Welcome to the Top End
This is a top pick! Another ridiculous rushed morning and I didn't even get to finish my first cup of coffee before Adrian started the bus to get everyone on board. The BOSS had a mouthful of toothpaste and others were still running around picking up last bits and pieces. ...
The Red Centre
This is a top pick! Another truly dreadful night in the Melanka Backpacker. Words cannot adequately express how truly bad this place is. It should be either totally refurbished or pulled down. The common spaces and the bathrooms have not been cleaned in two days; our room ...
XXXX and the City
This is a top pick! ... are worth about $3 each depending on where you buy it. The choice was from the top selling 'XXXX Gold' (second in Australia to 'VB'), 'XXXX Bitter' (only really sold well in Queensland - a bitter lager), 'Summer Bright XXXX' (a Corona alternative, ...
The Blue Mountains
This is a top pick! The night ended nice and late but with just enough sleep to wake up at the crack of dawn to catch a bus to the blue mountains. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate on this gloomy day, but I did get to see a kangaroo in the wild! ...
Sunburnt in Sydney
This is a top pick! ... house and bridge. The next day woke up early to do the 7km walk from Bronte beach to the most famous beach in Australia, Bondi. The walk was fantastic and the cliffs and beaches are spectacular. After winding down from that I walked into downtown ...
Christmas in summer - very very odd
This is a top pick! ... , what we would be doing or who we would be spending it with. As it turned out we would be spending Christmas in Australia, doing lots of fun and unusual activities (unusual in the sense that Christmas in the sun offers a whole different lot of ...
A flying visit to Uluru
This is a top pick! So, after a couple of weeks on the road, we decided that we would give Jethro a well earned break and flew up to Uluru (the truth is that we didn't dare risk driving through thousands of kilometres of desert with nothing but the burning sun and snakes ...
On The Road Again
This is a top pick! ... I am at all familiar with but it sems to be quite good fun. I think the most noteworthy thing so far is this - Australia is beautiful. I mean really, remarkably beautiful. True, there are a few to many things hiding in the bushes that want to kill ...
Watarrka National Park
This is a top pick! Kings Canyon is probably the next most visited site in the centre of Australia after the Uluru-Kata Juta region. It's a very impressive gorge in one of the regions many sandstone ranges. The rim walk is a 3 hour trek that starts from the mouth of the ...
An Epic Day
This is a top pick! A late morning and we head to a nice Bondi brunch place called Trio where I was introduced to truffled eggs, which may have changed my life forever. I absolutely died and considered ordering a second round before some people we "knew" magically ...
The beautiful city of Sydney
This is a top pick! As we all know Pat is a very friendly guy and one of the many friends that he has made over the years, Chris, happens to live in a lovely place called Manly, north of Sydney centre. Chris and Pat had never actually met ...
Wet and Windy in the Whitsundays - Day 3
This is a top pick! ... man was yet another lovely German we had met on this part of the trip. Luke and Fiona were great fun and spoke enthusiastically of Australia, and some of the places we are yet to visit – but yet reminded us that a lot of people here have ventured ...
The Sound of Silence - NT of Australia
This is a top pick! ... largest single rock in the world. (The world's largest rock: Mt. Augustus in the Golden Outback region of Western Australia.) Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas, are a group of large domed rock formations located about 365 km southwest of ...
Animals and Airplanes
This is a top pick! Just a short one from Vinny. Not all of us have throw ourselves into such a heavy employment load as my cohort. I've been taking it rather easier. A few gardening jobs here and there. One weeding for two old Aussie brothers, who started sucking down ...
Theodor Storm
This is a top pick! ... point and in no time we were boarding the Theodor Storm, the aforementioned cargo ship on a journey from Europe to Singapore to Australia and back again. Our first pleasant surprise was the quality of the room - it was clean, for starters. We were ...
The Night Sky Welcomes Me to the South
This is a top pick! On Monday night, after a roaring game of Trivial Pursuit which Helen won handily (despite my konwing all the answers to the preponderance of questions about ice hockey), I said, "You know, I haven't seen the southern stars since I arrived; I'd like to ...
Canberra
This is a top pick! ... can be barbequed! Our final day was spent engaged in the vast exhibits of the War Memorial, poignantly commerating Australia's role in twentieth century conflicts. As a historian it was interesting to escape the classic European / American ...
The Anti Tourist
This is a top pick! "Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby" -- Top Gun St Patrick's Day came and went with lots of work, lots of Red Bull, and more than a few Iraqi Occupations. We managed to break all records at the pub, including biggest day for ...
Uluru (Ayers Rock)
This is a top pick! Iconic, mystical and breathtakingly massive, Uluru cannot be seen as just a rock. Sadly, far too many Australians and tourists alike, abuse Uluru as if it is just a natural wonder. It pains me to say it, but for once Germaine Greer was ...
Kakadu
This is a top pick! We woke early for our second tour. I would have liked a day of rest but it was not to be - at least we had clean clothes. The Cav provided a nice breakfast and the best coffee I've had since Broome. Adventure Tours picked us up around 6.30am in the same ...
The beautiful city of Melbourne
This is a top pick! Another walking tour of the city brings me to the Victoria Market, Telstra Dome, Flagstaff Gardens, the Stock Exchange, Queen Victoria Gardens, and all the areas of downtown Melbourne. It's a very nice city and seems to be quite young, wealthy and ...
Road Trip the First
This is a top pick! We checked out of the hostel in Perth early in the morning and I got my first chance at driving the Commodore. The power steering was completely broken so it was hellishly hard to get it to turn corners and within five minutes Ian's navigation had me ...
Out of the Rush Life
This is a top pick! ... Sydney this morning on the Greyhound and took the bus toPort Macqaurie. I"m heading this way to join up with Conservation Volunteers Australia, which I'm hoping will give me an opportunity to muck around in the real Aussie bush. The views on the way ...
The Pursuit of Happyness
This is a top pick! ... know some of the rules it becomes watchable.... For me anyway. We had bought tickets for the one-day international between England and Australia. Again just to tick another thing off the "must do" list. It was played in the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground), ...
Lots to do...
This is a top pick! After a morning spent browsing in the many music shops, Rie and me headed towards the Harbour Bridge in the afternoon. We'd been debating whether or not to do the Bridge Climb (extortionately priced at $160), and indeed we've still not decided to this ...
Kakaduuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
This is a top pick! Another day , another relocation. That's right , we were about to go with two guys that had a car when we began calling the rental agencies. Finally , we found a relocation from Darwin to Adelaide that needs to be back by the beginning of July and ...
The Holy Trinity of Travelpod
This is a top pick! "There is a house in New Orleans, They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy, And God, I know, I'm one." -- The House of the Rising Sun The first self-imposed rule of Travelpod was that we wouldn't talk about women. ...
The Key
This is a top pick! ... own. Not as a quest for independence, but as an expression of it. I don't really know what I was expecting from Australia; there were high expectations because it's a tried and tested backpacker route, trodden by millions of feet just like mine in ...
Everybody Needs Good Neighbours.....!!!
This is a top pick! ... cosmopolitan and lots to do. The main highlight was the volume of vegetarian restaurants. Apparently there are more in Melbourne than overall Australia! Well Oz was just about coming to an end so we made our way back to Sydney a few days before our ...
Bicycling South
This is a top pick! My big bike ride had begun, with the first leg thirty kilometres from Freo to Rockingham, where I would pick up a bus to Bunbury. (I didn't have the time or money to bike the intervening kms, and there weren't places to stay, either). I wasn't sure what ...
