Again, the time flew by, and our last week in Australia passed in a flash! The first stop after Rainbow beach was Hervey bay, where we met Ellie's sister Emma and her family before taking a bike ride along the esplanade to a long pier where we saw scools ... Read more >

Byron-Rainbow beach

Monday, 16 Feb 2009 | Views [600] | Comments [1]

Surfer's paradise was our next stop after Byron, and to be honest, it didn't really live up to it's name. After a couple of days being charged a heavy tourist tax at every turn, Ellie and I were happy to be rolling again. The next stop was Brisbane, ... Read more >

It's been another week or so of frenzious activity here in Australia shire, which all began with the arrival of my friend Ellie on the 28th of January. Since then, we've thoroughly explored all the good bits of Sydney, gotten bored in a museum which ... Read more >

Melbourne to Sydney

Friday, 23 Jan 2009 | Views [958] | Comments [8]

Aahh, the last week or so in Melbourne was so much fun, it was a bit sad to leave in the end! Prior to Pete's return, I explored all the quirky nooks of the city, went to the cinema, rode the free tourist bus, lost an entire afternoon in the museum ... Read more >


Hobart and the west coast

Saturday, 3 Jan 2009 | Views [992] | Comments [6]

First things first.  I need to do my duty as a Brit and have a moan about the weather. The west coast of Tasmania really did live up to the warnings that I received before going there, and was pretty unfriendly.  The other duty which I successfully ... Read more >

Ok, so. Where did I leave you guys?  Ah yes, that was it, the bay of fires. So my little jaunt from st Helens to the bay of fires was wonderful.  The blue water, white beaches and lichen covered granite rocks were all absolutely beautiful.  Captain ... Read more >

Well, it's been a pretty interesting few days.  There are pictures, but they'll have to wait 'til I've found a clever computer. the ferry ride over was a challenge, and offered a similar level of discomfort to the plane journey to Australia!  I settled ... Read more >

You know, the great thing about having no plan is that the most hair brained idea can become a reality.  So.. yesterday, when I thought 'how about a tour of Tasmania!?'  It felt like a real eureka moment. Not being one to sit on a moment of pure genius ... Read more >

Melbourne re re visited.

Hello all! Wow, what a journey.  We were delayed by a couple of hours because a lady had a panic attack just as the plane was accelerating.  The cabin crew did an amazing job of looking after her.  Once the lady was put at ease and off the plane, ... Read more >

It's great to be back here in Melbourne and it's almost exactly as I remember it. Pete picked us up from the airport and has been looking after us ever since, bless him.  It's so lovely of him to put us up the way he has, but it's also a little strange ... Read more >
