All coming to an end

Well the parentals have been and gone, all in all the time passed rather too quickly but we had a good time and I think they have gained a flavour of Australia. We visited the Blue mountains where it snowed! drove through pouring rain and flooding in Canberra and sat in the sun on the final few days! The weather was very fickle!

We are in our final days of packing up the house and organising our holidays to be taken on the way back to Blighty.

What we definately wont miss about Australia is the ineptitude of some of the companies out here as an example we were calling all the utilities to ensure that they cut off the services on a fixed date, however when we phoned Bigpond to cancel our broadband connection instead of the chap on the other end of the line asking us when from, he just left the line and cut our connection there and then! and apparently there is no possible way on the earth that the connection can be re-connected! The best they have been able to offer us is a dial-up connection so I am afraid that there will be no photos for the next few weeks.
