Tuesday April 4th Lo all from OZ We got a fairly early start today. With us staying at the resort overnight we got a free breakfast at one of the restaurants. It was a buffet breakfast, and was pretty good. There was quite the character in there, an old English lady, who was talking to everyone in the restaurant. Especially about her toast, and whether it was hers or yours! We booked an ATV ride, as you only had to be 6 or older to do it, it was booked for 10 am, but we switched it to 9am as we had already eaten. So there we are, getting ready to go on the ATV’s. I’m not sure how Wes is going to do, as he’s never done this before. Kirk, Wes and Paulina get the ... read more

Sunday April 2nd Sea world! Today we’re off to Sea World Australia; this theme park is located just north of Surfers Paradise. We’re a little apprehensive about visiting this park on a Sunday, because it may be really busy. Jason booked a Seal encounter yesterday, so at 3:45 today we’re meeting some seals…cool! Infact at this park you can do lots of stuff with the animals…such as 1) be an animal trainer for a day 2) scuba dive with the sharks 3) snorkel with the sharks 4) dive with the seal lions 5) spend 45 minutes with the seals (this is what we did) 6) meet the polar bears - don’t know how that’d go, but it’d be cool There are a few others, but I don’t remember. So we got up, and did the breakfast ... read more

Friday March 31st Lo all from OZ Well, not a lot to report today, as we spent much of it driving. Our day started off in Port Macquarie where we got up, checked out of our site, and went to a restaurant called the pancake place for breakfast. I’m not sure what our waitress’s problem was but she was a mega B! The food was so-so, definitely not up to the same standards which we’ve been used to having here lately. But the service…man it sucked. After that we got in the RV and went down to the koala hospital. This is a place that’s privately funded whose sole purpose is to rescue and rehab, and ultimately set free koalas. The threats to these cute little guys are mostly caused by humans. Sometimes they’re hit by ... read more

Wednesday the 29th Paradise found? Well, we left Umina Beach this morning, leaving our very well appointed campsite to head north. Before we left though we had to get the whole fam together and do a bounce session on their huge inflated trampoline. Tell ya spending 15 minutes on that is almost like being on the Stairmaster back home. After getting quite the workout we were off, our next destination Seal Rocks, about 150 km north of here. This area is known for pristine beaches and an abundance of Grey Reef Nurse Sharks. The sharks that look nasty, but are harmless (or so they say.) Our drive up was uneventful; we stopped at hungry jacks (burger king back home) to get Wes some chicken nuggets. You know that even burger king and McDonalds here have beets ... read more
