Good to see you blogging again. Miss you lots now you are working. I thought you had climbed a mountain, you were gloating about it the other day! :o) I distinctly remember being at Melbourne airport with you and being snubbed by the lady at the bag store because we were dressed for work! Blog more!!

Hi, Tamsyn, thought I drop in to say hi, and surprised to see such a long list! ha.. how fun, I think you did most of it. Among these, my biggest hope is actually no.3.. reminded me I really need to practise my guitar.. no where close 'good' but, it's a dream..

And, maybe hold a Koala..

^^ Take care! What a list for Aussies when they go 'hmm.. what to do later?'

Hi Jen, I miss you too! I did try to climb a Mt Warning, but failed miserably and I decided that Melbourne airport doesn't really count, seeing as we didn't actually step outside at any point :) I did also go there when I went to Mt Buller, but we got straight into the mini bus and left....

Hi Ching Ya, nice to hear from you again!! I can definitely recommend holding a koala, they are so cute :)
