Hey Mum, Dad & Sarah. I'm on a flight to Brisbane right now. How was Cornwall ? Can't wait to see Eddy again. The hosts gave me and Owen a T-Shirt each with SASI on it (South Australian Sports Institute). This was the people we played and lost. I got the host email so I can still contact them. Also, can you text me Marks number please ? Or ask if there is an extra room for Rupert to stay. I got myself a nice jumper from Kangaroo Island because I was wearing mine all the time. Just before we left, we went to the Blackfriars whole school assembly and said goodbye. But then Mr Whitwham decided that we had to sing the BMS school song. We were awful ! Speak 2 you soon. Andy.

Al8 MUM, Al8 Dad How R U Guys, I'm just on the plane to Brisbane (where its meant to be 24c) which is quite good. I haven't been in the sea once yet but I am hoping I will be soon. Again the hosts were nice and I gave them some chocolate as a thank you as neither of their boys played water polo. Also, my camera battery ran out so I have bought a disposable one. We went to Kangaroo Island which was ok but a bit cold and we had to sleep on the floor of the womans house. Well hope you are both good and I hope the living room has been coming on. Anyway, love u guys and I'll speak to you soon. Bye. MWAH. XXXXXXXXX

Alex Garraway :-
After leaving Adelaide for Brisbane I will be mostly looking forward to the change in the weather and to actually unpack some of my shorts. Hopefully we will give Eddy a good thrashing and bring back our winning ways. Kangaroo Island was wicked and very enjoyable. Most of us did get some sleep but we also got a face full of shaving cream in the morning. Having a wicked time so far. Alex.

Writing home : Trip has been good, but a bit chilly. Good shops but I am low on money. On my way to Brisbane at the mo. Should be hot there hopefully ! Dom.

Robert Thurmott (Phd) :-
Hya you lot. I bet you got wicked tans from Spain. It was pretty cold in Melbourne but not too bad in Adelaide. I get my results tomorrow, OH MY GOD !!! Tell Lucy that she can put my TV in her room if she wants. Dont forget to buy a car by the time I get back. I've bought this really funny thing for it. I still have quite a bit of money left so I don't think you will have to top me up like you thought. Dom's the one who spent all the money. He got a cricket bat. Rob. xxx

Hello family. Having a great time in Aus. Both of my hosts have been really good, and both of their houses have been huge ! I have seen lots of Kangaroos and Seals and we also have seen a game of Aussie rules footy. I will send you some pictures soon. Philip.

Steve Monico :-
I am staying with Blair & Ruth Hay at the moment so email and communications are very easy. We are now 9 hours in front - if anyone has not spoken with their son since we have been away I suggest you try calling just before a polo game.
