Ray and Amy Hello again! yes we are still alive and having loads of sun, sea and surf now that we are in Australia. We have put some new photo's on the site so you can have a look if you like. We have made our way up from Melborne, through Sydney and are now about half way up the east coast. We have just been through Byron Bay which is awesome, loads of people but still a nice town and beach. We have done loads of boogie boarding and even tried a bit of surfing, i think we need some expert instruction though! Hope everyone at home is ok, the weather hasn't been superb over here but it is getting alot hotter now. We are heading up to Brisbane tommorow after a pub and club crawl in Surfer's Paradise tonight. See you all soon, Keep posting the gossip.
