hi everyone,
we have been off line for a month and can not remember for the lives of us our password so we have set up another. sorry.
we arrive in Brisbane on Monday morning via Sydney from bangkok. we stayed in bangkok and Phuket for 9 days. it was amazing, well Phuket was, bangkok was fine, hot and very smelly.
our bags did not arrive with us in Brisbane, Derek's arrived yesterday and thankfully mine arrived this morning.
our first impressions of Brisbane, amazing, really clean , people really friendly and helpful, it is just lovely and still not seen 95 % of it!! cannot wait to start exploring. (thanks john and Netta
)
having a busy week sorting everything out, but will still do our best to keep up to date with the site.
speak to you soon

Enjoy as much as and get your arses all over the place before you get jobs, get up yo the sunshine coast as well its great up there.

Check out the Inner Northern Busway works around King George Square, they are especially spectacular at night.

Where ARE you??? I've just noticed you've been trying to PM me and my inbox is full. I've just cleared a few down - so please try again. Really looking forward to meeting up with you again. Me and John are not working at the moment so we can meet up with you if you're in or around Brisbane. We are in the middle of a huge amount of renovations and building work, but apart from that we're taking things easy.
Please try and get in touch again - I just can't believe you're finally here!!!
Hopefully speak soon
