Hiya! We thought it was about time for a little reminder of our travels - it has been a while since we last blogged! So, we last left you as we were about to escape to Sydney from the Cyclone in Cairns. We have just realised that this now leaves us the rest of our East coast journey to tell you about - so we will attempt to break it up into bite size pieces for you. Arriving in Sydney we had our usual high hopes for sun, surfing and partying. Looking out of the...

Ok, so the picture isn't a true resemblance....the scenery was WAY more beautiful! Hehe. Anyway, a long term existing love for horses meant that this was a natural choice of activity when visiting Cape Tribulation. The ability to canter through the rainforest sounded absolutely amazing.

Our main focus for Oz was more on partying. We pictured beaches by day, beaches by night, singing...

Hey guys! Sorry for giving you another long drought of bloggage goss :) We have been away from civilisation in what could certainly not be described as a drought! We still have to tell you about New Zealand before we get onto our Oz antics.. We arrived in Auckland with no accommodation booked and only a rough idea that the Bay of Islands (a collection of 144 islands off the Northern tip of the North island, NZ) would be a good place for a chillax in the summer. ...
