G'Day all! So we've finally made it to Melbourne, our last stop in Australia. We'll all be pretty gutted to leave the East Coast, especially since the weather in New Zealand is much colder & wetter than here but the scenery over there is supposed to be well worth the sacrifice. We've just come on an overnight bus from Sydney where we spent the best part of a week and could happily have spent a couple more there enjoying the views across the bay to the Sydn...

We're back and we survived! The skydive was unbelievable and we can't wait to do another one in New Zealand! 70 seconds of freefall then another 5 minutes drifing around the skys above Byron beach dangling from a parachute. we all had personal photographers/camera men too so there'll be some great pictures on the way as soon as i manage to plug my memory card in somewhere! The video is amazing too; the look of terror in my face as i dangle out of the side of a ...

The first trip was out to the Whitsunday Island on a 76 foot scooner (wooden boat thing) for 2 days and 2 nights sleeping on the Great Barrier Reef. there was lots of snork...

We're back again after a hard week on the beach in Cairns! Think we're gonna have to start charging subscription fees for the blog now due to the extortionate amounts it costs to log on! Not a great deal to report since the last update, mostly just been enjoying the sun and many bars around Cairns. Had a great day trip out to Fitzroy Island where we saw some huge spiders, foot-long lizards and some amazing coral beaches. Stumbled across the 8th wonder of the wo...
