Hey, I dunno if this will be any use to you at all, but Oli has just created a website with information about travelling to and around Australia. There's loads on it, just thought I'd let you know :) It's www.embraceaustralia.com Hope you're having an amazing time, I'm very jealous of your time in Australia and NZ especially!

Lots of love

Lovely to follow your travels! The good and the bad!Makes our trip up to Bradford, Yorks, for a few days seem trivial. Must admit a most ethnic integrated city, perhaps not on the scale you are seeing though.Envy you very much the time you will have in Australia. Wish we were back there. Enjoy.
A.P. and U.D.

Hi both

Thinking of you both and following your travels with interest (and a touch of envy!) An amazing experience. Enjoy!

Love Sharon etc x

Hi Greg & Steph,

Looks like you are having a fab time, glad you got to Oz Ok. We are all missing you back in sunny Southend. Kev and I went to see Southend give Carlisle a 3-nil drumming on Saturday which was a shock! At least one of my teams has realised that scoring goals actually wins football match's!

Greg.....have a shave.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Sam.

Just a quick hi from a sunny spring-like England - absolutely beautiful here. Parcel has arrived safely and I can't wait to open the parcel tomorrow.
Love to you both
Mum

Hi there
It was lovely to hear your voice on the phone last weekend! Sorry to hear about the trip to hospital but judging from the photos you don't look any worse for the experience.
Looking forward to the next update.
Love to you both

Steph & Greg
Glad to here you celebrated Steph's birthday . Mum has taken up salsa dancing lesions , now has doggy hip & arm. Not sure how the arm is related must remember to stay out of her way when she is dancing. What am I saying you will never catch me on a dance floor. Popped in to see Grandad Sunday, in time for sippers with uncle Mick. They are following your travels and have a log of all your journals.

hi greg and steph

i hope you are ok. love the photos.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHXXXXX

lots of love mum, dad and clairexxx

Hi Greg We have a letter for you from the travel Ins. people what do we do ?????????????

Hey,

Happy Birthday. Thanks for my present. Mum was pleased to hear from you today she's been missing you loads.

I (Claire) will transfer birthday money soon when i've tracked down my card pin security reader. Hope you enjoy spending it when it finally gets to you.

Lots of love

Claire & Gareth
