Hi there! Well, last time I wrote I had just returned from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland and was recovering from sea sickness and trying to walk in a straight line! Since then, I have been quite busy on the sight-seeing front. Last Friday I took mum to see ‘La Traviata’ at the opera house. We got really dressed up and had a fantastic evening. The opera was great, and due to the words being translated into English, I enjoyed it a lot more, as I co...
