Our hot tub on the back of the boat!! AMAZING

Fraser Island

Bangbang making herslef look 10 years younger!

Champagne Pools





This was meant to look like we were pushing the Maheno ship wreck but we failed slightly!

The big night out the caused severe hangovers on a 4wd road trip! Possibly the worst place for a hangover!! :( but we learnt the traditional ozzie "bush nut" dance!!

A few little pics from our Fraser Island adventure where "every tree is a lavatree!!" Where our lovely Irish friends (Ronan the ghost being whiter than me - shocking I know and Carl) got us super drunk and hungover for the 4WD trip the next day, they also got punished for being late and had to sing to us all on the bus! Unfortunately we're still waiting to see the dingos and sharks.

Brisbane

OMG - I caught a fish (all by myself!!!!!) YIPPPEEEEE

Our boat trip with the Foster's along the gold coast. Fortunately for us we have no photographic evidence of the night out that we had before this!!

Begining of OZ - Melbourne

The Great Ocean Road day trip - just before the flooding hit Melbourne

As close as we could get to the Kangaroos because there were snakes and we wern't allowed off the bus!

The 12 Appostles (although there's only 8)

Neighbours Tour

The end of NZ - Our Cave Stream Adventure

We got lost and couldn't find the enterance to the cave so decided to walk through a waterfall (above our wastes!!) Genius!!

We had to climb along this path next to a shear verticle drop (everyone else was wearing hard hats and proper climbing stuff!!!)

Quick update with no photos im afraid

Hi All,

Unfortunately we are unable to add pics at the mo (due to being on an Island!!) but figured as we havn't spoken to anyone for a few days or added any pictures for over a week we should just let you know we are both fine.

We landed in Melbourne and did a tour of the Great Ocean Road and then had some serious rain and flooding (the back end of cyclone Yasi), so after doing the neighbours tour we got out of there pretty quick.

Then had an amazing time with Itsy and family in Brisbane - big night out and then a day trip fishing near the gold coast before heading to Fraser Island where we are now.

We're flying up to Airlie on Wed and hoping to do a sailing tour of the whitsundays before heading back down to Sydney.

Hope everyones well at home and will load the pics asap.

Kaikoura swimming with dolphins

The most amazing trip ever. Slightly scary as the cyclone that had hit the  coromandel over night was meant to be heading down the east coast towards Kaikoura during at some stage and there was a severe seasickness warning and risk of not being able to swim. However we got out before the worst  of it and managed to swim with 200 wild dusky dolphins. AMAZING!!!!!

Ok....so it was slightly grey due to the storm and I didn't capture a dolphin properly doing a somersult but I will blame that on the fact that we were too busy in the water swimming!

Killer Whales! Possibly the best bit - because they are not local and are spotted once a month and never follow the boat so closely - especially with the little calfs. There were loads of them but the dont pop up for long!!

Now back at the Wigley's before we head over to Aus so have time to load up some more pictures. Not quite in the right order but these are the best so had to put them up first.
