Melanka Backpackers is a HOLE !
This is a top pick! Had a sleep in today - 6am !! First stop Devil's Marbles, a geological phenomena unique to this area. The BOSS was impressed with the big rocks. I was impressed with the bush dunny which didn't stink. Back on the squishy minibus for a 5 hour ...
Cape Tribulation
This is a top pick! Despite my tour guide's original omission from our proposed route, I thought one of the few places in the world where tropical rainforest meets the sea was worth a gander! Only accessible from the south by a cable ferry, Sophie got straight into the ...
Sydney is Heaps Good Mate!
This is a top pick! ... 's most romanticised. With a population of 4.2 million and a size equal to that of greater London, Sydney truly is a place in Australia. I haven't visited Sydney, personally, in my short 28 years, so I was very keen to arrive and experience a place so ...
So far in OZ
This is a top pick! Have not written in a while as we have been up to lots, and not near a computer long enough to write! The last couple of weeks have been very enjoyable anyways. It has been nice to catch up with family in both Adelaide and Melbourne, like ...
Monkey Mia
This is a top pick! Set off early for the drive to Monkey Mia arriving at 7.45 am just in time to see the first of the dolphins coming into the bay. Very playful and a fantastic creature to see at close quarters. The dolphins are fed and watched over by park volunteers ...
Fremantle
This is a top pick! Lovely Freo, how lucky we were to visit you twice! A this point I was seriously missing Basil, and staying in the 10-bed all-girl did not make me feel much better. Three weeks ago, not far from here, I feasted on wine, chocolate, mint tea and muesli ...
Manly Coastal Walk
This is a top pick! ... , and it was nice...despite someone being completely laid out on the grass in front of us, presumably after a heavy night! We'd passed the Australia Museum on the way to Kings Cross, and for the sake of $10 we decided to go inside on our return. I ...
Rattling Down Roads Together
This is a top pick! ... ride is Roger, an Oz Experience guide on holiday. Rika, a blonde German girl. She claims to be so far underwhelmed by Australia, which is supposedly very popular in Germany. She buddies up immediately on the bus to Chris, a flamboyant gay Scotsman who ...
A Day of Rest
This is a top pick! ... on her own, too, but today I just felt like being on my own for the day, for the first time since my second day in Australia. It was pouring rain in the morning but that quickly disappeared. I went for a long run to explore the neighbourhood, and then ...
Taree
This is a top pick! Accompanied by yet more wind and rain we set off south towards the alcoholic delights of the Hunter Valley. Passing through small sleepy towns and the infamous Big (although if honest disappointingly small) Banana at Coffs Harbour, we made it as far as ...
Coral Bay
This is a top pick! Coral Bay, at the southern most tip of Ningaloo Marine Park, was an incredible place to begin our experience of the area. Just 50 meters off the shore was masses of stunning coral and marine plants, snorkelling around the bay we were constantly ...
Australia's alive!
This is a top pick! ... could have regular breaks where we sat down. We weren’t able to stand outside because the hot tropical parts of Australia are crawling with bugs and insects that you don’t want crawling all over you….. By the time dinner was ready ...
Oh we do like to be beside the Seaside!!
This is a top pick! ... . After seeing the Rugby Match in the Telstra Dome (For anyone who does not know, Telstra is one of the main Phone Companies in Australia (like BT) and they sponsor the Stadium), we decided to take in an A League Soccer match (Part of our " Lets ensure ...
'Drop Bears' and other Australians
This is a top pick! ... over the paths. The aquarium was also an interesting stop. They had a good selection of colorful fish, an exhibit on Australia's famous poisonous fish and animals and a pool for touching some of the non-poisonous ones that really captured Brittney's ...
Atherton Tablelands
This is a top pick! Still reeling from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia continued to impress us with the rolling countryside of the Atherton Tablelands. We spent a lovely day driving around the many sweeping green hills and farms. We stopped initially at Lake Barrine and ...
