Hiya
Hi hun Bet you have been in your element for the last few weeks doing odd jobs and bathing in the sun in between! Perhaps that's your vocation when you return. Plenty of pools around Chandlers Ford to sort out! I cannot remember many beaches actually in Cairns - in fact the beaches are that rubbish they have built a man made beach in-land with a swimming pool. Perhaps better in Cape Tribulation (north of Cairn, about a days travel) which is quiet but also things to do (massive beach, mangroves, tree surfing). I stayed in a hostel with some really cool wooden huts. From Cairns there is a day trip called Brian's Tours, although you might be sick of tourist stuff, it's a great 'feel good' tour and the tour guide has a great take on life. If you are going snorkling, I would also recommend going to 'Reef Teach' (at least I think that is what it is called) with this irish-like Billy Connely guy, complete nutter, who explains what all the fishies and reefs are (it is actually really useful to go to before you hit the reef, that way you know what to look for, though you may already know this from Honduras). It is only 1-2 hours in the evening and you get tea & biscuits!!! Enjoy the last month of your travel and make the most of the sun before you come back to England! Though I am sure that you are looking forward to seeing your friends & family. Have fun! Dee

Hiya
Glad to see you still having a great time and having a variety of experiences to break up the tourist route. I remember swimming in Florence falls. Shame you didn't see more of Kakadu National Park. I liked the outskirts of Perth. Would advise going to Freemantle and going over to Rottnest Island to see the Quoka's. You can cycle around the island on hired bikes - the scenery is great but there are some hills to cycle over. Not much to do in Perth. Albany south of Perth is also supposed to be nice and I went North of Perth all the way up to Broome (only need 2-3 weeks). You can fly from Broome to Perth and then Perth to wherever. I ran the Great South Run today - 10 miles in 1.47 hours which I was really pleased with but have bad back ache now:( Take care hun Dee

Wow
these are amazing pictures, thank you for share these beautiful sites of our beautiful Country

cheers for the birthday wishes, hope you had a great one too, did send you a little email dont know if you got or not. oz looks cool, how long are ya there and whatr are ya plans for when ya get back.

Causing a stir in NZ
Hiya I see that you have had quite an impact on NZ and literally made the earth move lol! Glad that you did the Waitimo caves and tubing trip. This is one of my best memories of NZ after the sky dive. You look about as flattering as I did in that outfit (will dig out a photo and send to give you a laugh!). Have a safe flight to Fiji and hope you make some good mates to spend your b'day with. Have fun Dee:)

new zealand looks great, glad emma looked after ya ok, yeah she does tend to hit a bit!!! but she can take em too.

snow riding!!!!! love it.

Off to Kiwi Land
I recommend blackwater rafting to see the glow worms but prepare yourself for freezing cold waters and extra wrinkly hands! You get a bowl of hot soup afterwards and it will taste like the best soup you ever had! Looking forward to seeing some photo's of NZ where I may even recognise the location! Great to speak the other night. Seeing Gibbo and Esme tomorrow night:) Have Fun!
