A friend of mine took an underwater camera with them and she is going to email me a copy of them, so as soon as I get them I will email them to mum and she can put them up on here as I have not got a clue how to do it!!!!!!

Hey Guys, Hows it going in sunny old England!!! Its half past 8 in the morning here and it is 30 degrees!!! how anybody works in this weather I dont know!! I'm off to Kuranda Rainforest tomorrow to see the Koala Bears, going to try and smuggle one out in my handbag!!!!! It should be a good day we get to go up there on a sky rail which goes over the top of the rainforest and then back to Cairns on a train which apparently is something you have to do!!! Wil let you know how it all turns out ;D ;D

Apparently Reece's friends she met on the boat whilst on the Great Barrier Reef took an underwater camera and are going to send her the photos when they get back home, so we will post some of them when we get them. She is going back to my cousins in Brisbane on Wednesday for Christmas. They are all going inland, "somewhere close to a beach", for Christmas - not quite sure how that works out - but it is a big family do. I spoke to her on the phone this morning and she is not so homesick now - just cannot cope with the humidity in Cairns. She finds it hard to sleep at night and hard to do anything physical during the day. Apparently everyone sits around the swimming pools all day! What a hard life!

Hey it is a hard life!!!!
Kuranda was amazing had my picture taken holding a Koala Bear, they are sooo cute and you could stroke and feed the Kangaroos and Wallabies they also had Crocodiles there but I refrained from stroking and feeding them!!!!!!
Will let you all know where exactly we are going for Christmas as I cant remember but apparently we are going to the beach Xmas eve and boxing day so should be fun!!!!! Doesnt feel like its nearly Christmas, I should be wading through mud with four jumpers on not walking about in a bikini!!!!!!

Glad to hear you're out of the heat-there's nothing more uncomfortable!
I bet it does fel odd though to be somewhere warm for xmas when all we're used to is mud and rain!

Yeah tell me about it!!!! Its only two days to go and I'm not even excited yet, mind you that might have something to do with the fact I'm going to have no presents to open!!!!!!!!! We are off to the beach tomorrow where we will be spending Christmas, so here we go for a hot Christmas on the beach, weird or what!!!! ??

Explain please!
Was that because there were so many of you?
[My garage does not look like that - it is full of SWPA rosettes!]
