A. Springs Alice, Alice who the f**k is Alice ? Wheres all the aussie photos then ??....don't tell me the outback doesn't have internet cafes ? Or is it Jo is not permitted in them (unless topless and working behind the bar) ? Regards, Uluru (the artist formally known as A Springs)

Izzy p.s - Daddy can't get his phone to send messages to Mum. Last night he threw it across the room in disgusting.x

Izzy Thanks for your postcard Uncle KangaRoose and Auntie little Joey. Daddy keeps moaning that australia is better than england, and he keeps watching foorball. I don't like football, it's very boring. You gonna on a plane ? Lots of Love Izzy..zz.

Lucky Linus Hey Mum and Stu, Lucky Linus is glad to be on board and very glad that he's not hearing any tales from exotic far away places about Russel's nightly toilet expeditions to wardrobes and any unsuspecting persons that happen to be in the vicinity ! Love to all and in keeping with strange nicknames that appear so often on this site d*** Splash Daz from Alcatraz is signing off ! Russ can explain that one , i bet he can't wait.

Alli P FANTASTIC PHOTOS!!!!!!

James Blunt Look you two, this is a serious discussion forum for those interested in our antipodean adventures; not some bloody triumph owners club chat room!!! Happy New Year Daz and Ali, some top comments. All four wheels are securely fixed on our bus!!

Mum & Stu Super piccys of Sydney. Cant wait to take our own. Also looking forward to going over that wonder ful looking HIGH BLOODY BRIDGE! Pleased to see you both looking so well in the piccys. Hair looks more like my Roose! We are going for a full on No: 1 for Oz so watch out for two baldies when we meet! So pleased to see Lucky Linus on the board! Love the car not sure about the tent. Will THAT fit 4? Getting back packs tomorrow - how big?? I can smell dins now so will close and see you soon with lots of love.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lucky Linus Nice one Jutes! Good to see you still have your sense of humour i just spent the last ten mins laughing my (now rather ample, middle age ) t*** off! Three wheels on my wagon eh?Hope Russ is getting all this . I had to explain to Alison what i was doing rolling around on the floor , legs in the air giggling like a little girl .So i had to tell her it was cos i forgot to do the wheel nut up, i don't think that inspired much confidence as i look after her Morris Traveller! Happy new year to you all Daz + Ali

Jutes Who the fook is Gerry ? (great thongs on the bloke though). Good to see some real Aussie sunshine with Xmas trees; takes me and Drin' back a few years. You'll be glad to know that I moved my Herald this week to the new house, in the lashing rain. I would have given you a call Linus - We've could have towed it together with all 'three wheels' done up tightly. Boom Boom. Hope you had a great new year. Jutes aka Jase.

Mr M The usual quality images. Particularly fond of the series of photos featuring the new bus next to landmarks. Really good to see pictures of you on Christmas Day - bit of a contrast to last year; sad but happy to see you still had a great day. Mrs M was pleased to put a face to the legend that is Gerry. Keep the images etc. coming...M's x

Lucky Linus Great pictures you two ,very vivid images with some good photos shared with us. But that Triumph Herald convertible picture was a bit disturbing. It looked like someone had nailed a pram to the end of it , it wasn't me was it?!! Hope Jute's car is a bit better than that one . Take care of youselves Daz + Ali xx

Les M's Thank you for the txt to let us know you had posted some more photos............Wow is all we can say !!! NZ is breathtaking and that's only second hand - can't believe what it must be like to be out there. No wonder you like it so much. Loved the scenic piccies of Lake Tekapo (can water really be that colour?), Milford Sounds, Lake Wanaka (hope I spelt that right!!) and we were amazed that some of the pictures (presumably taken in Christchurch) could have been the Cotswolds in the UK, albeit without the traffic and twee antique shops!!! 2 things we have to mention.......it was worth Joey travelling round the world just to witness her wearing a pink and white coat, rather than black, dark brown or navy...........and Mr M particularly enjoyed seeing the Big Bird camping sign - I wonder why??? Keep clicking and roll on Australia !!! Miss you lots. xxxxx

Mr M New Zealand looks absolutely superb. Whar a range of scenery and all perfect. Comic value as ever spot on - like the picture of the 2 stallions ! Can't believe you managed to get a steam train in there! Get me an air ticket and a key to one of those restored cottages and I am there ! Keep the photo's etc. coming.... Mr M xx

lucky linus I bloody new it i didnt think it would take long before a scooter picture appeared, and it had to be a Vespa! Come on Russ can we have a proper scooter now please? James Blunt ? Is that cockney rhyming slang??? Reckon Jutes is more accurate with the Shaggy comparison but what i remember of Jutes he could of been called Shaggy too! Take care Daz+Ali

Busta & Nades Wow, wow and wow again!! The photos are getting better and better and Mr M was right; reading the e-mail then checkin out da photos is the best way. Are you sure you're in NZ 'cos I'm sure some of the scenery looks like the New Forest or Lake Windermere. The piccies of the Great Wall are, as quoted by The Rooster, an incredible feat of engineering. Please remember thou, NO DUMPLINGS!! utter class!
