Deciding that it was high time our boys got to see my country, we have decided to spend a year travelling around Australia and are currently somewhere in this beautiful land, in our caravan.... full info

Happy Easter
Sorry to be a party pooper but don't get excited about early retirement yet. Paul's turn to work from next year. We have holidays for life now. Stunning pictures & beautiful cursive writing Oliver- hope the kangaroos bring you boys a whole pouch of eggs. Regards from CT.

Easter bilby
Hi guys Thanks for the update - am once again filled with Tasmania longing. Hope the bilby manages to find you wherever you are this weekend and fill the caravan with chocolate. We are off south to visit Lone and the boys in Bremer Bay. When are you planning to get to Uluru?

Greetings Oliver, William, Quinton, Alexa and Paul. Thank you for the insights of life on Tasmania. O. w. & Q you all look so rested and learned about the Tasmanian Devil and the Seahorse programme. Alexa where are the photos of the shy platypus? look forward to hearing your thoughts on the seahorses William. Oliver you look very relaxed on the chairlift. Quinton I liked your hat that you were wearing. Alexa thanks for the description of Tasmania. I felt that I was there on Tasmania. Paul are you going to open a busuness in Tasmania fro the boys so that you can write another book?

quinn's hat
Quinn is not wearing a shower cap exactly, but it is cap he was given the day before when we visited an old flour mill - we went on a tour of the mill and had to wear them for health and safety. Naturally Quinn fell in love with it! Can't wait to see you in Sydney!
