Aussie wedding

Got back to Oz with no problem. Plans for the wedding were a bit more serious than jeans and t-shirts after Jacko saw a dress he thought would be ideal for Donna. (We had to buy stuff in Bangkok as nothing we had was appropriate, life's so hard!).

The ceremony and reception took place in a hotel about 500m from Donna and Jacko's house.  It was all very nicely done in 30-degree heat.  Family and friends had travelled over flood-damaged roads but all the really important ones made it through.

It was a fabulous day, light hearted, friendly - we met some lovely people from all over Oz but mainly outback.  Donna and Jacko were just so happy - he got really emotional when she came out all dolled up, it was quite sweet! 

Can they drink!  Never seen anything like the amount of ale that goes.  Puts Brits definitely in the back seat even Chris!  There was a little pool there as well which kept the kids amused, I was on lifeguard duty which suited me cos it was cool out there and kept away from the tequila slammers etc that was going on.

Good day had by all, a happy, social occasion.

More floods now down in Brisbane, so we're hoping the airport will be open for our flight back to Bangkok on Sunday.  Can't believe the weather they've been having here, I guess you've seen it on the news.  Fortunately it has mostly missed Mackay, but because of flooded farms and roads there are some food shortages and prices are sky-high.
