We're just watching the champions league final ( 1-1 - just gone to extra time!) and looking at your photos and are both green with envy! It looks like you're having the most awesome time! All your pics look amazing and the blog is fab! Keep it up!
Charlie and Georgie's party was a lovely day - about the best weather so far this year but nothing in comparison to what you're no doubt now used to!
I've finally finished uni (wahoo!) and am now job hunting (boo!) - just waiting for results now so fingers crossed. James is ok too - both looking forward to getting away in a few weeks and hopefully having as much sun and fun as you guys!
Not really much else to report. Your pics really made us laugh - especially alex the fish and the nudist beach photos you naughty exhibitionists! Keep having fun - enjoy every minute as we're sure you are and stay safe!
Lots of Love

PS - I'm so jealous of summer bay outing - i love it!!! Alf is James's fave - you great gallah!
It was lovely to hear your voice this week. I miss are chats. You both seem to aving fun, experimenting all the aussie ways of life. The weather the past week has been in true British style - sun at first (not for long), then the rest of the week rain!!!! Nothing changes. Just to let you know that Sue is back in hos,not to good at the moment, as her blood count is down. They are trying to rectify it, and to get it back up. That's why Abigail was here on Friday. We made a picnic basket for her to take to her mum. Dad has been on his course today, and has come back really enthuastic. He took one of the foto's Al took at christmas, framed it for Grandma and Grandad. It looks really good, he has done fantastic job. My job has been advertised at long last, so obviously I have applied, so it's the waiting game to see if i get an interview. Dad didn't play cricket yesterday as it was raining - what's new it's the cricket season. Bobbie has this week started her GCSE's so I expect she's getting flustered at the thought of exams. I have also applied to continue my other qualification, which start's in Sept, and have been accepted so at the computer I shall be for a few months again. When will i learn to slow down.
the pics are stil lookin good, especially the surfin ones love both of urs attempts to surf!!!
i went out with everyone from uni last nite and got home at 7am and started drinkin at 4 in the afternoon straight from uni.tru stduent style!!!
miss you love you

As ure going up towards cairns then i recommend that you go to great keppel island its really nice, they don't have any cars or electricity its all run off a generator, but u do have to shower in salt water.
I presume that fraser island is already on ure list, its fantastic just remember to take mosquito spray as on the way home there are loads and it really hurts.
Really enjoying the blog and photos so keep goin with it, be safe and hopefully c u soon

Had a great day yesterday for Charlie/Georgie`s birthday. The weather was lovely. (It was a lovely weekend - first Sunday I`ve played golf and not got wet for 6 weeks!). Have a look at the photos of the party at http://picasaweb.google.com/dwalker2754
Mike`s family came up, you can see Mike`s Dad Charlie is one of the pics. Everybody asking about you and Andrew said he would leave a message with advice on that part of the coast - he mentioned he`d been to the Lighthouse at Australia`s most easterly point with Liz. I have forwarded your blog details.
How`s the finger now Lorna? Keep healthy
Dad
Photos look great again, I like the sunsets! Love the Python video ( not as funny as the original Python though! I`m expecting the next video to have a dead parrot in it )
I must admit I was surprised originally that you weren`t going to have more stops on the way back or out, so it makes sense to see a bit of Asia. A bit of R & R in Thailand sounds a good idea.
Carlos
Hi buddy,
6 weeks down already - its like you only just left. The photos look like you are starting to get some better weather - i even approve of the black shorts - like only havin a rucksack is an excuse..!
Psycho boy is back with a vengeance!!! He messed up my front door on Thursday with gym weights - as well as the nice touch of spitting thru my letterbox - my nice touch was to have him arrested - AGAIN!
The footie news - Man U won the title - Chelsea only drew with Bolton - Everton pipped Villa to 5th - i think u r in the intertoto? Blues beat Blackburn but still got relegated with Reading as Fulham won - and from Jamie Hughes facebook page i think the branches may have beaten P.O...
Startin to miss our banter chap - typin it aint quite the same - really want to slate your hair on some of the photo's and then see your reaction..! I miss that...
Keep on havin an amazing time - all the best fella...
Your mate Carl

Hi Alex & Lorna - I've finally had chance to have a look at your blog site - it looks wicked there (I am very very jealous!)
I've had a week off work doing nothing but chillin out round the house which has been bliss after the last fews weeks at work (thus had time to catch up with you!)
I'm banning Gary from looking at your blog or he will get wonderlust and drag me off somewhere!
By the way OF COURSE Alf is a legend in his own time -you are not worthy - lol !!!!
Which part has been your best part of your trip so far? Is it a place or experience?
Must go now so make sure you both take care of yourselves!

G'Day,
Were on our last night in Byron and we are heading towards Surfers Paradise tomorrow. So we thought we'd take the opportunity to reply to your messages over the past couple of weeks. Sorry we couldn't do this sooner.
Helen and Chris - The dolphins were amazing, wait until you read the next blog its even better. I was ssooo excited. Well done Dad i'm really pleased for you, how many runs did you get? Did you wicket keep? Who were you playing, sorry i missed it. So mum how much of dads money did you spend in Bister, or is that the other way round?! Blimey dad your turning into a right (non)gardener im impressed. Hows the framing going? Hows the cards going mum? Als hair has grown loads and he's not cutting it either.
Diane and David - Dad we forget to say about visiting another country on our way back. Were pretty sure we want to go to Thailand and were going to see if we can take an alternative route home to stop off. We might be able to change our flight for 50pound which is good. Mum thanks for sending nans address a postcard will be sent tomorrow, so let her know its on the way.
Hannah - Missing you loads too smell. Did you have a nice few days at home? How was Manchester? Did you get upto any silly antics? I hope Sophie is well.
Dan and Mike - Sorry we can't be at the party this weekend, hope it goes well, say hi to everyone for us and give the kids a kiss. Dan hows the job going? Mike have you made any progress with the offers?
Leah - Lorna preferred Summer Bay to myself, she was well excited when she met Alf Stewart. Aparantly he's a legend?? Hows work?
Carol and Simon - We do have a $1 carrier from Coles, but we also have a very posh $3 cool bag too.
Sarah and Gavin - Al is looking after me sweetie, so try not to worry about me too much. I hope Gavin is doing the same. Well it's good news for us Albion fans about the Villa, ha ha especially as he's with your dad at the Albion next season. You getting a season ticket too? Well i'm sure your getting on ok with the clothes issue, but i know how your feeling. You still enjoying your new job?
Carl - It seemed pretty likely that the Albion would get promoted, thank god that the Villa have started doing well. So at least we'll beat you at football. I hear that Julie is back from her cruise, so hopefully the union work load will come down. My wardrobe is a rucksack so just get to wear whats at the top and is reasonably clean.
Shaw - The bridge climb was amazing, a little nerving on the way up though with the mesh steps. Hows cricket going?
Paul and Carol - Sounds like you had a great holiday in Italy. Congratulations on your anniversary and to Carol for her birthday. Thanks again for the tip on Manly.
Ian - Yeah were definately going to the GBR, we are looking at doing our PADI there. The croc park at Port Douglas sounds cool as we were going to go there too. Were not going into the mainland, although we are looking at driving from Cairns to Darwin.
Lou - That sounds wicked, you'll both have a great time. Is Jon going away with the lads? Hows work going? Are you doing more co-ordination? Were in Byron at the moment and about to go to Surfers Paradise.
Tony - What have you been up to lately then? Did you enjoy your holiday? My email address is: [email protected] so let me know what you need help with.
We hope you are all well. We look forward to your replies.
Miss You
Lorna and Al
