Hey there
Hi Catherine, still reading and enjoying your amazing travelblog! It sounds like you are having the time of your life. Im glad you decided to explore the outback a bit and saw Uluru, it would definately be on my list of things to see. That lovely lantern lit art display sounds beautiful, too, I was in Cornwall a few weeks ago and saw a similar thing in St Ives (not as exotic as where you are, though!!) Im not going to be around on Friday but I hope you have a nice time waving to everyone on webcam! Take care and keep having fun Jan xxx
