We wish you a safe trip back to Melbourne then Dunedin. You should have a good tan to show off to everyone. Maybe even a funny accent? Talk soon xxx

Hi, you two are still having plenty of adventures although sounds like one that you would rather forget Stephanie! We are looking forward to the warmer weather here. Last night they had on TV the place to spend your summer holidays is Karitane which sounds alright to me. All good here have had my first rehab at the Physio pool. Always something to be done. Hard life this retirement!! Yeah right.
Cheers Marj

Hi, your map is having a crazy time! Have been getting my emails? Glad to see you both so happy, love Diane

Hi just been catching up on your blog what an amazing time you are having I bet you are having heaps of laughs. Went to Hanmer Springs a couple of weeks ago and woke up to snow. has been a very cold winter or are we just getting old? Minus 6 this morn but beautiful day now. Our lambing is over one pet we are still feeding. Megan Chris and kids are off to America at beginning Sept - San Frans- los Ang and Disneyland and back beginning October so will be very quiet here.
Guess who is going to do the office work. Yeah!! Going for lesson tomorrow - may be a bit rusty. Keep up the messages they are great.
Chris will be able to write a book when you get back. Safe travels

Hello from Silverton, staying in a wee cottage. Just been reading your blog. We are great, having a ball. Hope all is well. Keep having fun :) xxx

Hi, just up and been reading your blog, filling your days in nicely, must be nice to be seaside again, beach looks great from your photos, went out for diner last night at a fairly new restraint called Sila. They parked us by the door but we had to ask to be moved as it was freezing. since finishing work I find myself surprisingly busy, days seem to go quickly by, good that you are getting a varied experience, Desert, beaches, lots of towns, mixing with other campers and taking time to check out the museums and local history. Food sounds OK also.
We are away to Haka on a hunting weekend next week so hopefully have some fun in the hills, also going to draw up plans to put a new lounge on to the crib.
Anyway enjoy your day, get some more sand between your toes , crank up that BBQ and knock off some stubbies

Cheers Peter & Di

Hi guys, what a great trip you two are on! We have -3 this morn in Mosvegas and making for dangerous roads! Went over to North Taieri Rav last night where Gary was the resident batman while Ken and Wendy went out for night. He fitted in perfectly, even cooked us sausages, wedges and bread with trimmings of tomato sauce

Hi to you both we are enjoying your blog ,sounds like you are really having the trip of a lifetime so many exiting things to see and do and it is warm unlike over here where it is freezing cold. We are going up to Blenheim tomorrow for a few days and going on a day trip to Wellington to Te Papa and a look around and will trip to Nelson and a few other places so looking forward to that. Safe travels and take care, Sue and Mike.

Hi Chris & Richard. Great to hear from you and that you are getting around and about. 25 deg sounds ok to me a bit better than 33 that we get. We are in Jabiru and it has been overcast and windy this afternoon which is quite nice for a change. Safe travelling talk soon. Xxx

Hi Guys, we are in Bargara tonight and off to the town of 1770 tomorrow. Not as warm as you but still a very pleasant 25 degrees after the low numbers at home !! A lot to see and do up here don't think we will get it all done but will give it a good shot. Don't think I'll be swimming but it looks like you have it well under control up there. Look forward to the next instalment , take care
Chris and Richard xx
