| 1st May 2007 The great wise one | Didger who - From: Surfs up! Well you now know that this instrument arrived safely at the home mansion, and one Broderick was duly appointed to play it. Well he didn't think much of it and he's now going to have words with the Vet. Still I'm sure he will enjoy listening to you when you are skilled in the art of playing ( if ever ? ) |

| 1st May 2007 The Sage | Sand - From: Team Tinfoil I wish that I could walk the white beach ( without the Dingo's of course) it all sounds superb. On to the big city lights next ? |
| 30th April 2007 The great wise one | Tinfoil - From: Team Tinfoil Gosh, it all sounds very exciting, sand, sun, boxes of goon followed by spag/bol and driving a 4 wheeler with the international set. Good for you, go for it, when you get to civalisation ( Sydney/Mel ) I guess things will change--maybe not for the better !!!! big city life , for 2 girls from the back of beyound, in Sydney don't forget to try the bar with its own brewery on the harbour and maybe the Irish named market with about 400 stalls, from memory I think its called guess what "Paddy's Market" for you female shoppers its worth 1/2 day there. Don't buy from the first stall, shop around and if you see something make an offer, if they refuse go on to a similar store and bargin with them. Part of the fun. Good hunting . |
| 27th April 2007 White Whale | Alcohol - From: Perfect paradise Good to see you in holiday mode, and would appear to have done very little research on this leg of the trip regarding intoxicating substances. I am sure that when you return to "Blightv" you will still be able to advise the committee accordingly. Continued good luck |
| 23rd April 2007 mother number 2 | paradise found - From: Perfect paradise What fantastic beaches. I have never seen sand that white - it all sounds so fantastic. Shame about the diving though. Here's us all working away day in day out (shame) and you are out there having all this fun!! Pooey - baked beans - hope their was air conditioning on that bus. You may have been useful if the bus had run out of gas though. |
| 23rd April 2007 The Sage | Foreign bodies and bumps - From: Trials and Tribulations What in heavens name is a "cassowary" --do you mean casserole--oh I know here comes lunch if we can catch it and cook it. Poor thing. Sounds like you had a bumpy journey, still take the rough with the smooth |
| 23rd April 2007 The Sage | Beans means----------- - From: Perfect paradise See you finished this blog with a flourish. The beaches sound glorious would like to walk them except for the Stingers (are you sure these are from the ocean or young auzzie lads ?). |
| 23rd April 2007 The great wise one | sand and more sand - From: Perfect paradise Sounds fantastic---but I bet no good for bucket and spade to build sand castles, pleased that you could do more diving, also less pizza = less weight= skinny, don't worry , just enjoy. |
| 23rd April 2007 Mum no 1 | Windy - From: Perfect paradise Oh dear not baked beans poor Michelle. Mind you I bet you emptied the bus. Did you do it on purpose so that you could get a good uninterrupted nights sleep??? Love you Have fun x |
| 22nd April 2007 Mother number 2 | Into the unknown - From: Mission Impossible I once volunteered to be strapped to the outside of the Crunchie Plan - but to sky dive - no way. You should have spoken to James about this as he could have told you what it was like. Tom did a tandem sky dive with and we have the video - it looks jolly scary. Even so I expect you will enjoy it (when you have landed)! I shall take issue with the official mother - Jade Goody is not to be likened to the daughter!! |
| 22nd April 2007 mother number 2 | safari - From: Trials and Tribulations All this excitment is wearing me out!! It's all very well to say "it's only a flying spider" and that was only the beginning of the trip. How was Michelle, did she also get bitten. Hope your legs are recovering. It sounded all very scary but exciting nevertheless. Other than the bites hope you are keeping well. Love me |
| 22nd April 2007 Latecomer | Unerwater - From: I found Nemo!! "I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden with you!" Remember that? Well you dives sound jolly wonderful and no doubt you enjoyed it seeing such spectacular fish. |
| 18th April 2007 Mum no 1 | Qualified - From: Mission Impossible Hi there do you think you and Michelle are now qualified to take part in Big Brother? with all those creepy crawlies. Just think you could be Jade Goody no 2!!!!!!!!!! |
| 16th April 2007 The Sage | Going to the dogs - From: Mission Impossible Its good to see you are having to use a tried and tested means of transport--the good old gryhound coach. I guess this way of travel will enable you to see more of the country even though you are just passing through, but I guess you can get on and off if you see something you would like to explore on route ? |
| 16th April 2007 White Whale | Feet on the ground - From: Mission Impossible No way would you get me up there, you must be very brave to consider jumping out of a plane of your own free will, I'm sure it must be an amazing experience floating down to earth. Look forward to hearing how you get on |
| 16th April 2007 White Whale | insects - From: Trials and Tribulations Didn.t like the sound of all these crawling, biting things urgh just goes to show that you have to watch out who you keep company with |
| 16th April 2007 White Whale | my relatives - From: I found Nemo!! So you met some of my relatives down under I guess I have not seen some of them for years, but most of us do travel around a bit. Nemo is a very colourful relative ( ha ha ) but very nice to meet. I'm sure you will meet more on your travels |
| 16th April 2007 The Sage | Flying - From: Mission Impossible Well you are braver than me--no way would I want to jump out into open space, several thousand feet above terra firma--what if it rains--you would also get wet (least of your problems) never mind hope all goes well when you do jump--it had better, otherwise no more blog !!!! |
| 15th April 2007 The great wise one | Mission impossible - From: Mission Impossible Bad luck, or in my opinion good luck, how can any sane person jump out of a plane for fun---well I guess knowing you then its self expnanatory. Have a good journey, no travel sickness allowed |
| 15th April 2007 The great wise one | Spiders and Mozzies - From: Trials and Tribulations Well you certainly are seeing the wild life--a little bit like "Get me out of here " when they have to eat something horrid to get their food/trreats. It all sounds very exciting, look forward to seeing the pics |
| 15th April 2007 The Sage | Fish , Fish and more Fish - From: I found Nemo!! Very interesting, thankgoodness you are not in a F & C shop (Fish and Chip) because not many spuds underwater joke--ok --not very good, Its great you were able to see so many different fish. |
| 14th April 2007 bobby | nemo - From: I found Nemo!! ha i managed to get a picture on my dives, so there, but you are in a oz and i'm not. Gutted you spotted a reef shark I didn't get to see one, boo, stop having fun, its making me depressed in brierley hill. Love ya x x x x |
| 14th April 2007 The great wise one | Nemo - From: I found Nemo!! You lucky thing, it must have been so "right on " when you spotted Nemo. The whole adventure takes on a new meaning when you see something special, although they are all special in their own way. Look forward to seeing the pics. when you post them on your blog |

