Travel Blogs from Australia
We're getting over these long flights!

Life in the Top End
This is a top pick! We have been in Darwin for a few days now. Life in the Top End of NT is nice and relaxed. The temperature is just right during the day and still warm enough to be wearing just shorts and a t-shirt well into the evening. It's still the dry season so ...
Oaklands Lodge mini reunion
This is a top pick! ... of this journey we stopped off at Kate's Berry Farm, just 3km south of Swansea, for the best ice-cream I've had in Australia. Kate grows her own berries at this picturesque location on Oyster Bay, and I recommend just visiting the place to take in the ...

Touchdown in Queensland
This is a top pick! Hey I'm in Queensland! This is the last leg of my Australian tour, ten days of East Coast adventure: I'm planning to visit the Whitsunday Islands for a bit of sailing, and also do a self drive tour across Fraser Island (the world's largest sand ...
Happy Christmas
This is a top pick! ... will be something to look forward to, and I am sure it will go on into the night. I am not even going to consider congratulating Australia on winning back the Ashes, as they are more smug than England when they win, and to be honest, most of us over here ...
Sailing the Whitsundays
This is a top pick! In less than four hours I'll be setting sail for the Whitsunday Islands on board the twelve berth 1928 classic gaff rigged ketch known as "Ron of Argyll". This vessel has a lot of history (King George V was a regular crew member and Marilyn Monroe a ...
Land of Oz (Aus)
This is a top pick! ... few high rise building and the city is spread over a large area. The harbour, teeming with sailboats, is particularly beautiful. Australia has no rabies or foot and mouth disease, nor do they want it! Therefore, their customs are very particular ...
Life on the Farm
This is a top pick! What I found so memorable about Australia are the trees. Last night we drove to Digby and Nikki's farm and both sides of the road were lined with tall graceful eucalyptus (gum) trees, many of them in bloom, the leaves in clusters such that they appear ...
The end of Sydney....and onto Perth
This is a top pick! ... home brew. 29th May 2005. Today we managed to get our campervan sorted for our jaunt around the south west of Australia. We managed to get a 4 berth Winnebago, complete with shower and toilet. A home from home. We spent the afternoon wandering ...
Rego at Murray Bridge

Christmas Spirit
This is a top pick! "Don't worry, you're not my type" "Smart?" "Single" -- Casino Royale It has admittedly been a bit of a long while since we were able to update our wonderful Travelpod site. This is mostly because we ...
And they are still here.........
This is a top pick! ... in the bedroom but i doubt Martine will allow it. We went home to get ready for the night out. Due to the tsunami tragedy, Australia put together a telethon, broadcast live from the opera house. We bought 6 tickets for $25 each, which all of it went to ...
No smokes, no beds make Jlaire a dull boy
This is a top pick! We arrive in Sydney at 6:30 am (australian time, but the middle of the night for us.) We quickly realise that there is nowhere to smoke, and (slightly) more importantly, nowhere to sleep. Although all the staff are overly nice, 'sorry darling,' 'noo ...
Blackheath v Katoomba
This is a top pick! When you hear people talk about their visit to the Blue Mountains they are usually talking about their drive up to Echo Point lookout at Katoomba, which overlooks the Three Sisters. Over the years this small town has developed a huge tourist ...
Jingle Bells........
This is a top pick! The decorations for crimbo are poor. Sydney has made a real poor show of things. There has been quite a lot of uproar due to the Ebeneezer Scrooge like mayor of Sydney. The council decided to do what Sheffield did a few years ago, and due to ethnic ...
Last day in Oz and a blast from the past.
This is a top pick! 17th July 2005 Our last day in Australia!!!!!!!!! We decided to go to an Aussie Rules football game at the MCG for our last day. We wandered the streets of Melbourne in the morning. We also met up with Andrea Shemwell, a colleague who I used to ...
Cairns without the Energy
This is a top pick! ... town is set up to cater for tourists and there doesn't appear to be that many of them at the moment. It looks as if Australia is going to be a little like the UK but warmer, sadly filled with drunks and the getting drunk. The streets are packed with ...
Sea World
This is a top pick! ... lies the Gold Coast, home to numerous Theme Parks that definitely interested me. I'd decided to wait and go to Dream World, Australia's version of Alton Towers, with Donna when she arrives on 1st December. Going on rollercoasters is more fun if you are ...
The Zoo and the haircut
This is a top pick! 15th March 2005 After the birthday celebrations we decided to go to Taronga Zoo, which is based on the north shore of Sydney. We grabbed a ferry from circular quay and made our way across the water. We took a cable-car up to the zoo and proceeded to ...
Still in Perth.............
This is a top pick! ... a great tribute to those who died. I believe we just read that the UK is planning a tribute. Its 2005 now. There is at least 2 in Australia that we have been to and the UK has to wait 3 years before it can begin. Not good. Soap Box moment over, we ...
Finally, a night out!
This is a top pick! 22nd April 2005. The last few weeks have been a little dull to say the least. Sarah has been working her socks off whilst i have been trying to get mine on with this bloody heel. Weekends have been spent around various shopping centres, but only if ...
Time for the GBR!
This is a top pick! GBR? Like... The Great Barrier reef... Please try to follow. Yup , I'm here in Cairns and what better to do here than scuba dive? I figure as long as I'm in the largest coral reef in the world (Approx. 2000 Km long , twice as big as Israel) I might as ...
Augusta
This is a top pick! It was up at the crack of dawn today to set off to see Cape Leeuwin lighthouse, and also the point where the Southern and Indian Ocean meet. It was very windy but it didn't stop Tom on his hyperactive journey to reach the sea and dip his toe in the ...
Goodbye, Goodluck, Goodtimes....
This is a top pick! So this is it, we have officially finished the travelling thing and are heading for domesticity! No more globe-hopping flights, long bumpy bus journeys, scary driving, strange and wonderful food, foreign beers and generally making a nuisance of ourselves ...
