Hello from Melbourne! We arrived yesterday afternoon and are enjoying our time with the one and only Mary Pier, who has so graciously taken us in for the weekend! We are very happy to be here : )

Prior to our arrival, we were sailing in the Whitsunday Islands. We set out on Tuesday and have been on the catamaran until early yesterday morning.

While sailing in the Whitsundays, we were able to meet a lot of cool people, including an amazing crew on the boat! As you can see in our photos, we decided to dabble in diving... Well, to be honest, Deena did chicken out after performing her skills test - but she did make it underwater, breathing! Very cool. The other half, however, did go through with it! Dean completed 2 successful intro dives! Go Dean! He saw 2 sharks, a sting ray, held a sea cucumber, and even did a funky dance which was caught on his intructor's video camera (i'll send out the youtube link when I get it!) haha.

Basically the sailing trip was so fabulouso and we are very glad that's how we spent 3 days, on the Great Barrier Reef! Snorkeling was impressive there!

Now to the present: Today Mary is taking us out on the Great Ocean Road in search of wild koalas and kangaroos - it'll be like a safari! Wooohooo!

We hope you enjoy the photos; miss you all! God bless : )

G`day, mate!
