Conkers Hi Karen - thanks for your message! I am heading east and my trip is supposed to go right through Queensland - hopefully by the time I get there it will be dried up but not necessarily cleared up. Yes the conkers are for the spiders!
stay west! Hi Emma.. glad to hear you arrived safely. Australia is all over the news right now as you know so am hoping you will stay west where its dry and warm.. would hate to play " spot Emma's travelling companion on a rooftop surrounded by water". Assume the conkers are for spiders... let me know if they work! Take care and look forward to more blog soon... Karen
Perth Hello - Glad to hear you have enjoyed Perth. Hope you took lots of photos and have you seen many animuuuuules yet?? These are the important things, not swimming and lunch!!
A few questions -
1) Have you developed an accent yet?
2) Why haven't you sampled the vino yet.
3) Have you seen a boomerang yet?
Miss you lots and wish I was there.

Keep your head above water... The technology works! Hope your back recovers soon - you weren't attached to a long piece of elastic when you hurt it were you? Take care in Rockhampton, there are warnings of snakes and crocodiles as well as the floods. Just time to see England beat Australia in the test match before you leave. Have a safe flight .... Look forward to hearing from you on the other side of the world
Surprised/Good Luck Em, Fab to hear from you. So your finally off, I can remember when I first met you (many moons ago) when you were still with BTC in Cambridge talking about going off to Australia so you have finally got round to it. I will keep tags of your journey especially New Zealand as we are planning to go there in November.
I look forward to tracking your travels as I don't know what you have planned, so surprises along the way.
Take care, I am really envious.
Love Joan. x
G'day mate Hi Emma - Celebrex is a wonderful drug for back pain. It requires a prescription, but it works!! I look forward to hearing about your trip. I miss you at work!!

Nearly there . . . How exciting and I'm not at all jealous of your imminent departure considering it's the first day back at work today! I think the luggage thing is funny! Have to take out all the primping equipment - nah - take out clothes instead!!!
Hope your back stands up to to fold up nature of the travel!! Happy flighting as Moses says :) (obscure reference alert!)
Have fun! Can't believe you have hurt your back! Perfect timing! Still it will enforce the light packing you require.... Hope the trip out isn't too tedious, a glass or three of vino may help. The floods look terrifying - so distructive, I can't imagine how long it will take to get back to normal, some of the people being interviewed were totally distraught, it must be devastating to lose your home. Looking forward to catching up on your ventures - lets hope the natives will still speak to you after we thrashed them at cricket - yippee!!!
it works..... Yay, loving the technology, but was hoping I could post your first pic - of Percy and your friends in the pub. Hope back and packing all work out - they do have launderettes down-under :O) Look forward to hearing/seeing your adventure.
