Ok. So it is only 4 sleeps to go and things are a little, how should I say, disorganised. **** up in brewery are words that spring to mind. Breweries aside, as much as I love them, I have managed to set up my first travel blog which would indicate procrastination on the boring side of holidays - the packing. Never being one to travel light, I ha...

Brisbane, 8th-10th October 2008. We passed into Queensland without even realising. In the border town of Tweed Heads, it was literally a case of one side of the road being in New South Wales, the other Queensland. Very weird. The only way to tell (apart from a small border monument) was that the Queensland side of the road was comprised of tower...

We arrived back in Brisbane on tuesday 11th in good time to take the van for repairs on the 12th.We booked the 12th to14th in an on-site caravan so we won't have to sleep in the van in the panel beaters workshop.

Yes it's true. I'm in love. His name is Damien and he's a native Australian. He's short and furry and sweet as can be. He was the koala I cuddled and he was just lovely. After some careful questioning I learned that each koala only works for 30 minutes a day which doesn't interfere with their normal daily life. They also have every third day off...

We rented a car for the day and thought it would be fun to explore Queensland's green side. It was a bit weird at first driving on the left side but we had no problems other then turning the wipers on rather then the signal button. We just had to always remind ourselves to stay on the left side. It didn't take long to leave Brisbane and before w...

It was neat to get to feed kangaroos out of our hands.
