teddy bears, whoops I mean't Koalas, back with you as the cat would get jealous which would be bad news for us all.

Hope to hear from you again soon,

Love Us xxxx.

Hello my dears,

Well the Camper Van is seriously cool - take a piccie of it and put it on the web!!! Have to see!! Not a big fan of those jelly fish stings - blinking hurt don't they and how horrid do they feel?

Am REALLY busy at work but seeing as they have just started paying me overtime not too sad about it!!!! Hurrah!!!

Mum and Dad are just in the process of booking their flights out to see me in April - so excited!!! Anyway keep the updates coming.

Love to you both
Axx

Hello Everyone,

Sorry so long since a message but we have not seen many internet cafes on our way up the coast. We are at Rockhampton at the mo and whoever tiold us that oz was sunny is very much mistaken we have had thunderstorms for a week now and its like being in the uk again sorry guys! Today though has made up for it, it has been a sunny 34 degrees and yes once again kat is suffering from a little thing she calls sunburn oopps!!! What have we been up to well we went to a cultural heritage museum ans yes tinky did like it kat loved it coz she got to hold a cute 8 month old joey (baby kangaroo) called jack! Plus we went to a koalar sanctuary which kat and tinks both has a picture together with a koala calle Neo! They are soo fluffy and cute but really like those leafs and still not quite figured out how they sleep on a tree branch!! As we were in the sanctuary the keepers told us that it was near impossible for them to get out however one proved them wrong and managed to escape was very funny! It did manage to come down on it own accord no no nothing just a bit of gentle persuasion!! The camper is going ok now but it did break down the battery cell went and so we ended up jump starting it twice but the rac equivilants were with us in no time!! Our camper is a wicked camper and is specially designed take a visit to www.wickedcampers.com.au Speak to you soon and just want to wish jody a happy 23rd birthday sorry this is late had no access to a computer!!! love you all kat and tinksxxx

E O. Hope you are both having excellent adventures. Mind out for the Great Whites at the Barrier Reef, and remember to take care when snorkelling ( remember Trencreek!)

We have been on half term this week and Callie is off next week. Mummy has had a lovely time, we've been to the seaside, birdwatching and playing in the rock pools. It is however back to work next week.

Speak to you soon.

Hi you two have eventually got the computer to work. camper van sounds like great fun and the camp sights sound fab. sounds like you had a good time in Sydney. I would love to have gone to see the koala's they sound really cute. Pictures are great have had fun catching up with them. Hope to see some more soon. it was good to have Amy home again even if it was only for a short trip. She said Sophie looked stunning at her wedding, as you would expect. It was nice she could catch up with the girls again aswell. Well she has gone back to Bermuda now so life has gone back to normal,just one round of work and more work. Keep having fun driving up the coast in your camper van. Take care and enjoy yourselves. Keep posting the pictures it's great to see where you have been. Will write again soon loads of love mum

P.S. was lovely chatting to you the other day - will have to do that again maybe at Xmas!!!

Hello all. We collected our camper a week ago and have travelled millions of kms to Brisbane, on the way we have seen many beaches and many bumpy roads, but is still a very nice coast to travel up. We are looking forward to the next stint going to cairns as we will be going snorkelling on the great barrier reef. Tracy not seen any yet but will keep eyes peeled. Dad thankyou for Mikes email address will get in contact with him soon. Hope everyone is ok.
speak to you all soon
love kat and tinks

Hello Tinks and Kat glad to see that you are having a good time, (nice tans) All the places you have been to look amazing I am looking forward to seing more photos. Steve, I would like to know whether you have seen anywhere yet that sells Bacophant sandwiches, we are still making extensive searches over here but thought you might have more luck over there lol. I hope that you have more good times to come and you are relishing in the prospect of a nice hot winter. Love Tracey xx
