Corner Essex & Marine Terrace Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia, 6160, 8-9432-4000
Apparently there's a drought going on in Australia. Well nobody told Margaret River! Last night I was woken by Cyclone Shane (that's what I've called it, although was toying with calling it Brett also, but my Hampshire loyalty won the day). The rain and wind shook my poor room to its very core, the posts of my 4 poster were creaking like nobodies business! But on the plus side it did drown out the noise of the fridge, which had a tendency to announce itself with a thump then proceed to hum fo...
Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia ian_cAfter finally arriving in Melbourne late the night before, I was eager to have a good start to my day. I began at the Queen Victoria markets, which are massive markets that have everything that you could possibly imagine: clothes, jewelry, toys, souvenirs, fabrics, fresh fruit, veggies, meat, seafood, cheeses, pastries, ect. I found a few little things as I shopped around and munched on different food. The markets were so big that they were overwhelming, even for an experienced shopper like m...
Melbourne, Australia jkweintraubOk, so BIG apologies for being very lax with keeping you up-to-date on my adventure. But as i'm sure you've figured out, i'm having a wicked time, and every time i'm ready to type, the pooter's taken over by someone else. Ok, so here's what i've been up to, and i'll add photos later in the week. I travelled on an Adventure Tours trip from Sydney to Melbourne, which took 4 days/3 nights. We spent the first evening in Jindabyne, in the Snowy Mountains, after visiting Canberra during the day. No...
Melbourne, Australia jules27I arrived in Melbourne feeling a bit sketchy, all feverish and achy bones. I think maybe being exposed to chilly air-con for hours in Singapore airport and on the plane had taken its toll. On top of that, I discovered that as a parting gift the islands had given me a tropical worm in my foot which itched like hell. And how bloody long does it take to get through Australian immigration and customs? I remember going through with my school rugby team six years ago - they made all 40 of us scrape...

Just a short way out of Perth is Fremantle. It was one of the major ports at one time and also a major jail. In the early 1800's, this part of Australia was slowly dying for lack of labor. Officials managed to convince Britain to send over convicts so that they could have some cheap labor. While Britain wasn't thrilled about the idea because of the expense, they were less thrilled about the ...

Perth, Western Australia, Australia suzmartlew... kkert vejr og vi gik lidt ind og ud af butikker og fik frokost inden vi gik en tur på stranden, hvor John og Jacob var ude at bade mens vi andre bare soppede. Efter at blive afkølet lidt besluttede vi os for at besøge et af de finere barsteder på havnen, hvor vi kunen nyde udsigten fra anden sal udover havnen. Her fik vi os alle en lækker drink. Janne og jeg fik ...

Perth, Western Australia, Australia jemmak... a library, a swimming pool, a police service... and partially for the rest of us coming in and disturbing the town quiet, what with our need for dive and tackle shops and hostels and hotels and caravan parks. exmouth is however a very nice place, with lovely people, a peaceful atmosphere, especially at night when the temperature drops and suddenly people can relax and stop stressing about the heat, and herds of emu and kangaroos hopping around at night! exmouth again saw us staying in ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia vickz_2... city but it is the most isolated city in the world and it really does feel it. Also I'm getting used to their funny ways a bit more but how odd are Australian men! A recent poll voted them the worlds worst husbands/partners and I believe it. Social skills . . .whats that?<br><br>Now its August 8 months later. We are house sitting for John's boss, when he comes back its road trip time. We have started doing more ...