Frank, The Tempermental Camel
This is a top pick! I've ridden horses, and I've backpacked with llamas, and now, being in the Australian outback, it seemed like time to try the next logical (if bum-crushing) step: riding a camel! So I signed up for an hour-long ride in the dry Todd River bed outside of ...
Come Rain and Shine
This is a top pick! Our trip on the Great Ocean Road really was a game of two halves. The first half coming from Adelaide is the section with some of the more well-known sights like the 12 apostles, London bridge and Loch Ard Gorge. Things you just have to see. And see we ...
Mount Larcom
This is a top pick! After the joys of the Whitsunday Islands the following day we decided to make some progress as we plunged south on Highway 1. Mackay didn't bring the chunky slab of carrot cake we had been hoping for after we had heard on the radio it was a ...
What You Leave Behind
This is a top pick! ... allow me, I hope, to spend a couple of months back home boring people with stories about the last year and then return to Australia, and our round the world trip, with a few of those fantastic British Pounds in my back pocket. Before I stopped to ...
New Years Eve in Sydney - unforgettable!!
This is a top pick! So on the 30th December, after Nic had finished work, we packed up Jethro and headed off up to Sydney to celebrate New Year. New Year's Eve for Nic and I is normally spent with family and friends at a party at my parents house and has been that way ...
Snip, Snip, Snip
This is a top pick! The new job has begun and a week of it has passed; it's quite boring and not something I'd want to brag about on my resume, but it's money, isn't it? It's not really packing grapes so much as cleaning them up to be packed: snipping out the rotten ones, ...
Mission Beach
This is a top pick! Mission Beach, stretching for 14kms of beautiful sand looking out to Dunk Island, was another beautiful Aussie beach. Camping right up on the beach front, as some skydivers parachuted onto the beach, with a stubby and a pancake, was a bearable way to ...
Townsville
This is a top pick! ... and then headed via a series of very enjoyable hair-pin bends and a delightful dirt track to Wallaman Falls. At 278kms this is Australia's longest single drop waterfall, and it is amazing. Arriving into the car park at the top of the drop it was ...
Noosa
This is a top pick! Lovely Noosa treated me very well, after all that driving to get there. The morning was spent walking along the harbour, and visiting the many lovely shops, a significant amount of which I looked for too dishevelled to even window shop in. Then ...
Palm Beach and more of Sydney
This is a top pick! No blog as such in that there is no real write up, just some more photos of our time in Sydney and of Palm Beach which is north of Sydney as it better known as Summer Bay, location of Aussie soap opera Home and Away. We hope you enjoy the ...
Bovine Romantics
This is a top pick! The Hatfields (Peter, Lynda, his wife and the other owner, and Kym, their daughter, around my own age but generally quiet) are getting the most out of my time; I paint the outside of dormitory huts, I saw, I sand, I feed animals, I weed, I vacuum floors, ...
Singapore to Berry, NSW, Australia!!!
This is a top pick! ... them when he passes. Off for our maiden voyage to Jervis Bay which is one of the many National Parks in Australia. Jethro happily trundled along the winding roads that led us to our destination. We swam, then went for something to eat ...
Good morning Sydney!
This is a top pick! Up early for my flight as can be seen from the sunrise pic. Even looking at the sun on a computer monitor I still feel as though I should be looking at the screen with sun-glasses on... View of Sydney from David's of course. Bit ...
The Perils and the Pleasures
This is a top pick! Some days exist solely to remind you that no-one can be a backpacker forever. Sometimes, when everything is going so smoothly, you feel like it's a lifestyle you maintain forever, this living out of a bag, bouncing from spot to spot, meeting people, ...
(Martin) Laurence of Australia (& Kate)
This is a top pick! Get it? Laurence of Australia instead of Laurence of Arabia? Fraser Island = Sand = Arabia = Laurence = Martin. Well I liked it anyways. Sorry. Apologising at the start of a blog is never a good thing. An early start as promised. Alarm ...
