All change from the city

Sorry it's been a while since us posting, internet access in tropical Queensland is very sparse and wireless access is nil, so all those photos we have on the laptop are just sitting there, along with our next couple of blog entries in Word. Hopefully we'll get photos and trip activities up by next week. Along with details from Tash about our special news, which most of you all know already.

A moment should also be spared for the mighty Steve Irwin. Whether you just love his over the top Aussie-ness or are in the Germaine Greer camp of him being a glorified circus croc-tamer, he really did do a fair bit of conservation work. His family declined the offer of a state funeral and had a private burial at Australia zoo. We'll be visiting the zoo late next week so will report back soon after. Have a look on our links list for more about him.
