Hello everyone!! Sorry for the very long silence... we have been out of touch with the internet for sometime now so haven't been able to keep the blog up to date. As there's only 5 days until I return to the UK and leave Dave in the outback with Ed, I'll write a proper one when I'm home, so I don't miss anything. But also so that I can upload all the pictures between Adelaide and Perth (believe me, there are hundreds!!) So, for now, we're in Brisbane having tr...

G'day everyone! It's been a while since we last gave you some news and yes, we are still alive in Melbourne!

It was a very odd feeling being back in Auckland again after so long, but it was comforting in a way that we knew our way around and could easily find some food and our hostel. We went back to City Garden Lodge and ended u...

WE SOLD THE CARRRRRRRRR!!!! Yay! We just thought we'd share that happy bit of news with you all. Having given ourselves two weeks, we managed to sell it in 4 days. Not bad going considering the flood of sellers and definite lack of buyers. We made a bit of a loss on what we bought it for, but only a couple of hundred dollars, so at the end of the day, it's been far cheaper than renting the car because we got most of our money back so we're happy. So, before we a...
