I am awoken by the storms a few times through the night and decide that it is time for me to move on when I see the cloud cover once arising from my deep slumbers. Breakfast is taken next to some koalas which are conveniently housed a short stone throw from my bungalow and I can see how lazy they really are. I found out that eating the eucalyptu...

Arrived in Brisbane at 06.00am on Good Friday morning. Thought I had booked some accommodation online, but it seems that the booking didnt work, so for the first time I found myself arriving somewhere with no idea where I was staying. Probably not the best day to have a stuff up with a booking, being the bank holiday weekend. It seemed that ever...

Hi folks, sorry the blog has been lagging a bit but our organisation has also been lagging. After a marathon journey we have arrived in Brisbane. We hit the town last night and were not really that impressed. Brisbane is just a big city and to someone who does not know there way about it is hard to find anywhere. We went to two different backpac...

Daniel and I awoke at 4am to watch the pre-game for the Rugby World Cup Final in Paris between England and South Africa. The Springboeks (as the Africans are known) were favorites over the Pomies. Being that half of the house is English, I had no choice but vehemently root for the South African squad. Having never watched a rugby game before and...

Apres Sydney, nous avons donc pris l'avion et sommes arrives a Brisbane. Bon Brisbane j'en gardais pas un souvenir incroyable et franchement la ville elle est pas incroyable. On s'est ballade, on a marche le long de la riviere, on s'est fait des supers grillades (mmmh des cotes d'agneau). On a ete dans un parc animalier (Lone Pine Sanctuary) ou...

Blue Mountains (arrived 24/09/06) A two hour train ride from Sydney took us to the Blue mountains. The contrast to the big city was striking. Katoomba, a charming and tranquil little town, was our base. We stumbled upon a Fawlty Towers'esque guest house - complete with a mad owner (who in fact was a lovely woman from Truro). We marched off strai...

Yes folks, despite not making any entries for a while, I am still alive and kicking. To prove I am not John pretending to be me - the Lord of the Rings films are ace and the battle scenes are NOT too long. See? It is me! So, as you may have gathered I was locked in a dungeon working like a dog for most of the time we were in Brisbane. The dungeo...

Just after I wrote my last travelpod entry I got a phone call off the agency asking me to work at the Gabba for the AFL game. I had a bit of a row with the woman on the phone as if I'd have stuck to my original plan I'd have got 6 hours work at Sofitel where as at the Gabba I'd only get 3 hours, I'd also have to put up with ****** up Aussies all...

Vi har naa emigrert sorover, til Brisbane. Varet her minner om en fin norsk sommer, med lite fuktighet - men godt og varmt naar sola skinner. The dingo ate your baby Fraser island er en oy vi ser frem til a draa paa med skrekkblandet fryd, hvor baade dodelige funnel webs (edderkopper), brysomme dingoes, skummele ripcurrents (hva naa det er paa n...
