Still alive!

A combination of far too much to do and slow internet connections explains the long gap in posts...

We are now in Townsville Queensland and are off to the Whitsundays Islands tomorrow.

The drive from Adelaide along the Great Ocean Road needed more time than we allowed but was a very good experience. Then we had a few days in Melbourne where it was lovely to catch up with Steve and Barbara. We escaped Melbourne just before snow fell there and flew to tropical Queensland where, as you can imagine, we are really enjoying the warmth.

Another update will follow soon!

...where the rainforest meets the ocean, a wonderful area
