Australia & New Zealand

The 25th August 2006 was the starting date for our crazy adventure back to Oz with a holiday to NZ thrown in for good measure.

17 days which involved:

* 51 hours of flight time (or 70 hours if you include check in time, stopovers and customs)
* 6 trips to Brisbane airport within 15 days (we were on first name basis with customs)
* 10 duty free opportunities
* 1 wedding
* 5 days straight of snowboarding
* 2 bungy jumps
* 36 holes of mini golf
* 12 tube rides
* 10 luge rides
* 2 BBQ's
* 5 kilos prawns (yummy)
* 6,000,000 litres of alcohol consumption (no exaggeration)

Needless to say we had a great time. A couple of days were spent with Lou's family in BrisneyLand, then up to Mackay to see the Penridge's. Back to Brissie for the nuptials of Scott and Kerri Fraser and to catch up with friends at the reception (it was so nice to see everyone). Then it was onto to NZ for a week of snow fun in Queenstown. We arrived back from NZ just in time for some more food, wine, port, champagne before heading back to the airport for our flight to London.
