Trying to find out how you get a aussie citizenship so Paul can get a passport,,,grrr l really want to go to NZ....We enjoyed going to Qld for a long weekend so we thought it be a good idea doing that every now & then to get away & we never holiday as such...

Think the boys are trying to organize a week away at Brisbane fishing & snorkelling at end of Feb so that be good if they can do that...

Its so cheap to fly to NZ,cheaper then Qld if you get it at the right time.....

SANTA HAS COME EARLY.......

Paul must have been 1 real good boy.as he got a new toy....Yes he got his new motorbike today..Even though he only got a new 1 not long back (boys & their toys).Dillon has taken over the loan on the other bike so he is pretty wrapt having a near new yz250 & it gets him back into riding & hopefully away from things that can get them in trouble..
