Our time in Fiji was great ( minus a little touch of sea sickness on Lizz's part!) Fiji isa magical place, the people are amasing and the ocean is spectacular. Above is a view of the reef from a small plane we were travelling onfrom Nadi to Savusavu.

Farewell to Brisbane for our international trek.

We celebrated our sixth month wedding anniversary with a group out exceptional and outstanding friends who helped make the day extraordinary. After waking up in Melbourne before 4am ( Justin was a little excited ,I think, as he was up and out of bed before 3am!) catching a flight to Bris Vegas where Craig picked us up from the airport. We were treated to a fantastic cooked breakfast then hurried to the shops for party supplies. Our guest were eager to arrive as before we had finished unpacking the shopping the first one arrived 35 minutes early followed closely by the next two, when the party was due to start over half the guest had arrived! We felt very loved by everyone and blessed to have such a great group of people in our lives.

Melbourne







What an amsing artistic and vibrant city. We had so much fun and ran into some fantastic culture. The first one was an underground tour of an experimental art exhibit run on 250kgs or potatoes revolving around a central theme of life cycles. Closely followed by a Police show band show caseing some fastastic Jazz meleodies. Not to mention the buskers with quality music on most corners. But what topped melbourne for us , besides our fantastic Host's Pete and Jess, was the 5 course dinner and tour around melbourne aboard a colonial tram.
