Real 4 by 4 country
Its nice to read about real 4 wheel drive country, here in North Norfolk UK we are inundated with 4by4's on narrow country lanes (nick named Chelsea tractors) driven by mostly yummy mummies, mobile phones clutched to their ears, rushing to take their little angels to nursery. Our little Nissan Micra of great age is usually the one that ends up in the mud because they don't like getting their hubcaps dirty!

This F100 gets around Australia, I'm SURE it's the Same one ????????????
I'm sure this F100 was towing a caravan around the NT several years ago, and stayed at the Ti-Tree roadhouse. And I think I saw this same F100 yesterday, driving over the Kempsey Bridge NSW. As there aren't many bright Yellow Longbody F100 I've seen, Im certain that this is the same vehicle. And She's 100% Awesome. Nice looking Rig.

Bummer
I have a few choice words for the Immigration folks, but will, not so silently, utter them while reading your post. Sorry to say that EMI has blocked me from viewing your youtube photo's. Don't know why, but someting about copyright. Doesn't matter, I can just go back to your pictures, or even my own blog to see where you have been and our own journey around OZ. Take Care, keep dry.

A bit rough
Hi Caroline and Andy, It still seems a bit rough that you have to wait til November, given the acknowledgement that they "stuffed up". On the other hand, it gives you plenty of time to prepare the bill you can put through parliament when you become an MP ;-) Is it really two years since those great balloon festival photos appeared? Loved them!

Rain, Rain, go away
From all news accounts things look pretty bad in your area. Last year, I think, it was QLD that had the flooding. Now it appears to be headed South. I guess that will put a big slowdown in your weekend camping trips for a bit. Too bad. Really enjoyed the last blog. As usual, well written and a great tale. Always look forward to your posts How is the immigration status?

Your Blogs
Hi Andy and Caroline, Great to meet you both at Matthew and Renita's wedding on Sunday, and thanks for providing an interesting and entertaining chat. I've been getting an overview of your blogs - so much info, well written and great photos. The tourist trade would benefit - another career for you both? A book perhaps aimed at the UK market? Contributions to Lonely Planet? I'm sure you've thought of all these... Anyway, keep well and Denise and I hope to catch up with you, perhaps a barbecue at our place when Lee and Marilyn visit again? Cheers and best wishes, Barry McGloin

Sorry about the delays
Like Jo said, Hang in. I tried to apply for citizenship about 10 years ago (I've lived here since 1970) but it was such a convoluted process that I gave up. I have lived in several countries over the years and getting police clearances from all of them was too difficult. Happy to still be a Kiwi even though I haven't lived there for 50 years.

Fight the Good Fight!
This is not the first time the Department in charge of Immigration has made a bewildering visa or citizenship decision; they unfortunately have a track record in this area. Their perfunctory dealing with such applications can be dismal. As Jo said, hang in there - and best of luck with the appeal!

Hang in there!
Hi Caroline & Andy, Really disappointed for you that it didn't come together. Whoever said you two are most deserving of citizenship is spot on. Take a copy of your blog along to the appeal interview - no one could question your case after looking at how much heart and soul you've put into your travels and life in Australia.

Happy New Year
Glad you had such a good time over Christmas. It looks as though Sylvia and I might be starting our round-Australia trip earlier than planned. I have been made redundant from 1st March. Got my picture in the Sunday Telegraph this week along with an article about my employer replacing its employees with "off-shore" resources. At least it will give me some free time to bring my blog up-to-date. Need to get the camper-trailer sorted out. It has been sitting in the backyard for 6 months. Probably full of ants!

Happy New Year to you also
It is good to read your blogs again. That Christmas pudding looks good. Loved the photos of your friend being stuck. Yes, a car wash is in need.

Long time No See
Dear Linda and Gary, I just stumbled across this and I must say I am most delighted to see you guys so happy together. It's been 25 years since I left Smith and Canada for a career in Hong Kong! Met up with Stan Au and Lawrence Howorth a few times since but have not been in touch for a while. Are you still in Edmonton? I do visit my parents from time to time. May be we can hook up next time I visit, probably in April or May 2012. Best Wishes from Hong Kong, Louis.

Hi Guys, Another great couple of nights making some more great memories. Loved catching up again with you in Canberra. It went all too quickly. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we can do it again. Looking forward to the big "Pozzie" bash. :) On the countdown now. Good luck for Saturday Andy and the 29th Caroline. It couldn't happen to two nicer people. We are almost as nervous as you two but, in a good way! :) Love you guys. Jan & Ted xxx
