From Port Edward in the south, to a few days in Durban, recovery in the Drakensberg to a microlight flight over KZN.

Not a bad place to be hey?

There’s a very good friend of mine called Tom who has lots of time on his hands to create such legendary classics as this….enjoy and thank you Mr Bartlett.

Bre goes on a mission….

On Sunday Bre and the filmcrew from Beyond TV headed south from Brisbane to the Gold Coast where they’ll spend the week visiting Movie World, Sea World and generally having as much fun as they possibly can. They’ll be filming her every movement as she trains with some of the world’s best stunt men and women, driving cars, diving with sharks, cracking whips and mingling with the stars from down there who’ve done it for years.

When she’s down there she’ll be staying with one of our great friend’s, Alex Stratigos, whose family live there and have very kindly offered to put her up for a few days. Alex is down in Sydney still and sometime soon will actually get her ass up this way to visit…hint, hint!

While she’s away I’m heading off to the Fantasea Reefworld pontoon to spend a couple of days there and a night enjoying the Reefsleep, find out more here. Wish she could have been here to do it with me though as it’ll be strange being under the stars, floating on the Great Barrier Reef without her there to enjoy it with me….

Hurry back my girl, there’s a huge adventure going on and I want you here with me to enjoy it! Have fun down there and be safe.

Father’s Day in the UK

So when asked about the things I’d miss about the UK it appears I have to play my cards close to my chest for fear of reprisal by the tabloid newspapers both here and in Australia!

I’ll be totally honest and say that I’m going to miss my family though, especially my two nephews and my niece and they’ll be so much bigger when I get home! We all went out for a farewell lunch on Father’s Day at my favourite local haunt, The Trooper Inn.
