Hellooooo. Still no word from Al so I've decided to write a piece about these smashing places we call caravan parks. Its something of a forgotten form of lodgings in Australia as hostels are so cheap. However for 3 chaps in a van you can stay for $10 a night each-ish(particularly if you lie at reception and say theres only 2 of you). We've staye...

Traci unfortunately had to survive a "real" day of travel by spending 9.5 hours in the Brisbane airport before we caught our connecting flight to Cairns so we could go scuba diving on the GREAT BARRIER REEF. Our day at the airport was pretty boring to be honest, but having Traci there made it lots better. We played cards, booked a scuba trip, re...

After a nite in Noosa we headed down the road to see Australia Zoo. It was one of those things that you think should be really good as it was Steve Irwins Zoo and it would go against some sort of backpacker rule that if you didn't go to see it you were missing out. Anyway I was mad to see it as I've seen a right few of the crocodile hunter shows...

Wow!! What more can I say really?!! A great day!!! Have a look at the piccies to see all the gorgeous animals I met!! hehe!! And I even hugged a koala!!!

Well folks I have finally set up a travel blog to keep everyone updated on my tour. At last! I really am itching to jump on the plane and fly out. However, I have been really enjoying my time here in Oz as well. There has been travel up to Townsville and Cairns (courtesy of work), plenty of drinks and laughs and some excellent beach days. So for...

I've been in Brisbane for a good 3 weeks now. A lot has happened, but I haven't been able to get to an internet cafe to write about it. I came to Brisbane for the sole purpose of working and saving cash for the rest of my travels through Aus. I found myself floating all over the city and some its suburbs trying to get a handle on what jobs are a...

As part of the OZ Experience tour we got to go Zorbing for free, which was so much fun on the way to Brisbane. This was basically rolling down a hill in a big ball filled with a bit of water and fairy liquid, not too dissimilar to a hamster ball. There were three of us in there and you just go flying! The pictures will explain a little better......

Loads to tell you all again but I'll try and shorten it down because I don't want to bore you. Before I go any further though, I'd just like to say that I'm almost at the point of giving up on trying to understand these geordie foreigners. For the last 2 weeks I've been trying to teach them English but still they persist in using words like ha w...

Wednesday 16th November 2005 We woke up this morning with slightly bad heads, I didn't know how Alex and Hayley would of felt as they had to be up at 6am to go diving on the Barrier Reef! We decided not to spend money on the reef as we had done the diving and snorkelling in Fiji which was second to none. We were flying to Brisbane later this aft...

Wento out to the Tangalooma resort off the Brisbane coast, on the way we saw a dolphin in the bay, then we went further out and had a pod of four humpback whales alongside the boat, three adults and a youngster. The photo on here isn't so good as the battery ran out on my digital camera, but when I get the others developed there'll hopefully be ...
