11th December last year I started working at Fred Olsen. Exactly one year on and I decide to jump out of a plane....AGAIN! I had been advised Mission Beach is a fantastic location to skydive, whereby you actually land on the beach. I was certainly ... Read more >

A brief stop in the Town of 1770 was made to join in the exciting scooter trip around this quirky small town. Now I have to admit I have never been in control of a vehicle with only 2 wheels before and I was slightly nervous about it as I don't think ... Read more >

I got up 7am the next day to see what my options were and a lovely lady called Wendy at reception called around different companies to see what was available and to see if there were any cancellations. I decided to do a day trip with a company called ... Read more >

Last weekend I was on Fraser Island and had such a fab time. I decided to do a guided tour so no issues over who was going to drive etc. There was a total of 20 people plus the driver on my trip. Day one - weather didn't look that good. It was ... Read more >

Love this place, probably the most coolest little town I have stayed in to date. I spent a few days here, could have spent a lot longer but it was time to move on. The beaches were amazing, so clear. A group of us hired bikes from the hostel and cycled ... Read more >

Day 1 - surfing did not go well. I couldn't get to grips with all the info we had been told and I kept nose diving into the sea even before having the opportunity to kneel on the board let alone stand! I thought that at least I gave it a go and this ... Read more >

Sydney is amazing. Staying in a hostel called Wake Up which was a great location for the coach dropping me off the other morning from Melbourne, just a little trek to see the sights, it's a good job I like walking! I decided to forget that I was living ... Read more >

I decided that I would save a few pennies and sleep whilst travelling on the night bus from Melbourne to Sydney. In theory I thought that 1) I would sleep and 2) I wouldn't have to pay for accommodation. Well I didn't pay for accommodation but I so ... Read more >

Lou didn't fancy the Neighbours Tour, but it was a must for me, having watched it on and off for the past twenty something years!! I joined the tour with fellow Neighbours fans and we visited the studios, had my picture taken outside Lassiters, Charlies, ... Read more >

It's been a while since I wrote. I have spent the past week in Melbourne. We were lucky enough to arrive on Melbourne Cup Day, which is a horse race that stops the nation. We took a walk to Federation Square, loads of people watching the race on the ... Read more >

The best way to see the glacier would have been to take a helicopter ride and explore it from great heights. However, backpackers budget doesn't really stretch that far so we did a half day glacier walk. Describing it as a walk makes it sound quite ... Read more >

This has to be one of my favourite places in New Zealand. Lake Matheson is featured in calandars of New Zealand as the reflection of Mount Cook and Mount Tasmen show in the lake, very pretty setting. We arrived at sunset time, after spending the day ... Read more >

I expected it to be quiet at Milford Sound, but it was dead. Stunning place, but we couldn't see any houses, and there was just the one building which is a cafe and information centre during the day and the pub is next door for the evening. We stayed ... Read more >

Queenstown is known for a huge amount of activities, from bunjy jumping to white water rafting. We decided to opt for one called Canyoning. We got taken to a canyon, all kitted out in wet suits and helmets. It started off quite tame, a zip line which ... Read more >

How annoyed was I yesterday afternoon, pulling away from a curb on our way to drop Barry off and I bang Barry into a metal bin stupidly put right by the curb. Gutted I think could be the only word to describe how I was feeling. Ellie laughed! Fortunatly ... Read more >

We did it!! Very excited that today we did our skydive over Lake Wanaka! To date, this has to be the most exciting thing I have done. The views were amazing, the mountains all topped with snow, clear blue lakes - couldn't have asked for a better weather ... Read more >

Picture this, pitch black, making my way back to the campervan late at night at the holiday park, in my own little world. I open the door, look right, think to myself that our van doesn't look that way when the beds are put out. I look left and to my ... Read more >

After a late night out in Wellington we took the Ferry across to Picton, a 3 hour crossing. It was a beautiful day, a little chilly out on the main deck. I had no idea it would take that long to get the South Island but the views along the way were ... Read more >

Well since I wrote last we have collected our home and transport for the next five weeks. Now we knew with it being a 6-berth caravan it would be large, however, I think this surprised us all! It's massive, like driving a small lorry. Myself, Lou ... Read more >

This is my 3rd full day in Auckland. I have done so much walking since we've been here. First impression of the city - it is steep! Our first night we went to the cinema as they had a cheap night - went to see Step Brothers (not worth it at all, weird ... Read more >

Just come to the end of our time in Fiji. It has been amazing. We went straight to the further islands the day after we arrived, 5 hours away from the mainland by boat! It was worth getting away from Nadi as the beach wasn't up to much. I have offically ... Read more >
