... friendly. It seemed that bending the metal bar into the multi angled shape needed was going to be a problem. However where there’s a will there’s a way, and later in the day, with teamwork and ingenuity it was done.

Before that though Doreen drove us to the Botanic Gardens at the bottom of Mount Coot-tha. We sat in the Japanese Garden and made our last farewell calls.

... views of the city, it feels a little bit like Glebe in Sydney. Ollie took us out to a really nice cafe and stuffed our faces with a fantastic meal and wine. It was good to be sleeping indoors again after a few weeks on the road. A nice comfy bed was just what we needed.

After a nice lay-in and once we'd finished washing our clothes we headed into town on the SeaCat which took about 20 minutes to get into town from Balmoral. A great way to get into the ...

Well all is in fine shape all the airfares have been booked etc tickets have been received so now its the final week before we launch again on another fantastic holiday. Nancy's cousin and her husband are coming over from New Zealand to cat sit for us as the last house sitter was not the best result. Just the packing to do and that's being sorted as i speak.

So i got into town this afternoon, my friend kristy from vietnam picked me up, we went for some beers and pizza then she went to her photography course. Internet is 4 dollars a hour, i'm a long way from the affordable prices of the developing world. So now i am left with many questions all of which can only be answered with time. Do i stay or do i push on? what sort of job do i look for... one that i love or one that pays well. Do i start to settle or prepare to push on. Where too ...

... we'd have to speak to our landlord on Thursday to give him enough notice if we are moving out !!! We went into the Qantas office on Monday and found out for a (smallish) fee we can change our flights home quite easily. We always planned on doing that anyway, the only reason we booked the flights home for the date in July was because that was a year after we booked them.

There is a beautiful memorial bit where all the staff and people that knew him signed a khaki shirt (the only thing he would wear!) there must have been 100 shirts, and pinned up poems and paintings and drawings of him and his kids. It was definately moving. I think the highlight of the day was the croc show in the famous 'Crocoseum!' We were lucky enough to have ...
