Wow i've not updated this for a while!sorry dedecated followers. I can't remember where i got up to last time so i'll just tell you about Brisbane for now. The house we are staying in belongs to the cousin of my second cousin Jo if that makes sence. We can't believe how kind everyone is out here they don't even know us and have let us use their house while they are away. It's a wooden house and its on stilts bit different from the sea of concrete we live in at home eh? it is so nice to be able to cook your own food and do normal things. They are in the middle of a ten year long drought here so water restrictions are strict like 4min showers and only using a bucket to wash the car. Brisbane itself is a really nice city its clean and well organised and everywhere is landscaped, even the electrical boxes on the sides of the roads are painted by local artists. We have been to the museum and the carol concert in the park, the sunday markets are really good more like craft fairs. Tomorrow we are going to the Oz zoo which should be good, i guess i'll update after that. It is absolutely boiling here in the 30's every day!sorry it's so short hope you are all well and looking forward to christmas x x x
