We also have Twinnings as well. My suggestion , halve it and don't forget SPF 15, stubbies, navy blue singlet and thongs ( flip flops) sartorial elegance supreme. Give the boys in blue ( lifeguards) at Bondi a break and don't go in the surf. We are expecting a big swell at the weekend.

They do have them in hotels in Oz. Unless he's going to wear it to travel in, he will need a warm coat, as it's still winter down there. When we go in that direction, we always "reverse" the months. Taking June as mid-winter, if it's August here, the weather is equivalent to our February, give or take a degree or two, the further south of the equator we go. <br />We always split everything between our two cases - and pack it in two large plastic bags - half each of "his and hers". Saves the embarrassment of having nothing to wear if one case gets lost, and clothes seem a lot less creased too.<br />Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-41961304938729095392015-08-19T06:22:02.967+00:002015-08-19T06:22:02.967+00:00Ok, let's cut to the chase...
