Sam, will you please stop smiling in the photos you seem to be having way too much fun .Thought I had better put a posting in as I can not seem to catch you on the phone. Its raining here today but was warm but very cold yesterday which I am sure you will be pleased to hear.

Robert and Lee seem to be doing well with their new baby and they have all been to nannies to show her off, Rachel is moving out with Carl on the 1st of January ,after having enough hastle with the first house they were trying to buy they are now renting for 6 months to give them some breathing space[well thats what they all say].Adrian is apparently going to your moms for xmas day , [if she knows] to make up for her missing you.Speak to you both soon

Love Dad

Hi there you two like everyone says the pics are amazing and you look so happy in them............poor ricky having to drive all those miles but i bet it was worth it...... Not sure where you are at the moment but if let us know so i can find you in my book. I think all of us want to win the lottery so we can be with you both. Dark here early at night now i expect you are in summer now......... Ade is coming on sat to stay for a few days which will be good not seen him in awhile. well keep the pics coming and keep smiling love to you both. Ta ta for now stay safe love you both. xxxxx

Hi guys, so good to see you both having such a fantastic time, I look at your site every day. I think the photos are brilliant , that good in fact you should have asked for a commision from the national geographic society they are always printing articles about the back of beyond,and some of their photos are quite boring compared to yours, now don,t want your ego's to get to big, or you wont be able to get in Dora.

I find it hard to believe how much ground you have covered in just 3 months, and of all the things you have seen and done its quite amazing

I agree with Alan, over winning the lottery and coming out to see you

you never know it could happen, but its most unlikely we would both win it ??so watch out for low flying pigs. Off to see Gez and Stu on the 14 Nov, for a well earned, ok not well earned rest , well take care speak to you soon , lol doug

Wow , you certainly seem happy and enjoying yourselves.What I want to know is what are you going to do with all those photos ?? They are smashing though and obviously you are getting a lot of practice as they are getting better every time you upload some.I think i need to win the lottery so that I can come out and join you ,as it is probably the only way I can get and stay out there for that long.Weather is getting cold here now so not so many photos of warm places and enjoying yourselves too much please. Keep in touch , We can still receive text messages out here you know???Love Dad

Hi Guys, I am amazed at the photos they are beautiful.......I cannot wait to see you in December. You look like you are still enjoying yourself's I am pleased to say. The places you have been to are beautiful and I cannot wait to hear more. I will wait patiently for the next instalment, love Mum xxxxxxx

Hi you twos. My Oh My what lucky people you are to be experiencing such beautiful sights as your photos prove. I am so very envious. Also very happy for the both of you that it is still fun and exploritory for you. I can't believe you have reached Darwin so quickly it must be 3000 miles from Adelaide !!!

Right. I have sorted out your money transfer to Edie Young and have eaten the haggis I bought back from Scotland for you. It was grrrrreat. Nothing to report from this end that will interest you so until the next time - Stay alert and safe. Miss you both, DAD XXXX

(we even saw a few wild crocs!) and they wernt someones shoes!!!! we've eaten well, mostly pasta and sauce but we've had a few bbq's when we've been able to but and cook the food! nothing unusual has been eaten by either of us, think Ricky may be getting withdrawel symptons!

well congratualtions to both Kirsty and Robert! becky sent me the pics and they are lovely, she looks beautiful, can you believe she'll be nearly one when i get to met her?? kirst i did have to hold me breath i was hopeing you wenrt gonna say your pregnant! i told you you need a ring on your finger before having another one!!!! aw josh is so lucky and (unlucky) he wont know whats hit him all those rules and regulations again! hehe im sure hell love being at nursery again! well start savin that money for the big day!!! dont worry about boring me im use to it now!!! although i do miss it!
