Hiya Claire, By the time you receive this you will be up in Cairns, North Qld. We tried to ring you this morning but you must have been on the 'plane as it said 'out of area'. We hope that you had a good flight and you met up with Gemma. What about those severe floods ? Isn't Cairns on the edge of it all? Have fun in Queensland and take care. We will ring you in another few days, Cheers from Rhoma and John xx

Hi glad to see you are still having a good time, I liked the last entry & the photos are good, I have sent you a couple on E mails with family updates. speak soon Love mum x x

Claire Happy birthday for the 22nd. I hope you are having a good time at Bondi. I went to Billys last Sunday, thought I might catch you but you had already moved on. Have you met any interesting people down there? What is the work situation like? Today is Wed 24/1. The rain is absolutely perssisssting down up here. The house is progressing. The doors should be on today to lock it up. I am still working on the boundary fence, it should be finished by 1/2/07. Let us know how you are going as we are interested in your travels. Regards Bob
