re: FINAL THOUGHTS, CONCLUSION, EPILOGUE...Aunty Min (I wrote a msg last nt but it didn't save, so I'll try again) I am so pleased that you have had such a wonderful time as a family, both physically, doing all the fun stuff & spiritually growing together.

Good luck settling back into normal life again. Talk soon. Love ya guts you lot. Xx
re: FINAL THOUGHTS, CONCLUSION, EPILOGUE...Michelle I have loved reading your blogs Pete, not only for inspiration for our own trip but also because you are such an eloquent writer, making your blogs entertaining and a pleasure to read. Enjoy the transition back to normalcy and preparing for that next big adventure. Xxx
re: THE LAST FOUR DAYSMichelle & Darren We woke to 5 degree temp this morn in Temora, i'm sure it wont be quite that cold in Port Stephens xxx
re: DAY 66. AUSSIE WORLD.Jack Novak Hello, it's Jack. Hope you are having a great holiday, sorry about not commenting until now but i have been quite caught up in things. Anyway, sounds like fun and i'll have to tell Mum and Dad about Aussie World. Have a good trip Jack
re: DAY 66. AUSSIE WORLD.Ginny Geez I hope your not going to be too bored when you get home! Obviously having a great time. Jackie surivied Saturday night but when Steve brought the chairs back on Sunday she was still in bed lol. Photos of the guys at the theme park a great and the zoo. Will have to go there again ourselves one day. Everything good here. So once again have fun, stay safe and hugs to all. Love T&G
re: DAY 66. AUSSIE WORLD.Ginny PS. I forgot to tell you it was my turn (Gin) at punters club today and I won $109.00. I had $5 each way bets on 5 horses and got 2 wins and 2 thirds. Now I have to try and do it again next week. Greg has won the most at the moment but Tony is not far behind. We are still running at a loss in the how much we have invested compared to the amount we have won but we still have the rest fo the year to make that up. You guys don't have to worry about your bets as you are 4 people after me before Jo and then Pete's turn. I was quite chuffed and did a little dance in the office this arvo. Will let you know how I go next week. Love Gin
re: DAY 64. NOOSAGinny Glad to see you finally got some good weather and sounds like you will get the same tomorrow too, very good. Eumundi markets are great aren't they? We did them about 9 years ago and even Tony was impressed. We're a bit like you, we don't much like the market scene. We did Australia Zoo too and were very lucky to have Steve filming a segment for the USA. Was quite cool. Everything is good here, actually it's better if you get what I mean. Jackie is in for big night tonight. Rylee was supposed to have her birthday party at Salamander Tavern but the Tavern cancelled it as they were concerned that there would be under agers so now Jack is doing something for her at home. Hope she and the house survive. Just a little taste of what Tony is up to. Vans have been taken off sites 33 and 68 as well as the concrete and he has started making 33 a tent site and 34 is finished. It looks really good having the place open up a bit. That's all you get for now you will just have to wait until you get home to see the rest. So once again, have fun, stay safe and hugs to all. Love T&G
re: DAY 64. NOOSAGinny Now you know what it's like when we go away. We always seem to get rain when we are on hols. Every now and then we consider selling our services to drought stricken areas. At least we would be doing some good for someone. Have you considered moving into a cabin for a few nights or maybe even a motel just so you can feel dry for a while? I'm surprised you have lasted this long in the caravan, couldn't do it myself I would end up biting everyones head off. Don't say a word. Hang in there guys, not long to go so you better make the most of it. I know that's easy for me to say sitting in my nice dry house with everything I need at my finger tips but you'll be OK. Your on holidays!! No work, now stress, no worries!! So have fun, stay safe and big hugs to all. Love T&G PS. When we stayed up there last time we went to the aquarium at Moolloollaba (I think that's how you spell it) and it was all inside. It has a seal show and really good exhibitions and we enjoyed it so it can't be that bad. Just a thought.
re: DAY WHATEVER! SUNSHINE COAST MY ARSE!!!Michelle East Oh dear! You do sound a little depressed. I feel for you, I can speak from experience that Australia Zoo is do-able in the rain. Otherwise, tomorrow there is a whole bunch of new movies being released; Ice Age 4 & something else that I can't remember right now. Try to enjoy :-)
re: DAY WHATEVER! SUNSHINE COAST MY ARSE!!!Fairlie Long Snow White is a little disturbing in some spots... I took Emily to see it and honestly I could've waited for DVD. It wasn't worth admission in my opinion... I heard Brave was awesome though! Fairlie xo
