Hi ya!
Do you think the chinese buffet might have made you sick?
Brisbane certainly seems more lively! Am intrigued by Great Ocean Road tour?
I don't think there has been any reported cases of swine flu in Thailand so I wouldn't worry but you can monitor the situation before you leave!
Just got in from 24hr shift but feeling remarkably sprite (will probably be asleep by 7pm)!
Did inadvertently send one service user to the wrong day care centre today but everyone was very nice about it!
Spare a thought for Sophie who had her first exam today (it's hard to think that this time last year that was you, bet you glad its not now)!
Have fun!
Love you lots

Hi guys.
Haven't forget you - still looking at all the blogs and photos.
And still enjoying it all.
Canberra tour seemed great.
One thing though - why not have a few ciders at night must be bars around? Don't want to chill every night. Can do that at home!
And cash is no problem for you.
All good here played two cricket games at park already in great weather. Rolled the wicket today - and v warm and sunny with both dogs trailing after me.
Seeing Roy Keane in morning for press conference before the final game of the season against Coventry on Sunday.
Mum working over tonight so speedway soon then back to a lonely house.
Spoke to Daniel on Sunday and he is v well as you can see and enjoyed his break in Oz.
Norma and Terry left for a 17-day cruise in Med today - but not before handing over my birthday gift!!!
Take care and continue to enjoy.

HEY MELBOURNE TRAVELLERS.......
Oh sounds like is gonna be a good trip.
Cant wait to read about it.
tell lil alex that arsenal lost 1-0 to man u away in the champions league semi final-boo hoo.
Had a long day today and an early tomorrow so in shower, check your blog, quick drink, phoned deb and mum and then bed to be up at 5.30. works not for me lovey!!!
Enjoy. love you lots xxxxxxxxxxxx

Glad to see and read that you are still enjoying travelling around oz.
Melbourne is a great spot, but you need to know what to do/see. I suggest that you head for the tourist bureau at federation square and pick up literature about what to see.
The MCG is worth a look inside on the tour or try to catch a game over weekend.
Brunswick street is a interesting place to go and have a look at for alternative shopping. The deli counters at victoria market are great for food.
A trip down the ocean road is recomended too.

Enjoy
