Well I start a 5 day tour of Katherine and Kakadu parks that day so am hoping to bond with the group by encouraging them to get pissed with me round the campfire!

Photos and journal update added - enjoy!

Hey homo, so what plans for your birthday!?!

Hey lady- have emailed you... check you messages if you get a chance..... love ya!! xxx

Youre just jealous Marc - just cos you wanna go off down the rapids snuggled up in a 2 man kayak with him! :)

trip down the river with Tim.... the poor bloke would never be seen again! i can't see either of them going for that, although i think it would be pure comedy. where are you off to next Tams?

I hope your welcome song was Wooooaaaahhhh Albion!
You're getting well into this Kayaking lark - You and Tim can enjoy romantic paddles down the Avon on your return!
Cant believe you will be home soon - its gone well quick. Missing You xxxxxxxxxx

Update on the journal. Enjoy!

Nah - cant be arsed. He has Alzeimers now anyway and wont remember that I wasnt there. Only joking bro! Love ya!

Hi Tams,
looking good in the pics! You must have been scuttled countless times by all those good looking Kiwi's by now!
Your BF must be hating it!
Well done on the canyon swing, there's no way in the world that I'd have been doing that.
You going to be back for your big bro's party?
If I'm going to make the effort to come all the way down from Edinburgh, it's only fair that you come back from NZ!
Take care mate,
Chubbers

No change there then.

almost 30 and getting old and confused.

looking bloody greeeet! nice one Sis! Sounds like your having a most excellent time.dude. Not sure about the clock tower photo though...one for the Redlynch and Lover Parish Magasine?! The canyon swing looks deadly...well done for doing it, I cracked up thinking about you being all sheepishly quiet on the bus journey!!
I took the big green ***** bus up the coast of OZ to before meeting Burnside and SuperDave. Was a wonderful 'experience'
anyhoo all is well here, and back at work bruised and battered after building house extension last week...my builder didn't turn up so when I see him i'm gonna kick him in the nuts. luv ya, BYE!
