31st July – 3rd September – Days 111 to 145

What a month I've had, the family arrived on the 28th of July and were here until the 28th August. In-between we have done everything that Sydney, the Gold Coast and the surrounding areas have to offer - awesome time's...!

We have; Whale watched, been to the Opera House to see the Pirates of Penzance, the Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise, the Zoo, Aussie No Rules Footie twice (Sydney Swans won both times), The Boys have Stroked Kangaroo's and Emus, Surfed Twice, Deep Sea Fished, Quad Biked, Theme Parked, Hunted Snakes, Red Back and Huntsman Spiders, taken Ferry's around the Harbour, Climbed the Bridge Observation Tower, Botanical Gardens, Hand Fed Wild Possums, National Maritime Museum, Visited Sydney Aquatic Centre, Eaten in the Revolving Tower of Centre Point, etc...etc pure dead brilliant.

The boys wanted to stay, but had to go home. They offered to cook and clean for me in my Sydney CBD flat!

Anyway the only low light was Lewis getting five stiches in his head - still didn't stop us having fun though. There was a Ferrari show on in Darling Harbour and he was so excited that he fell of the bed trying to get Ross up and head butted a glass table...deep joy.