Will let you have their email address tomorrow. That will then give my ID away darn it!!! I was enjoying not being known. |
| 11th April 2007 The great wise one | choc bar and ants - From: Gooners Good to see you are enjoying the local cusine, but why not have chocolate coated ants, saves a lot of time and fuss. Nice to know your skin at last becoming used to the sun |
| 10th April 2007 Dad | photographs - From: Oz a la Canci's After your phone call have been BACK tracking --no not back packing on your Blogs to see the photo's understand you have only so far got to Chang (The Elephants)-the pictures are great especially the "Phants" looking forward to seeing the rest when you are to down load. Best of luck getting the new camera, let us know which one you went for. Also get a picture when you "Sky dive" . I think you should mention in your next Blog that you have now downloaded a lot of pics. so that ours will know, and be able to see them. Good luck, love Dad |
| 6th April 2007 The Sage | Yea Yea Yea - From: Oz a la Canci's Sounds like the Beatles, don't know why I'm sending this today, Good Friday a day of rest and prayer.

| 5th April 2007 Mother Number 2 | Australia - From: Oz a la Canci's Well it seems you have been well and truly looked after - wined and dined and been made very comfortable. This cannot go on you are being spoilt! As for bouncing aroung after eating kangaroo you will note that this is something I do all the while after eating the same such meat several years ago. It is called kangaroo because very many many years ago when some Scottish prisioners were taken to Australia they saw some large animals from the prison boat but could not get out of the hold and began shouting "I kangeroo, I kangeroo" (said with a scottish accent!!) (Joke supplied by Arthur). Sending you Easter wishes. The weather here is really lovely at the moment. Much love. J |
| 5th April 2007 White Whale | Football or whatever - From: Oz a la Canci's Gosh what's happened to the investigation of wine and beer (G& T does not count) what no research in the other half of Perth. Still a little bit of drying out will not do you both any harm. Good luck |
| 5th April 2007 The great wise one | Footie - From: Oz a la Canci's I guess more activity than a game at Anfield ( who by the way scored 3-0 away from home in the European cup this week, look a cert to go through to the next round ) had to let you know the result after all you are in the colonies ha ha. Note that with your new frienda, no mention of spaggetti--what's going on , or not might be the case--they sound nice people , put me down for a holiday home |
| 2nd April 2007 The Sage | shrimps, beer, wine and good company - From: Oz a la Grubbs Good to see that you are to knock our colonial cousins/friends into shape, everyone knows you can cook shrimps on a Barbie, they might not like it much, but thats life keep on packing |
| 1st April 2007 White Whale | Join the party - From: Oz a la Grubbs Well I've been reading your script for some time, and have come to the conclusion that you are either employed by one of the large international brewing organisations to spy on the competition, or you are or could become an alcoholic. Either way keep on partying but to assist others who may think the above, can you please start to give marks out of ten (thats if you can remember the next day---joke) for these brews/wines that many of us have never heard of ? |
