Hello to all!
Were now in sunny Brisbane! Had another really good few days! Yesterday went to Australia Zoo, basically its owned by Steve Irwin and we were really surprised because he was actually there!! Spent the morning watching him feed crocodiles and wrestle them etc etc, (all the usuall stuff he does.) Had an absolutly 'ripping' time, as he would say. 
Just been chilling out really appart from that, nice to relax a bit after a hectic week in surfers. The hostel we are staying in is pretty funkey and has its own pool, bar area and restaurant so were not having to bust a gut to find entertainment.
Bumped into the Bolton girls again as well (we think they are just following us now ) Definatley going our seperate ways tomorrow though as our next stop is Rainbow beach. Just time for a goodbye drink tonight. Brisbane has got a section of the town called 'the valley' which is supposed to be rammed with clubs…we'll let you know 
Right then guys think thats all, we changed our flights today so check out 'About the trip II' for new plans.
Love ya all, take it easy
Mike and Ben

Forgot to mention that in Brisbane there’s an ice-cream parlour at the top of a hill (can’t remember the name of it though
) … you get a great view of the city, and you get to chill with ice-creams!
Can’t believe you saw Stevie Irwin!!! We’re so gutted!!!
…and what is going on with these girls from Bolton?

I think you are forgetting something when you say Lord of the Rings is all New Zealand is famous for.
A far greater film also used the fantastic landscapes of New Zealand…….The Sound of Music
