Where does the time go? It seems only yesterday when we arrived into Sydney for Christmas and New Year. Three weeks have since passed.

For us, christmas provided exactly what we needed. The level of comfort afforded during this period of our journey is unprecidented. So we ate and drank our way through the festive period, enjoyed a night out or two with our friends from back home and returned to the tourist trail almost straight after New Year. We clambered into our Holden Commodore and shoe horned our possessions together with Sue's parents and crusied off into the wilderness. Well, Paramatta actually. Blue Mountains crossed off and a visit to the Olympic Park behind us, we headed north to Hunter Valley. An overnight stop became a three day schlap round the winery's. Very educational. Did you know you should store opened red wine in your fridge? No, neither did we.

We are currently residing in the NSW holiday town of Port Macquarie - the pronounciation of which still centres our post dinner conversations.

The weather has played tricks with us so far, though sat here in the internet cafe, it seems to be offering some inticement. We are off to the pool. Now get on with your work.
