Meet the Fokkers!!







The last few weeks have been spend with the Fokkers travelling from Sydney up to Forster in a HUGE campervan for 5 people. We spent a few days in Sydney including Bondi Beach (aka Scarborough with sun) and Manly. Nice enough beaches they were and we all enjoyed our attempts at body surfing in the waves.

After Sydney we headed to the Blue Mountains but couldn't stay long due to the Bush Fires nearby so quickly moved on to Swansea (no Wales). From there we travelled to Newcastle (wy-ei man) then Nelson Bay where we went snorkelling among the fishes and many jellyfish. They still freak me out now even though they were about 10cm in diameter max. Anyway, managed to see an octopus and dad managed to see loads of really big fish and colourful ones and fat ones and stripy ones..........
The coolest thing we noticed in Nelson Bay are the Kangaroos that hang out on the Golf Course. There are hundreds of them and they don't ever move for no-one!

We are now back in Sydney and head off to Melbourne tomorrow on our quest to meet the Neighbours!

Nikki made a friend!















Never got round to writing this blog entry but the above photos are of myself at the Pinnacles with a kangaroo shaped rock (Or so we thought), Nikki with a wombat (Yes it is real) and us both after sand boarding in Lancelin.

Ultimate Blog Entry





Over a week in Perth now and its starting to feel like home. We've met up with Stephanie and Joe and watched a few of their Ultimate Frisbee Games. Man is this ultimate! Never have I seen a sport so intense and crazy. These guys are real hardcore athletes......hhmmm....anyway enough about frisbee, we're thinking about the World Bat and Ball Championships coming up next year - That will be intense! (Sorry steph!).

So far Stephs team (Iceni) are 3-0, while Joes team (Fire of London) are 1-1 and need to win their next game. Will keep you posted!

Was planning to go surfing today in Scarborough, but the woman at the desk scared Nikki out of it as there were 2 great white sharks spotted off the coast the previous week and the "Shark Alarm" brought everyone out of the water. Will probably go later in the week on my own instead and Nikki will be on Shark Watch! If not she will get some great photos off me getting eaten.
