Happy New Year
Hi to the Coopers. The Smythes are reunited in Australia. Danielle has been here for a year going to school, has another semester left so we are here visiting for 5 weeks. Have spent one week in Sydney and are now up in Cairns for 8 nights. We are doing the Whitsundays and then GoldCoast and finishing off with Melbourne and Adelaide. Will be heading back to Canada on Jan.23. I will watch for when you are headed here, maybe we will cross paths or we can give you help on how to keep the trip to two weeks! It is a huge country. You are all having an amazing time, wonderful to read your blog. Cheers, Leigh
