After no sleep due to drunken hostel revellers believing slamming doors and running up and down stairs at 3am was fun I woke up grumpy. So did the hostel owner who promptly kicked the offenders out after they were dead rude to her. Bit of a shame as she hadnt planned to kick them out and they were nice guys just tell them to shut it but after th...

Hello to one and all. Im coming to you live from South Australia. 8 1/2 hours in the future. We made it across the infamous nullarbor in 1 piece, 22 hours man and boy. Things thought about while sat in car - 1. How depressing it must be to be working in a roadhouse when the next town is hundreds of k's away. 2. How cheap yet satisfying instant n...

I never thought I'd say this about a city but it's been great being back in Adelaide. Adelaide's a pleasure. It's simple, laid back and snail-paced, nothing like your average city and a refreshing change from Perth where the people are tightly toned, heavily groomed and immaculately dressed. Not real world. Here in Adelaide they're just people d...

Well finally it is the day before my first flight. I have spent the last three weeks fine tuning my first month's travel plans. The biggest hassle I have had so far was organising my backup bank account. It has taken the last three weeks from opening the account to receiving the last piece of information required for internet banking. The Banks ...

Derniers 600km avant d'arriver a Adelaide. Quelques petites collines commencent a apparaitre, et les arbres sont plus verts et plus grands. On longe plusieurs lacs sales, qui quand ils sont secs laissent juste une grande empreinte blanche sur la plaine. On est bien contents d'arriver et de retrouver un peu de civilisation apres ces 4000 km de vo...

I'd only heard the term "orphan Christmas" this holiday, but it's the third I've had since leaving Canada for Korea in 2004. My first was in Thailand, last year Baja, Mexico, and between the warm, sunny weather, gorgeous beaches and copious bars, I felt as if I could continue the trend for years to come. And without meaning to sound ungrateful t...

So off to collect our campervan - my god not exactly what we were expecting - it was absolutely huge, it was this big 4 wheel drive thing and us being slightly a bit drunk had some laugh at it! There was definatley no way I was driving that baby even think Dermot was a bit scared at the start. So off we went on our merry way in the aptly named B...

07/04/06 Arrived in Adelaide at 6.20am after a night on the bus!! Went straight to the hostel and back to bed... Only have a few days in Adelaide, so got up and toured the city, not that there is a lot to see. It has a population of about 1 million. Looked ropund the city including japanese gardens, food market and victoria square. Met up with D...

5th day - We're off to Adelaide So, I thought that Harbour Rocks had redeemed themselves...the chocolates they left, the nicer room, the extended checkout...until we received a call from the front desk at around 10:15 this morning asking, essentially, why we hadn't checked out. When I explained the night duty manager, Randall, had given us until...
