    Cheers mate! My wife and I are in the very early planning stages for a three to four week cruise in New Zealand and Australia in a couple of years.

    We're doing Hawaii this year and Alaska next year.

    Yep, it's been a cracker of a day. Perfect weather and some catch up time with the family and a couple of mates. Snags and lamb chops on the barbie for tea, and a couple of cold amber fluids

    Cheers to you too!
