Ryan Good post. You should have climbed into the pouch of one of the kangaroo's and got your photo taken.

cacs You can really tell a story, what an experience!! It amazes me not only that you have worked with the goats-but that Nicola worked with the goats, I bet there was some laughter involved. Take care the both of you xx

rhoda I have no Idea what I am doing here so hope I don't get into trouble from interpol for being some sort of spy!!! How is it all going Kirsty - sound great. It damp and drab here but quite sunny today for a change. Those poor elephants!! you'll be seeing kangaroos and crocs by now, send pics for me to show Taylor. Rhoda.

Sheila You must be about at the end of the first part of your big adventure, and what a great time you sound to have had. What a variety of sights and great people you have seen and met. Bet Aberdeen and Brechin seem like a million miles away now, but we are still here, wet but battling on:) Have a safe journey to Australie and lots of love Sheila xx

Ryan Actually, with our weather, I am thinking that going "tubing" is a good idea.

Cacs Stop going on about the weather!! We are in the middle of the worst flooding in over 100 years!! I am building a boat as we speak. Sounds amazing take care and lots of luv Cacs xxx

Sheila Forgot to say, it is 9.20am here and it is so dark outside it is like night and very windy and raining hard - how lucky are we!! xxxxxx

Sheila You sound as if you are having a fantastic time Kirsty. You are right about having a camera, you do spend so much taking snaps that you miss the real thing. Everyone is well here. I thought Ryan was joking about the tree like Jesus but seemingly it is true- how bizarre is that:) Take care and looking forward to your next blog. Am very envious of you!
