Bye bye Australia

G'day to you all, on this stormy, monsoonal, humid day!

Well its hard to believe it but we already find ourselves on our last day in Australia after enjoying a fantastic and lucky month here, with our 4WD campervan Polo. We have spent our time dodging cyclones, mosquitoes and managing to get across the Victoria river in the 5 days that it was possible to (water is now 2m above the bridge!!) - phew its been hectic time! Oh and we managed to cover a few kms and seen some fantastic sights - endless red sands, bright blue skies, fantastic sea creatures and loads of kangaroos. It has been a brilliant trip with a bit of all sorts. Snorkelling, walking, off road driving, bush camping, rock scrambing - it goes on . . .

It has been great being able to pull off the road wherever we please and have fallen asleep to the sound of the wild creatures or even flood waters approaching a couple of times! Great for me but I'm not so sure about Mark!! He has done well though coping with the thought of snakes, Sharks and crocs (and the last few days we have certainly seen a few snakes in the wet!)

He has loved the 4wd driving though. And the climbing/scrambling through caves and pools. It has certainly been an adventure! I think a similar trip will certainly be on the cards sometime in the future.

Oh and of course we had a fab tour of Perth courtesy of two Aussies I worked with in New Zealand. Thanks Bridget and Teresa! And also had a fab time in Sydney climbing the sydney harbour bridge in the rain. All seems so long ago now!!

Anyways next we fly to Indonesia later today. There is just no rest for the wicked ;o) So take care and we will catch up soon
