I’ve been a bit lazy since I got to Sydney and have been sleeping in most mornings, so had to force myself to get up at 7am this morning to catch the train for 2 hours to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. Named due to the large amount of eucalyptus trees emiting oil into the [...]
Had to do it, they have a real submarine (British made) moored in Darling Harbour so I had to go and get my war fix and have a look inside it! Also got to look around a destroyer too – double war fix! Both are WW2 era and having seen inside I’m glad I wasn’t [...]
I was walking up the road from my hostel the today and I noticed this (Shiz you’ll love this!):
I was tempted to nip in and do a bit of work, but decided against it! For some reason BT Global Services have a tower here but occupy only the twelve floor of it! But the BT [...]
Just another day on the road! I don’t feel like its Christmas! I had a nice lie-in this morning and then took the ferry to Manly beach, which was nice. I’m not a big fan of sitting on a beach, but managed to do it for a few hours – getting sunburnt [...]
The last couple of days I’ve been travelling down the great ocean road to Melbourne. For most of the journey the road hugs the coastline, which offers spectacular views of the many beaches, caves, and bays. The main attraction was the 12 Apostles, although there’s only eleven now – one fell down last year! Unfortunately [...]
Had a great couple of days travelling from Adelaide to Melbourne, I’m 2 days into the 4 day (1300km) trip. We left Adelaide early yesterday morning and headed out through some small towns before hitting the coast road. On route to our overnight stop in a small seaside town called Robe we visited Sand Dunes, [...]
Thanks for all your messages of concern over my safety! I’m pleased to say I made it out of the outback without anything more than a mosquito bite! Had a really good time! I did the Mulgas Tour, which is ran by Annie’s Place hostel – I’d throughly recommend both!
We started early [...]
Arrived in Alice Springs today – wow its hot nearly 40 degrees! Feels like I’m in an oven! Was very bouncy coming in due to the heat (thermals), and then when we landed a dust storm kicked in! I could see it from the plane a big brown cloud that seemed to be endless! Anyway [...]
Been to Fremantle (known as ‘Freo’ by the locals), a very nice seaside port town. Quite sleepy and laid back way of life – it reminded me of a Cornish seaside town. Big port though, lots of massive ships coming in. During the 2nd World War it was a port to many [...]
“G’day mate” said the customs officer at Perth Airport. “Can I see your passport please…………ah you’ve been in South East Asia I see…………please get your bag and go through the red exit”. Here we go I thought going to get a full search now – and yep I was right! The scary [...]
