Before we left for Melbourne from Cairns, we said our goodbyes to Sinead and John, with an aussie bbq....what else!  We had a great laugh with them, and they were off on their way south down the east coast.  We got our Jetstar flight to Melbourne which took about 4 hours.  Got a bus to St. Kilda to our backpackers place called Hom...

Home! Australia! Home! Well the weather is a little bit colder than Spain, Italy & Dubai, but not far off the weather throughout Nothern Europe! I have had a fantastic time away. Loved being with the tour with people I had never met, and loved being with someone that I knew to share the experience and be able to talk to about it. Well that's it!...
