Hubs not back til this week, I hope to be rid of it before then so he doesn't get sick, and we can enjoy each other's company for the 6 days we get a month Off to convince my 4 year old daughter that it's a fun day for watching Happy Feet and sitting on the couch!

can't help it, I LOVE Russell Crowe - I know he's a screaming a-hole in RL and hasn't been sexy since Gladiator but he's a great actor, that smile kills me

and Mel in Mad Max 2 rivals Paul Newman, ASkars and the Fassdong for the most beautiful man of all time

poor Kylie - she was so innocent until Michael Hutchence got his dirty hands on her ha ha

Come in summer (Dec-Feb) or around those months, it gets pretty hot so you can enjoy all the gorgeous beaches! Just don't go out bush and get lost Lol. Seriously, people get lost out there.

Melbourne is fantastic, Perth is much quieter (beautiful WA country). QLD has the Gold Coast and heaps of things to see and do.

Lots of wildlife, a few sharks, lots of people in thongs and lots of friendly faces!

The Great Barrier Reef and Ayers Rocks are fantastic too. If you come in summer, say hello to a few flies and mozzies. Australia is a great country with some harsh conditions at times. They build us tonka over here (tonka tough lol)

If you ever get bored, You Tube John Farnham's 'You're the Voice'. Or Jimmy Barnes 'Working Class Man'. Iconic songs and legends.

And of course, AC/DC Legends.

I forgot about her! But probably because she's not around so much here anymore. Drifted off the radar. Like, after Grease. Lol

Haha give us a heads up so we can have snags and shrimp on the barbie ready for your arrival.

Bring your thongs (just to clarify...and only on this one- they are footwear here) and we can pop a bottle of cab sav or pretentious plonk and then you can sit on your freckles next to the billabong and we'll have a grouse time! Follow it with pav- you beauty!

...did u follow that?

What have you heard of that's over here? Sharks, spiders, snakes etc?

I'm lucky we don't have bears, or wolves. That would freak me out! We have a lot of smaller, deadlier things too.
