Michael M George Sorry to hear the weather is still not good but you do seem to be making the most of any drier times. When do you move on from Brisbane and where is your next stop? We are enjoying being at home at the moment and Grandad is busy putting the finishing touches to our new kitchen. Love Nan, Gdad

Mo Hi Em, loving your blogs and updates and smiling at your weather reports, knowing that later in your Tours Thailand will be humid and wet as well I reckon, hope you have packed a rain mac :))x Anyway, I have a day off today, and our walking girls go off to Northumberland - north east coast line and beaches up near holy island, booked self catering at Bilton Barns, looks a posh place, for rest, walking and chill-out. Taking my netbook so hope to get a internet hookup, so keep blogging and exploring Oz, Emma sytle, ignore the weather and have fun Mo xx

Emma Luckily for me mo you are wrong, when I'm in Thailand it is their dry and hot season. South africa will be hot but may also be wet! But I do have a rain mac you will be pleases to hear (& it's already had good use!). hope you have a great weekend. Nan and grandad, I am currently in noosa but moving on to rainbow beach this afternoon and from there going to Fraser island on a self-drive guided tour. I look forward to seeing pics of the kitchen, lots of love, Emma xxx
