Cooee on St Kilda

Hey Hey!!! Has been a while again! lol! But oh well! Here's what's been happening. Got to Noosa on the good old Greyhound Australia coach. Stayed at Koalas. Honest truth i think i was expecting more then there was! My bad! I don't know what i was expecting but it just wasn't it, if you get me?! Had a pretty funny first day there though. Ended up hanging out with Fern and another girl whos name i cant remember! whops! lol! Anyways, we ended up going down to the river for a few mid afternoon dr...

Das ist einer der schoensten Botanischen Gaerten der Welt!

We spent a long overnight bus to get to Sydney and spent the day wandering around the Darwin harbour. The area seemed really nice and we had a day although we wernt looking forward to another night bus that evening. We arrived at Melbourne and checked into a really modern newly built hostel called Cooe. It was in St kilda which was outside the city centre but the area had a decent night life and was fairly busy during the day with a nice feel to it. We went into the centre of melbourne a few ...

Flew out early to Melbourne whilst Natalie is still finishing her job, i've come with Nilam who I met in Katoomba last week. Our initial plan was to find work for a while, but it's too stressful for me so I won't be working just yet! St. Kilda is a cool little town once you get to know it, especially once you find the actual beach! It has nothing on any of Sydney's beaches though but is nice when the sun is setting. I'm on a budget which has meant walking to Melby city centre which takes over...

Its another really early start today and we're back on the road again with Lisa in the driving seat.  We have to head directly to Melbourne today as we have reservations at a hostel, which means Great Ocean Road will need to wait for another time. Its yet another scorcher today so the air-con stays off as the car makes its way up the dreaded hills from yesterday and out of Adelaide with ease, barely breaking a sweat unlike Lisa and I who are boiling in the heat. After that its all downhill an...

I was very sad about leaving Sydney but looking forward to exploring Melbourne, Australia's second largest city (3.8 million people). I arrived at my hostel, Cooee on St. Kilda. When I arrived, they were serving free pancakes which was really nice. That night, the hostel hosted a pamper party for the girls that included free facials, massages and champagne. They held a poker tournament for the boys. The next night, the hostel hosted a trivia contest. I was on a team with an American girl and ...

G'day! Yes, I finally arrived safe and well, after a delay from Heathrow due to a thunderstorm, and a bit of a lunatic taxi driver that tried to convince me he knew where we were going, even after I had to shout out to him when he was driving past the hostel! And he also tried to tell me that I should expect England to be cold all the time because the UK is very close to the North Pole, just like Tasmania is very close to the South Pole and they have snow there. You'll be surprised to know th...
