Have uploaded a few photos although they are the typical tourist pictures, we forgot to take our cameras to other places such as Bondi. For the past few days it has unfortunately been raining so we were quite limited for trips on the 2nd half of the week, though the first half was scorching and we're sure to have very...

Not a lot to mention really, Ash pretty much summed up everything in our last journal. (apart from my bravery of ano...
