So the past couple of weeks have definately dispelled the myth that it is always hot in Australia.... its been flippin freezing, apparently it was the coldest day in Sydney for 50 years on Thursday this week and I can definately confirm that it was COLD COLD COLD, however the sun still shone and it was a gorgeous day, I wish Autumn days were like this in England!! I don't have many warm clothes with me so I have been recycling my clothes every couple of days! definately not one of my best dressed trips!! Its quite strange seeing all the leaves falling off the trees in May, it feels like it should be October or November!

Over the past couple of weeks I have spent time taking in the sights of Sydney ( for the fourth time and I still love it), Melbourne ( for the second time though I remembered nothing from the first time I was there 19 years ago) and Canberra (for the first time and really enjoyed it .... though not the temperature...it reached minus 1 overnight!!). During the past couple of weeks I have also spent time with new friends I made from both my West Coast Trip and my Top End Trip which has been great, so thank you Gina, Jesse, Jenni and Cheryl and also its been fantastic to see and spend time with friends I have known for years, Paul and Michele.

On Tuesday I set off for Africa again and will arrive back in Uganda on Thursday (its going to be a long Journey) but I can't wait to see everyone from CALM Africa and Jolly Mercy again.

Take care all and I'll be back on the blog when I get to Africa!
