hi everyone! hope you all are ok! thanks for all the messages :) if it makes you feel better nik we have had torrential rain here for the past two days!

we have almost come to the end of our oz experience! this month has flown by, probably because we have been constantly on the go! highlights of the last few weeks include our surfing lesson (i almost kinda sort of stood up for a second!), staying at the cattle station (we came second in the rodeo!), fraser island and the whitsundays (beautiful - even the rain couldnt spoil the whitsundays), steve irwins zoo (sat through ben 10 and bindi irwin performances - an hour of my life i will never get back! bindi is quite the star around here, loads of merchandise with her on it and shes starring in a movie!) and byron bay (so chilled out!). it rained when we were in townsville so we spent most the day reading magazines in a cozy cafe eating cake and drinking hot choc! rained in cairns yesterday but thankfully its lovely today!

new zealands our next stop - so excited to get there! we have been told it all looks like the lord of the rings films :) we are only doing the north island so a future trip to the south island nz and west coast oz is def on the cards! we have been looking into our usa trip and are both really excited, we have around 6 weeks so should be able to see quite a few places.

andy murray plays in the oz open today - hopefully he gets it to five sets!!
