It was great to meet you at the Barwick Cellar Door today and to hear about your travels around Oz. Sorry the weather is unseasonally cold, but probably warmer than back in the UK! Enjoy the Viognier - it goes very well with some local marron which you can cook on your BBQ. When you are in Denmark, try the Pinot Noir at Harewood and West Cape Howe.

Hi Guys totally agree with you Sydney is an amazing city and so much to offer you will find lots to see when you revisit as well i am sure, enjoy the 4x4 and keep us posted all the best

Yes we've since seen more of these birds and they are called quails here too. Very cute when the babies are in tow.

we've been following your adventures with pleasure. keep up the good work. note about the little bird with the top feather. in the US, these are quail. they mostly walk and make a little coo/warble noise, are travel in little coveys...having quite a few chicks in their brood.

Amazing photos!! What a trip!

Hi Richard & Katy

Sounds like you have had a fab time watching the Whales. It is something I would love to do myself. I really envy you being able to see such a wonderful sight. As for the sick bags. I prefer washing up bowls myself! Have fun. Julie

Enthralling account of whale watching etc. Loved the shot of tail-up and diving. How could you have an appetite after that sea-sick feeling and taking a tablet for it? Definitely five star reporting. All love, M & D

Fantastic - really feel in touch. Treat Blanche with care - we know all aboiut the space thing and standing up! Enjoy!

Thank you for that Katherine! now corrected, don't think we have fully got over our jetlag yet.

Great to hear your news but before the onslaught your blog says you are commencing Nov '09 you mean '08 i assume being as you are there now? it reminds me alot of our first time in Asia listening to your stories, enjoy it and look forward the next chapter.
