Just to make sure everyone that needs to know does know (sorry to those of you who couldn’t give a hoot), here are our dates…. We arrive into the UK on 26^th of September about which we all feel kind of sad (that this is over) and very glad (to be seeing family and friends).  We will spend three weeks sorting out and selling our faithful burstner van which has been home for so many months, and over-working our livers catching up with everyone.  We are then leaving on a big jetplane to head to Australia on the 21^st October.

In Australia we will collect my parent’s motorhome (hooray – more campground toilets!).  We are in the process of sorting out a workaway in Northern Queensland (hopefully in the Atherton Tablelands) after which we will meander down the coast, checking out some of the national parks and the Great Barrier Reef on the way. After dropping the van off just north of Brisbane, we will spend a couple of days at the Gold Coast theme parks (Will’s request) before flying to NZ on 2^nd December, just in time to get our dancing shoes on to celebrate my Mother’s 70^th birthday and her and Dad’s 50^th wedding anniversary.  At some stage I guess we’ll also have to join the real world again and look for jobs…..

Looking forward to seeing everyone in the UK in a couple of weeks (and let’s not talk about the leaving bit just yet….)

PS – italian job…scene three will be up tomorrow…hopefully.
