Hey everyone So we've finally started travelling again and have managed to fit a lot into our relatively short time along the east coast of Aus. Managed to get all our pictures uploaded so far so take a look coz I think there are about 6 new folders!!! Apologies for posting in one big lot but it's hard to find the time and the good internet connection to post as we go. Love to you all and we miss you too xxx
