Happy new year

Hi

We've been busy stuffing our faces for the last few days. We have been sightseeing in Brisbane and have covered all the wild animals with a visit to the lone pine koala sanctuary. Didn't do the reptile house. I wonder why? Covered nearly 4000 k since arriving only just under 1000 k to go until we reach Cairns. We're back on the road now and will arrive at Airlie beach today and crash there for a week before heading to the Whitsunday desert island. Last night was boiling hot we nearly melted in the tent we had to sleep with the front of the tent open just to get a bit of cool air. Pj wise better not mention that! We will try to get in touch with everyone on New Year's Eve, face time if we have wifi, telephone if not. We will be half way through New Year's Day before you celebrate the new year. Heard about the snow. You can build snowmen and we will built sandmen instead.
