Ok so were really getting rubbish at blogging now, but thats cos were both working and havnt been galavanting all over the place.  We last updated after Sydney so heres a quick run down of our activities: after seeing Mick and Jay, mum, dad, paul n donna came over and we had a totally ace 2 weeks.  The day everyone went home, we set off for the Gold coast and came across some camels with some roos in a field! We stayed by the side of a road that night as...

After we did the great ocean road, which we didnt feel was that great, we decided to embark on some harvest picking. We headed inland and drove 7 hrs to a small town called Griffith, where we took the posts as onion pickers. We were out in a field in the blazing heat with about 20 Tongons who were battling with us for their pitches of onion patches - even though the field was the size of 3 football pitches! Thay even had the nerve to complain to the farmer that o...

so we are now in australia, been a very very long time since we last updated.

We then went to watch the bungy jumping where it all started, and a few off our bus did the bridge jump-crazy people, we have vowed not to participate in this insane thrill seekers activity. Not to ...

So we have now made massive progress in N.Z, and are half way down the South island already. In Rotoroa (we stayed here for 4 nights) we also went to an Irish pub quiz (and lost - badly), the rafting was wicked-this is Lee's fav activity so far, I went Zorbing. Zorbing was ace fun, you roll down a hill in a giant bubble ball full of warm water, theres one in the U.K somewhere for anyone who fancies a try! We went to the Irish pub here a lot as the food was gr...
