We arrived in Sydney and were told our flight was delayed (Ground Hog Day now starting to set in....). We went through customs and made it as far as check in for domestic...

Thursday: Caught Train to Perth. Using our concession cards was a lot cheaper. Had to walk from the Fremantle train station to our hotel. We thought it was only going to be a short walk...... 30 mins later we reach our hotel, in 40 degree heat! After settling in we went for a walk and got to know the area better. Friday: Mum and Dad arrive brigh...

CURSED AIRLINE TRAVEL It was with a tinge of regret that i left Africa. I had started to enjoy and relish the gritty reality of the place and the adversity, (even in South Africa which didn't really feel like Africa to me - too developed). I must be blessed with bad luck when travelling on planes. Spent the trip with a mother and her two kids - ...

Marvelled at the crystal clear water running out of the Konig See along a bed of cobble stones of different sizes covered in g...

It is good to be back in Oz (although it is freezing now!). We landed in perth just the two of us. We booked on to the same flight as my parents as a surprise. Unfortunatly the plan didnt come off thanks to the attempted terrorist attack delaying all flights leaving london. This ment we had to look at two empty seats and my parents were delayed ...

I obser...
