We decided to get out of Stanthorpe for New Year and however much we wanted to be in Sydney it was just too far. So we travelled to Brisbane and enjoyed an excellent night. Mike liked the breakdancers and Amy liked the fireworks! We are staying in the city for a week before journeying back to Sunny Stanthorpe (yeah right!) Christmas was quiet (unsuprisingly). We spent the morning with a few friends on the campsite and then took up an offer from a young English c...

Hi Guys, We have done a few days fruit picking so far which is great as we now have a bit more money. There's not too much to do around here except laze about by the pool (which explains why we only have pool pictures in the album). Be sure to check out our Christmas wish-list on the message board. We really are serious about the mayonnaise! The weather has been a bit rubbish recently; stormy, cold, wet so it feels just like home lol! We have set up an Aus...

Hi Guys, We had to leave Sydney earlier than we wanted to due to the fact that we could find no work... so fruit picking it is!

We are very grateful that we bought it here instead of bringing one with us as it has sooooo many ventilation areas, we would have died by now in one made for cold countries!! It gets so hot in the mornings. Amy had an amazing 21st, thank you to everyone who sent presents and cards. The show was called The Hospital, it was in Norweigen and consisted of 3 bored war nurses, who went mad. We went on a ghost tour arou...

Hi everyone... So we flew into Canberra from Perth where we bought a car! We didnt see too much of Canberra which is why there are no photos. Western Australia, however, we loved. We drove from Canberra to Batemans Bay. We visited Kiama's Blowhole (a hole in a cliff that the waves come up through like a whale blowing water) and stayed our first night in our new tent. It had started raining by this point (just what we wanted) so when we moved to Kangaroo ...
