3rd April Well here we are on the eve of our departure from OZ! As I sit here the girls have all just crashed out after watching High School Musical 2 in the campground cinema and there are bags all over the van. I wanted to finish off the Australia leg of the BLOG before we leave for Singapore and then home. We woke up to our second day in Cape Tribulation on Tuesday to a very soggy campground.
