Hey guys,

Sorry to hear that you haven't been well, Hope you are on the mend now.

How is Perth? We're flying there on the 7th November, looking forward to it!

In Malaysia at the mo, at Taman Negara, lovely rainforest but so many bugs! Worse than Ko Pha Ngan by far! Going to Singapore soon for a few days too!

Take care, safe travels, enjoy the east coast! x x x

Hellooooooo travellers!

Sorry not been on for AGES, been away for 3(ish) weeks. Loving the photos. Sorry to hear about your ailments (is that how you spell it??) Anyway, that's not much cop -you're not supposed to be ill on holiday!!

I was ill on my holiday too, but that was due to the morning after a pirate party (WHO invited the rum???!!!) and a particularly choppy crossing to the next island I was quite poorly sick and had to hang on to the matress so I didn't fall off! Been back a week and only just stopped swaying...

Anyway, must go Brook and Ted are sitting at the bottom of the stairs waiting for their walk and making me feel guilty... ...and hungover.... (oh no, thats my fault, again.)

Laters!

All I have to say Gem is ....... spot the project manager you are more organized than I am!!!!!xxxx

PS. Clocks go back in UK today/tonight (2am Sun 28 Oct) The clocks do not change in Alice (Northern Territory don't change their clocks) but in VIC and NSW (Mel and Sydney for non-travellers reading this) they go forward tonight. This means that while you are in Alice, you will be 10 hours ahead of UK and when you get to Melbourne, you guys will be 11 hours ahead of the UK.

Another useful travel tip from your cuz

Hi guys

Pleased to hear you are both feeling better. Funny what you said about Aussie TV - it is cheesy, especially the adverts! You will also notice how many advert breaks there are (especially annoying during a movie!). It has been freezing here so make the most of the warmth in Alice. I have never been there so am really looking forward to hearing about your trip and seeing the photos. By the way, I heard about some wierd activity by a bar maid in a pub in Perth. Think Adam wants to know if Chris went there?!!! see link - http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22651127-5001021,00.html

love Gem and Adam xx
