Hi everyone, Good to hear from you and glad your settling in ok. What is it like where you are? What do you spend your days up to now youve done most of the important bits? Hows the weather!!

Well we got through the TRA and the main app was sent yesterday so we should be able to get there for Jan 08 no probs!! We are going to Sunshine Coast now, 1 hour from Brisbane. I think Perth would be too quiet for us.

Anyway I will look out for your next post, Carley
