Really excellent photos - just as you imagine it is in the back of beyond. The van looks fabulous and glad to see the Jacobs Creek featuring so prominently. Loved the koala but those claws looked quite vicious! Take care! love from us all xxxx

WOW! it looks wonderful and you both look as happy as pigs in ....! things here are pretty normal. Loving the pictures, it's an escape from the grey boring work day. Nicky the hair is looking very straight, that camper must have every thing! and pleased to see you looking sun tanned and very brave, getting into the sea! no fish then! love and hugs jo x

Hi both - What a van!! Sounded loud when you described it, but still amazed when we saw it - definitely got the 'What the hell is that' factor. Dad disappointed its not a VW and wants to know 'Just what is it?'. Favourite photo has to be - breaky on the beach - all looks amazing. Is the sky really that blue or are you enhancing it somehow! Nothing doing here - just grey,grey,grey and boring,boring,boring!! Wish we were there! Both looking really well - have never seen you that colour Nicky!! Loads of love.

Dear Mr. Smug - sod off! Wicked 'Wicked', kool koalas, joining you in a JC, loved the photos. Not sure when is a good time to inflict the rest of us with the photos but after my last few days, I don't really care. Had two classrooms and toilets trashed with water, paint and stuff(!) by some former pupils from ..... you'll probably guess! Police car then involved in a prang on the way to interview 'suspects'! It could only happen at Tw....... . And Rog lost! What is the world coming to! Hugs and things. Paspeak.

Friday arvo would be a better time to upload photos mate. Cheers.

Ive just loaded up some pictures, when i say some i mean loads. Found a place where internet is very fast so all photos are on website. I hope this donst make some comoputers run slower and its probably really boring after he first few pictures. We are in Lorne on Ocena Road and saw penguins come up the beach last night at 12 apostles, only little ones though, but was quite a sight.

Its monday evening and sunny here, if your at work on monday, try to enjoy the photos. Love from Mr Smug.

Hello, we ve added a postcard and are just about to head along the great ocean road, this computer wont let me do pics so will do them later! love n and n x

Hiya love,just been looking at your photos - brilliant - looks like you're having a great time. Kev's about to set our computer up ready for Vicky - so will be able to keep in touch with you as well. Enjoying being a Granny!

Hi Both ,great to talk to you on the phone last night-the van sounds wicked! So ,envious of our icy snowy whether are you? too hot in Oz?!Sounds exciting on the campers route-hope you have a map! Hope you can find water to take a dip or too every now and then to cool off- remember the van might need water too(typical motherly concern!) though if its relatively new hopefully it wont let you down. Look forward to seeing the photos of your new abode and the cordon bleu chez nicks!
Em keeps thinking she'll see your faces on Neighbours now that you have visited Ramsey Street, presumably the programme there is years ahead!She also asks what about Home and Away?
Speak again soon
take care
lots of love

I can't believe you managed to spend so much time at the tennis I am very jealous, would have loved to Agassi on home ground shame he's been knocked out. Hope that you have managed to have more than cereal to eat now and that the choc. is lasting out!! The ocean drive sounds fantastic vicky and steve loved it and not surprised your looking forwaard to Kangaroo Island it sounds like it is out of a story. good luck with transport.

All fine here boys on three meals a day and I have decided they need to sleep throughthe night before we go to centre parks so we have just let them cry for the last two nights - feel like and evil mother but last night was better. Wish I had time to look at your photos but when they sleep through the night I'm looking forward to browsing through them in the evening!!
