Sydney, New South Wales

We arrived in Sydney yesterday to 29 degrees and lots of sun - lovely! We spent the afternoon walking around the botanical gardens and went to Macquarries Point. We had ice cream which melted faster than we could eat whilst looking at the opera house and Harbour Bridge. Really good way to spend the afternoon. In the evening we met up with …

Katoomba, New South Wales

Katoomba is the main town in the Blue Mountains. I have found out why they look blue too - its the oily mist the Eucalypt trees give off which makes them look blue. There's an interesting fact…

Mary and Mike Enjoyed seeing your latest photos. What a super variety reflecting all the interesting (and hot) places you have been to. We have now resorted to putting on the heating here. Neil - you now look as though you have worn into your hat - it looks good. We have had a few days with Ben and Dan and they are great - changing so fast. Lisa and Matt came to join us one evening as well so it was nice to see them also. Catherine and Simon bought me a digital photo frame as a birthday present and Adam and Kate brought a memory stick and had downloaded some of the photos they had taken so it is great fun and my camera card fits so I am really enjoying it. Looking forward to more info about Tasmania.

Lisa Hewitt Hi both of you, Sounds lke your having a few wet days out there, its not much better here!! Back to school now, boo. Summers over for us, think of us while your relaxing and exploring. No gossip for you really, big brothers finished now, so I have to find something else to do with my evenings now!!

mum & dad H We are back safe and sound and i an pleqsed to report the safe arrival of one digeree do (please correct the spelling!!). Hotel in Dubai was great super pool, super food and super people. It was hot and humid though ( 41 degrees and 87% humidity) air conditioning essential!! Very interesting place but two days is enough. Hope that you eventually got to Fraser Island, the weather did not improve until we got to the airport in Brisbane, we did not arrive there until 5pm despite leaving early because of an accident which eventually diverted us of the main road and all round the backstreets of Brisbane!!! I am assuming that the weather is now back to normal Queensland sunshine and that you are making good use of the new camping equipment, let us know how you are getting on. I seem to have lost my magic himalayan rock salt so if you get to the market (sunday's) in Port Douglas find the man selling it and tell him I thought his rocks were magic and that I lost mine on route to England and he will perhaps give you a new piece.

Matt V Festival - pah. What you need is the Cropedy Folk Festival - now that's what you're missing! Nice to see you're enjoying yourselves, but I take it that you haven't gone as far as the James Bond exploits of Mum & Dad H (choppers and submarines indeed!) You've got to have a go at surfing - it's easier than you think to stand up! Matt

Lucy & Nick Hi both! Great to see you in Arundel. Hope you enjoy the rest of your travels. Don't forget I want piccies of the Great Barrier Reef and Darwin (always hot) posting up. It rained all day yesterday (Sunday) and it's still raining today here on the Gold Coast so hope the weather is brighter a bit further up North. At least our pool has filled up a few inches though and the water tank finally has some water in it! Apparently it's not been enough to impact on the drought though You're welcome back at any time! Pink champagne and mint slices will be waiting! Lucy & Nick xxx P.S. Stella flies on Wednesday (22nd) and will be in Sydney for 4 weeks after so pop in and say hello if you're there!

It looks and sounds like you're having a fantastic time and I am soooo jealous!Make sure you enjoy every minute of it (I'm sure you will) and will look forward to seeing more pics and hearing all about it! Mike & Mary came down a few Saturday's ago for a bbq which was very lovely, Adam & Kate were down on the Friday and we went to see Jimmy Carr - very funny! The wedding plans still going good - still haven't sorted out the honeymoon though - aarrgghh - hopefully that's the next thing on the list! Take care & lots of Love Lisa & (a sleeping) Matt xxx
