Sounds like a brilliant day! Looking forward to seeing the photos. How has the Queensland shirt gone down, or is it too hot to wear it? Wet and windy here, but half term next week - couple of games of golf :) Good to hear from Jess. Give her our best wishes when you meet. Dad xxx

Hey- haven't had a chance to wear it yet as it's way to hot, even in the evening! Will def get it out at some point though!! xxx

Hey my traveling friend.. Hope you are enjoying the true heat and sunshine that we have hear down under. Its great isn't it? Glad to hear you got to swim on the reef.. Dont worry you will see plenty of great beaches as you make your way down the east coast.. esp in New south wales.. I see that your flying from syd to melb are you flying in to tullamarine or avalon airport? Enjoy Aussie Land dont get too lobster faced heheh..

Hey- loving the heat although my skin isn't!! Stocked up on sun cream and after sun now!! Yeh I will be flying in to Melbourne but I'm not sure which one yet- I'm gonna book it nearer the time with Tiger airline! Cheaper than getting the bus between the two! Should be in Melbourne in at some point around the 4th April though!!

Good to hear the weather is improving. Can't believe the Aussie beaches are not great. Maybe a bit warmer than Whitley Bay though!. Get those trainers on and show them that poms don't spend all day sitting down. Thats the name of the game! Love Dad xxx
