Australia Zoo. We took a trip up to Australia Zoo at the weekend. This meant an early start to miss the traffic and so I could get back in time for work at 6. It was well worth it. Australia Zoo was set up by Steve Irwin's mum and dad back in the 1980s and was then taken over by Steve and his wife Terri in the 90s when they renamed it to...Australia Zoo. It is still run by Terri with both the children, Robert and Bindi taking an active role in the zoo with t...

Whilst these were going on there was forest fires on the West Coast which ravaged quite a lot of the land in WA and a lot of homes were destroyed as well.

We were stranded up there though as there was no way of getting into th...

Flew down to Sydney on Hogmany as Santa had got us all tickets to go and see David Guetta on Bondi Beach. Flight was short but flying into Sydney was pretty cool. Right over Botany Bay. We met up with Big Davy who had arrived in Aus the day before. Good to see the man. Still cant believe that he is out here. Never thought he would come when he told us way back in the Counting House that he would see us out here. Wearing his kilt as well, top man. Takes so...
