Well i arrived in sydney Early in the Morning, after the long plane Journey. Then got on the plane to Perth around 1 in the afternoon. Tekla was supposed to pick me up but unfortunately she went to the wrong airport so it took another half hour before she turned up. Anyway got back to their house (Tekla, Maya and Ashas) and stayed there just the...

Friday 29th February Well, the trip started with my leaving drinks at Black Tom's Wine Bar in West Perth. I'd been there before with a few friends and enjoyed the peaceful, leafy terrace. Today, however, the place was awash with pompous *******s in suits sporting pendulous beer guts, greasy, thinning hair and puny pony tails. What with them barg...

Australians have some really good ideas (no honestly, they do!), and one of them is Spring in the Valley. Everyone knows that wine tours are really popular over here, but some might imagine them to be a bit sedate and civilised...which to be fair, I think they usually are. To make them a bit more "Australian", the good people of Perth celebrate ...

I've had a great last few days in Perth, the weather's actually been quite nice & sunny too which makes a change from the past month! Caught up with Angela & Karyn who were on my tour to Monkey Mia & also James & Catherine from the hostel. Friday night was going to be a quiet few drinks out & it turned into about 25 of us fro...

Here we are in Perth!!! After 3 weeks on the road from Melbourne, we finally made it :-) We struggled to find a place to stay tonight because the city is full of backpackers but we ended up in Backpackers International, cool place, it's like a big house where we are all sisters and brothers living in between the kitchen where the host cooks for ...

So here I am on the other side of the world!! I feel that I probably should have written sonner, but I've been so busy taking it all in, recovering from jetlag and spending some long-delayed quality time with Matt that I really haven't wanted to sit down in front of a computer and write it all down! So anyway, to recap on everything that's happe...

I went out walking to the Innaloo shopping centre to get a new card for my phone. Telstra came through on this. It was a great day for a walk and to get my bearings around the area. Helen and I went for a lovely meal to the Amarin Thai restaurant and on the way, and on Helen's recommendation, I took a look at and bought a new pair of sandals Ecc...

In terms of our Australian adventure, I figure that this is about as good time as any to think back and take stock of what has happened over the past 2 months...things that come to mind: ...almost getting eaten by sharks twice, hanging out and getting intimate with Koalas and Kangaroos, Surfing every good wave all the way up and down the east co...

Giungiamo per la terza volta a Perth, questa volta dopo un giorno di macchina sulle tranquille, dritte e solitarie strade australiane

Perth and Fremantle (which for ease I shall refer to the two collectively as Perth, yes they are both very different cities but the suburbs of one meets the other these days and so they can be classed as one!) We collected our campervan in Perth, and it seemed to take most of the day, sorting out the paperwork and then checking everything over! ...
