Greetings to everyone who is reading this Travel Tale. You will most probably be able to work out what the title is all about and to where we went.
Joan and I had the most amazing time and are busy putting together some of the photos - do not wish to bore you with all of them.
We have just over 900 photos to sort through so hopefully we will be able to pick out the better ones to show you.
This time around we will not be doing a day by day diary but will split the tale into sections of where we went and attach the relative photos.
Wishing you all a fantastic day and we will chat again soon.

You are right RP. We heard a lot of Afrikaans being spoken on Sunshine Coast but I believe Perth is packed with South Africans.
B.C., if I had the wherewithal I would move there tomorrow. Stunning weather, stunning people, stunning beaches, amazing wild like and nature trails. The fishing is also very good.
Aus in extremely expensive - pensioners haircut - here R55.00 there R170.00. A house cleaner earns R270.00 per hour and rocks up to work in a Pajero.

It's all relative to what you earn. The gap between the "rich" and "poor" - salary difference - is small. A friend of mine just purchased a 4 bedroom house and works as a packer in a bottle store
Yip, the fishing rocks

Thanks Flutterby - I will be putting a LOT more up on this thread.

This is exactly why my son moved to Oz. Has a 5 year old daughter so fortunately for him his company asked to go over there and set up the business there. They are now in the process of applying for citizenship.
