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

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 >
