So I have had multiple requests to put my pictures on a public website for non-facebook users to view. Finally my roommate Lizzie from LeMoyne (who is currently studying in Barcelona) tipped me off to this site! I am about a month into my journey and couldn't be happier. I have seen some pretty amazing things thus far, and really can't wait to see more. My first few days here were pretty tough. The jet lag was worse than I thought it was going to be. I departed LA at 11:50 pm on Friday February 13th (yikes!) and arrived at the Brisbane airport in Australia on Sunday February 15th around 7am. The flight wasn't too bad- however I only got a few hours of sleep in. The rest of the time was spent doing People Magazine ... read more

So, the week kicked off with Della seeing her first "roo"! The day i decided to stay at the house! Something to with the Law of Sod me thinks! We had just had a torrential downpour and the sun was shining again when Della and Sue went out to the local shops - en route they saw not just one kangaroo at the roadside but a whole "herd" of them......how cool is that??!! Next time i'll be going to the shops! The weather is warmer with each day - Winter is almost over and Spring is just around the corner........well, that's what the weather man keeps telling us - seems like summer to us Northern Hemisphere gals!!! We have taken "Sally" (the miniature poodle we are looking after), to the beach every day and whilst on ... read more

We have had a roller coaster week - not least cos we all went to Wet 'n' Wild for Fab's birthday. It is a great water park and we all went on most things - Fab was disappointed she couldnt go on the vertical surf board but I have to admit to being quite relieved myself! There was a small debate prior to launching ourselves down the black hole as Bendy and Fatty disappeared down the chute together and we discovered that there was a weight restriction but apparently that only made the ride quicker! Fab had a low point in the week as well as she had to have a filling in her tooth - at least she will be taking a piece of Australia back with her. At the beginning of the week we ... read more

Hi - we had a Foam Party at the beach. The Mums got scared that we might go under the foam cos it went over our heads. Dad and I went in. I was the only Edge child to go in. The foam was quite deep and we jumped from foam free island into the foam. My cousin slipped over and all the foam rushed around him. It was great fun. I dont know why the others didnt come in. At the Zoo we fed the kangaroos and patted the koalas and we saw a massive snake called Millie who was about the size of a car. We watched a croc show at the Crocoseum where a man stood in a river with Crocs. We got free Kanagaroo food and we fed the kangaroos again. When ... read more
