Ye Olde Wrinklye CJ Aloha mon ami, bienvenue, wilcommen und wie komme zum bahnhof bitte etc... I'm multi lingual, can't you tell?? Yay- home soon! ...but in the meantime, thought I'd say howdy and lookin forward to hearing all the tasty details of your triptastic. Enjoy the last weeks of your adventures and take care x Catcha later dude x CJ

Mum Just a quick message - hope you had a wicked time at Cape Tribulation and enjoyed the rainforest trek. Did you enounter any of our eight-legged friends?? Dad saw Elaine and Billie off at the airport on Sunday night, so by now they should be home in Newcastle. Have a great weekend catching up with Leanne. Take lots of care Love you Mum xxxx

Mum and Dad Hi Sharon, You seem to be having a wicked time, don't enjoy yourself too much or you won't want to come home!!! and you must because I'm missing you sooooooo much. You seem to have been away ages and ages and ages!! Looking forward to seeing your photos sometime soon. Dad said remember to list yourself on the flight to Adelaide in plenty of time. The tickets on the cheap airline are for Tues, Thurs or Sunday and you have told Leanne you'll be in Adelaide on Friday 6th October, are you planning to catch the Thursday flight and then stay in a hostel for one night before meeting up with her? This would seem a better option. You could also list for the Friday flight on Qantas, but if you don't use it please remember to cancel your standby listing if you travel on Thursday on the other airline. You can do this at the check in desk. Sorry to be boring, but thought you may have forgotton all this. Continue to enjoy the Oz lifestyle. Have you picked up the accent yet? Love, as always Mum and Dad xxx

Clarabella The Great Hey Baztastic, how's it hangin'? Sorry about the drunken texts the other day... it's quite perfect though this time difference malarkey, cos it means one of us will always be sober (in theory) enough to amusingly recall the nonsense the other sends! Glad you've got some sun going on now, although I'd prefer it if you didn't come back too tanned, please. My Bulgaria colour has entirely faded already. I never hold on to it for long... unlike my photos - I have just this weekend got an album for our Cypress pics!! You know me - I like to take my time over things. Anyway, I'll speak to you soon (possibly when I'm 25!!! Eurgh!!!) x CJ

Leanne Hey Shazza, Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks - what time on Friday 6th will you be here? I am working that day & will have to pick you up from Adelaide - as like most ozzies i live in the middle of whoopwhoop & there is no public transport.!!!! Can not wait to sample some of our local vino's with you. Lots of love Leanne xxx

Mum Hi Sharon, You seem to be having a great time!!! Glad the weather is getting better. Have you encountered any of our eight legged friends yet???? On my way to work each day I see that giant poster of a tarantula that is being posted up at bus stops. It's on the one by Harefield village pond - not what I want to see each morning eh!!! Hope your back is holding out with that heavy rucksack you have to keep lugging around with you. Hope your liver is coping with all the alcohol you seem to be consuming - take care! Oscar is missing you too Lots of love and kisses Mum xxxx

Clare Hello snookums, sounds like you're conducting yourself in precisely the way I would expect you to (drunk and disorderly!). I take it form the silence that you didn't actually get my attempts at texting you. But for the record - I have been trying!! Well, I'm so cool that since you've been gone I've been out on the town precisely zero times. Get in! Anyway, pleased you're having fun and can't wait for the pictorial update.
