Australia...

Come on Tony, I know you'll first on this one...

Pondering on a jolly there, but know sod all about the place, well apart from we shipped all the criminals there, and Kylie, Danni and Natalie come from the place.

What to do, where to go, wouldn't mind trying to get to Philip Island for the GP if possible...

Where to stay enroute, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia etc etc

Could you be any more vague?

You can do pretty much whatever you want there ... diving, skydiving, bungee jumping ... surfing schools ... GP, WSB ..

Unless you've experienced real heat and humidity before I'd tend not to go in summer, try spring ... it's a bit cooler .. especially if you're going north somewhere ..

offshore fishing as well, that's pretty cool ... Barrier Reef ... mate, help me narrow it down .. what do you want to do/see ... any particular places you want to visit? touristy or not quite ..

Bluddy Hell!!! - you moan about the North / South divide and having to travel too far for circuits and now you're off to the Southern Hemisphere!!!

So no complaints about Brands trackdays from now on eh!!! ;

When I go home and we can sort it out I want to ride around Australia on a GS or something ... just have a good look around, take 6 months or something to do it ...

I've seen more of Europe and England than I have of my home country and it's mad because it's such a beautiful place.

The more the merrier big fella - it would be sensational. You'll have to learn to scuba dive, if you can't already, because I'll be doing lots of it all around the place. It won't be a poverty camp everywhere trip, hotels and camping, restaurants and fishing ... the wide range of experiences ...

Phil you lucky *******, I wish I had taken the time to do something like that.

Now I'm homesick ... I haven't been home since we moved over here, over 3 years ago now ...
