Merry Christmas! from the other side of the continent .... Hi guys,
Overrun by all things Christmas this year. Hit the ground running upon our return from our incredible trip to Europe (more blogs will follow in due course) and, literally haven't stopped until today. We are having (had)a wet Christmas Eve and Day - ah! bliss! Not many people would think that the ideal but, after our 3-day heat-wave of 40-plus degree temps with hot winds blowing on the days leading up, we were totally over it and the 21 deg it has been yesterday and today has been sublime. The rain doesn't make any difference to our mood. Enjoying the cool while it lasts! Spending the couple of days over Christmas with Nat, Justin and the kids then, hopping on the train and going up to Glenn and Bon's for a few days. Hope you have had a lovely Christmas and are heading for a gret New Year. Always in our thoughts wherever you are. Love from all of us here. Jan, Ted (SkiSet) & Co. xxx

Christmas Hi Andy & Carolyn, love reading about your exploits!! Mind those snakes they are poisonous. Over here in lovely Laggan we are expecting a lovely 25 degrees for tomorrow, just pleasant, not too hot and not too cold. We have Chris' two children here plus a couple from Canberra for lunch, should be fun. Safe travels. Jan & Chris

Pea Beu the room Lee's advice is to spray the van/room prior to retiring. This may help the poor critters entering your head! Seriously, we hope all going well. Merry Christmas, hope you enjoy. Stay safe. Look forward to our next catch up. Love Lee & Dee xoxo
OMG Andy OMG, that can only happen to you!!! I didn't think you had very big ears but maybe that should be your nickname from here on in. Hopefully the horrible smell wasn't your brain decaying!!??
Get better soon, have a great Christmas and enjoy what sounds like a very hot summer over there!
Love from us to you
Eggs for breakfast?? Hi Andy, Having just read about your latest (mis)adventure, I was thinking, "wow! that is one large egg that critter has laid and, in Andy's ear too .... far out! - that's impossible!!" As I puzzled this phenomenon for a moment and also, being the quick thinker that I am, finally worked out that it was the lid of the jar I was seeing, as photographed through the bottom of the jar, and not an egg yolk, plus critter, lying on the lab specimen dish. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words." However, to avoid any further unwanted guests taking up residence, I think I would take down that "Vacancy" sign you have on your ear - seems it's working only too well. :) Love you guys. Jan xxx
Wanted Dead or alive Next time try sitting in the dark and shining a torch near your ear and sometimes they crawl out to the light. I'm surprised it didn't go straight through and out the other side!!!
What sand? Confused. Andy, you don't like sand - yet you enjoyed the Simpson Desert?! Ummm. Caroline, you are very brave to dip in the ocean with such a fear of sharks. They don't attack very often, given the numbers of surfers around the continent. Great blog. Sounds an excellent 4WD club for you with such a warm welcome and fun trip to Point Peron. Enjoy many trips with your new club. We look forward to learning of new places in future blogs. Love Keith & Jan
Your confused?? Mmm! I get the feeling your are not reading the blogs properly as you say your confused as I hate sand, but loved the Simpson desert.
What I wrote, was I hate sand on my wet skin and as you must appreciate, we drove the Simpson desert, two very different thing.
Caroline does not have a fear of sharks, what she does have is a sense of self preservation and, we just said you need to be shark aware.
Hope you are both well and we will catch up on Skype before crimbo.
Love to you both.
Andy
Toughen up Princess!!! Dearest Andy, if you want to be REAL Aussie, sand is part of the deal, especially in WA where even the outback is sand, that's why it is called the sandgropers state. If Caroline is still talking to you after the dig about food poisoning, I hope she gave you a good dig in the ribs. Being an Aussie bloke means you can have a bit of a go at your sheila but usually not so publicly!! Be aware. Very pleased it is the Toyota Landcruiser Club, your next task is to get them ALL driving Landcruisers and wearing blue shirts!! Have a great Christmas and New Year. I will be over in February again, will check where you are at that time. Love to you both Jan & Chris
Back in the November of 2008, we embarked on an adventure that would take us out of everything that we were so familiar with, a comfortable life in the UK, friends, family and the English countryside. Some call it brave, others thought that we would be back, but above all, most people helped us embrace the challenge that lay ahead of us.
Weary of corporate life, we emigrated to Australia, with the notion of buying a 4 wheel drive and camper trailer and a 12 month trip to explore our adopted country, Not an easy thing to do as we had to start from scratch, simple things like knife, fork, s... full info
