Wow! Just caught up on the last couple of weeks of your blog. Fantastic photos. I am so envious of all the great experiences - except the dangling backwards over the canyon! Jan xx
hello Your photos are still making us giggle! NZ looks as amazing as everyone always says it is, beautiful surroundings and lots of adventures!! We were round the house at the weekend, still standing and everything ticking over ok x x x
Scary!!! OMG. It's all looking horribly scary. Have you both gone insane? Simon, stop throwing yourself off terrifying ledges, (I'm sure Arsenal's season will pick up soon) and Deborah - white water rafting???? Get a good book and sit on a nice beach for a couple of days.
Looks fab! Hi guys,
sounds like you are having a ball... bet chilly old pomland seems a million miles away! very witty comments simon - had us giggling, particularly the aussie litter sign and mid life crisis dilemma. personally i would always go for the harley but that's just me... life is hectic here, we sold tulula the TT today so no flashy car for us anymore, will have to make do with a go in yours!
Camper van glamour Your camper van looks nicer than our house (though parking next to hoardes of kids is obviously a disadvantage we don't have). Does Simon drive it like the Audi? It would be quite exciting if he does and you would have seen the whole of Oz in about a week. Beach running sounds fantastic, laps of Richmond Park just won't cut it anymore. Enjoy NZ, look forward to hearing about your further adventures.
Hi Hi Deborah and Simon
Looks like you are having a fantastic time. Pictures are great - like the one about the litter!
Did you see much of the floods in Aus?
Will watch your next instalments with interest.
Deborah - would you mind if I share this with Aude and Sarah as they were asking about you?
Not much happening here, although weather has turned cold again, so you are best off where you are!
Bye for now
Sharon
It looks fantastic Well, I have to say the trip looks fantastic. You certainly seem to be seeing a variety of places. You also seem to have avoided flooding and other catastrophies. I liked the campervan hints and tips. On to NZ and further adventures...
from yer sis Hey - more pictures of the van please! Inside and out. Or is that asking too much tolerance from the non van-obsessed among your blog followers? Looks fab. Van, music festival, cooking outdoors and cycling about - next thing you know you'll be living in Chagford....... L9ots of love and keep posting, Pee x
QUEENSLAND FLOOD UPDATES Thanks to all for your concern about us regarding the floods. We have spent most of our time to date in New South Wales and will only venture into Queensland to fly out from Brisbane. Clearly the floods have been a disaster for large areas of Queensland, Brisbane included, and we have watched the Australian people battle with the aftermath in a stoic way. Compared to the terrible loss of life and homes, any inconvenience to our holiday plans will be insignificant. Now major roads, rail lines and airports seem to be fully operational, so we should be able to fly to NZ on 28th Feb as planned. ALl our best, Simon and Deborah.
Hi
Can't believe you have been away a month already. Loving the barbie Simon looks a real pro. Been watching the floods in Queensland hope you are both ok.
Take care

Bonza! You are a very funny man, Mr Burrell. And Deborah, the secret of your last name is out, but Rex says, 'She's a Burrell now she's married.', so maybe you simply don't get the choice!
Happy wanderings, you fab duo

The Blog Terry and Frances
Great to know you are enjoying it. Deborah says she followed your blog religiously. We feel we are following in your footsteps as we have just come from Port Macquarie and are now in Sawtel just south of Coffs Harbour. Loving it all.
Simon and Deborah
We are reading your blog Just a note to let you know we are reading your blog. We found that we never knew whether anyone bothered to read ours. I think you've got the hang of this blog thing - excellent pictures and funny (and informative!) comments
Keep up the good work
Terry and Frances
Deborah and I are planning to go on a world trip from December 2010 to March 2011. We are visiting Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, and Los Angeles. We want to keep our family and friends in touch with our adventures, although blogs will be brief!
