Hi All, we have arrived safely! Its 27C and sunny at 9.50am! Flights all went well, no delays, but its just a bloody long way. Last leg was on Lucky Lady which can't be a bad omen. Heading off now to do a bit of exploring before we can check in, map in hand and geography degrees under our belt. Then tonight we are off to observatory hill to watch the fireworks. First impressions very good, chatty taxi driver and plenty of backpackers around. Hope all is we...

Ok so todays the day! Bag all packed, ticket in my back pocket, goodbyes said. Thank you to everyone for making it a special Christmas. 2007 was a good year for me so lets just hope 2008 continues that way. Let the adventure begin. Hayley x
