.....Well it was ok. No, it was awesome...we had a great day of sunshine for it aswell which was a nice brucey bonus.

Anyway, enjoy these snaps and the next blog will be great...its got my trip to Ramsey street on! Met some of the neighbours cast etc... Until the next time, hang loose. Peace and love Thommo By the way, Cape Town rocks.... read more

Hello to you, Two blogs in two days, what's goin on! Think i've pulled my finger out..! These photos are from october last year when we had just left Alice SPrings and stayed for a few nights in a tiny little place called Coober Pedy...it is as weird as it sounds. Its the Opal capital of Australia, loads of the area surrounding this place have been mined for Opal and other stuff. 80% of the town's population live underground in homes that were carved out of the ground by huge drilling machines, some live into homes carved into the cliff faces and hills. All a bit surreal really. Bit like a ghost town when in the evening everyone is underground like moles! Our hostel was great, 6m under the ground which was a novel experience...room was ... read more

....to let you all know i am still alive and in South Africa! Just thought i would write a blog to let you all kno what i had been up to seeing as im so far behind with these blogs. Bit slack of me. Anyway, i will put text to the blogs with just pictures but its quicker to do just photos at the mo. We left Oz on the 21st Jan and have been in S. Africa ever since...and love it. Great place, relaxed, happy and chilled. We also went to Swaziland for six days and stayed in the best pace we have come across, the views were awesome. Done the Kruger park which was a bit disapointing, saw a leopard cub which was lucky but no lion, i really want to see a lion! ... read more

Carry on up the coast…. That sounds like a movie doesn’t it?! Well, what we saw on Fraser and while cruising the Whitsunday Islands could have come straight out of a movie, it didn’t take much imagining. After we left Rainbow Beach we headed up to Hervey Bay and got ready for our Fraser trip. Now, most people opt for the four wheel drive self drive option when doing Fraser Island but me and Fran decided on a tour (Sylvia out travel agent sold it to us!) which in the end was fantastic. We loved it, had some great people in our group and shared some fantastic scenery and moments together. Fraser is the worlds largest island made entirely of sand which is quite random…I mean how on earth does an island made of sand come ... read more
