Hiya Oli, Glad you got to Oz safe in one piece for the next part of the adventure. I spent my first hour at work very productively looking through your new pics and the journal, a very nice start to the week! The snake pics are well scary I, the fried insects did put me off my brekkie mind! That is disgusting but I am sure dad would be proud, he always say you got to try all types of food once. I am off to dads tonight for Azines 1st Birthday so I will send them all your love. Have fun in Oz and good luck finding a job - make sure you do not land an office one, I can't quite see you behind a desk for eight hours! Lots of Love Sara xxxx

Moring 'Cobbers' glad you old 'poms' and the the new arrival Chris all arrived safely in the great land of 'Oz'!! I fear much of the luxurious existance will be behind you now as you taste the delights of the 'Oz Hostels' and not so much of the sand and sea just the odd 'bilabong' to wallow in from now on 'mates'. Have a great time and let us know if you meet the great man himself cos I think he is on holiday in 'Oz' this year to get away from the poms and all that painting ... yes say hello to Rolf if you see him. Oh nearly forgot beware of the 'Waltzing Matildas' as I believe they are the same as Thailand Lady Boys... See ya Mates

Hey guys, Just a quick message to say that we have arrived safely in Melbourne. The flight over was okay, bit of turbulance but nothing too bad. Got to our hostel 'The Nunnery' and they didn't get our booking apparently so after a long wait they finally managed to get us in. It's alright though, totally different to the places we have stayed in previously! Anyway, better go but shall be on again soon. Bye for now x PS. Not long till we go meet Chris at the airport!
