Many of the people here have not seen much more than their state. A few said to me, when you live i...

A travel blog entry from Melbourne by foolsgoldI have finally made it to Sydney now, after having a fantastic 2 weeks in Melbourne. Can't believe I haven't made an entry for nearly a month. Very slack again I know. Well, I have some great news for you guys. Oh yes, after being in Oz for 7 months, my lower legs are finally taking on a slightly less blue hue. Yes indeedy, they are beginning to...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by helsbellsAfter the Melbourne cup, I tried to find a house and a job. I'd stayed at the Pint on Punt for a week and moved to The Ritz - for Backpackers with Jodi and Tash as we were looking for a house together.

What took me about 3 min...
