Anne and Mike Visit!!! We were honoured to have Zoe's parents with us for a couple of weeks. It was brilliant to see them and we really enjoyed spending time with them in and around Melbourne. Think we've convinced Mum to come and live here as she loved the shopping, food, wine and lifestyle... Next, they're on to Brisbane, Fraser Island, Whitsundays and Sydney! We hope they have as much fun there as we did! Photos to come, but parents have now taken our lapto...

While she was in Melbourne we did loads of things including the Vic market, BBQ by the Yarra, eating cake in St Kilda and watching the 'Weston Bulldogs' in an Aussie Rules final at the MCG (to mention a few). On the Monday of her stay we picked up a car and set off on a five day adventure to Ad...

Cairns to Melbourne (home) Cairns wasn't too exciting after all the pretty places we had been on our travels. I persuaded Nick that after the last three days of rain in the camper a hotel was needed and the hot bath and comfy bed was greatly appreciated after our big trip. The way home was trouble free, thanks to our housie Joel for arranging us the best seats on the flight and giving us passes for the Quantas lounge at the airport. Nick made good use of the...
