New Zealand. North Island (p.s. sorry it is a long one this time) I thought I would write something before I fly to South America. I have been in New Zealand for 6 weeks now and have had a blast. Of course there was a fantastic interlude of popping back to Sydney for 5 days, but more on that later. When you read about visiting Wellington, most of the guides say it is generally wet and windy. Well it was certainly windy, but in the four days I was there I on...

Okay- this is going to be short so sorry. I have completed a trip around the south island and have packed in a lot.So I thought it would be easier iff I just listed some of the things I have done.1.

Oh and we did have the McDonalds family bucket. We vowed that this would be the last McDonalds of the ...

It seems like a life time ago since I wrote my last blog after the Whitsundays as so much has happened since then in a very short amount of time.Fraser Island was awesome fun. Although I did not get to dirve around on the island, out of 8 people inthe 4x4 only 4 could drive and I lost paper, scissors, stone so my job was checking the van and getting the alcohol - two fairly important jobs. I still stand by my comments of the fact they allow tourists to drive bi...
