This made me giggle no end. Why CM, you have become so cynical, so quickly.

If so how do your priciples let you bere to live there.
We spend millions keping terrorists safe and on benefit.
If In 6 months I miss all this crap then I will eat my words an become a polish Lesbian Muslim.
I can't tell you what I think of this post, but it isn't what I thought of the first. I will say one thing though, I doubt your sons at their ages will thank you for taking them to Noosa.

Why can't we just be happy with a house in the suburbs, 2 cars, a dog and 2.4 children.

It all depends how Sh!tty your life is in your country of birth! For me it's a no brainer - it's Oz all the way! Life can all about trials and tribulations but for me if the environment is better it is more tolerable!

After Egypt we pretty much travelling by train to Oz... Trans Mongolian from Moscow to Bejing... Coastal train via Hong Kong into Vietnam... cross into Thailand to do more diving, possible a Full Moon Party and if I can convince him... a detox retreat ... then train it from Bangkok to S'pore via Penang & Kuala Lumper... and then a flight from S'pore to Darwin. Validate visa. Drive down through the centre from Darwin to Adelaide (luckily my OH is an Outback Jack) and then back up the West coast... hopefully catch a bit of wine tasting in Swan Valley and experience the Kimberleys in real life! Then from there we head over to Canada (Whistler) to work a snow season and then when the snow goes camping and fishing until our visa runs out... and then (deep breath) back to Oz!

I just didn't want to get on a plane one day and 24 hrs later be in Oz... thought this would be an interesting way to get there!

So when are you off?

TP x
What a fantastic trip! Sounds like you'll have a ball. Good luck to you
