Set off on our last little organised tour in OZ from Sydney to Melbourne. Our first stop en-route was Canberra the capital. The war memorial was huge and full of info Keeley wanted to go to the kids play bit straight away. Unfortunately for Keeley the helicopter was full of kids and I declined to dress in period clothes so she could not really play. On to the Parliment building which is built inside a hill an amazing building and you can walk on top of parliment....

Left Byron and the rain behind arrived at surf camp to sunshine. A bit aprehensive about the surf lesson after nearly drowning on Rainbow beach. However the waves this time were tame compared did not drown at all and managed to ride a magority of the waves into the beach. Keeley spent a lot of time on hers knees on the board but did manage to stand on a least one occasion. We arrived in Sydney next evening went to a pub where we were supposed to get free food a...

On the road again stopped in Rockhampton where instead of lunch Keeley, Sarah and I went to look at the customs house. Keeley and Sarah not too impressed and I got bitten by a vicous fly this however was the main tourist attraction. That evening we arrived in Krombit the cattle station. Most of the people spent sometime playing with whips and failing to make a succesful crack. After dinner of beef and goat (Keeley not into eating farm animals) we got to ride the...
