Maybe in Oz

28 November 2019 Dear Suzannah and Phil and Shirley, Maybe, Duck and Goose, I really appreciate you letting me stay in your beautiful new home.  I feel truly honoured to have been your second visitor :).  I feel blessed to have you guys as friends!  I really hope I can call you neighbours soon.  You guys really know how to make someone feel right at home  I loved the hikes and the beautiful park runs, coffee shops, and brewery dinners.  I can't wait to come back for the holidays.  It will be such a blast! love Emily Fight on our kangaroo walk Stalking roos :) Roo Selfie Roo Sunset Hastings Pier 5k run done!

April 30, 2019 Well, we got to be the first visitors in your new house!  The house is awesome and shows your careful planning and was well worth the time and trouble that went into it.  We enjoyed the trip to WA - very different and very Australian.  I certainly see where the wild Australian hairdos come from - it is the wind - so you might as well give up and go with it!  The flies in WA you can keep! We will always remember the farm stay and will not sign up for another one!  Rottnest was fun and very different.  It is amazing that we have been to so many places Australians have not been - they need to get out and see their country more. The best to both of you and enjoy your new home.  We will be back again!  Come and see us - Love, Mom and Dad

Suzannah & Phil -  Merry Christmas 2017!  Thank you so much for hosting an amazing Christmas dinner and letting me join your xmas crew!  I loved meeting your fur babies and getting to see your new and old hoods.  I'll always remember our Christmas Eve picnic at Phillip Island - one minute it was sunny and warm and the next sky water was falling and the sun was long gone - plus the cheese! I wish you both all the best in 2018!  Hopefully we run into each other on our travels - otherwise, NZ 2020! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Love,  Amanda Suzannah & Phil -  What an awesome intro to Australia.  Thank you so much for hosting us at your fantastic bed and breakfast.  I will definitely give you 5 stars on bookings.com :) This will for sure be a Christmas to remember.  The roos, koalas, cockies, and penguins were amazing.  Also westie and kitty love :) The fun isn't over since we still have Tassie.  M...

We had a very Aussie Christmas this year - with six Americans staying with us for the holidays we wanted to show them what makes Melbourne so special to us.  Some of them had just completed the Milford Trek in New Zealand, some came via a stop in Hawaii, and another hailed from Singapore.  One was my brother, three I grew up knowing, and some of them had just met.  It was a very random mix of people up for an adventure in Oz. On Christmas Eve Day we took them all to Phillip Island, starting off with the bazaar Koo Wee Rup Swamp Observation Tower and trying hot jam donuts.  Next up was watching the pelican feeding in San Remo and enjoying some fish and chips for lunch.  We drove over the bridge to Phillip Island and the first stop there was Forrest Caves.  It's kind of a strange name, but basically it's a beautiful red rock formation on the beach.  It's one of the lesser known spots on the island so there isn't usually anyone there and the scenery ma...
