We woke up and there were kangaroos outside the hostel which was cool. We got breakfast included which was nice. Then we were off to explore. Luckily today there was lots of blue sky which was nice! Still cloudy but no rain! Our first stop was Mackensie Falls. We walked about 1km down some steps to the bottom of the falls and took some pictures ...

Driving from Adelaide airport back home, we experience a feeling we've had before after extended overseas stays - everything is so familiar, yet our place in it feels so foreign. In a strange way, it feels like we've only been gone a week.

Now 'back to reality' as we've had so many people say to us in the last few days, but to us, reality...

My first full day of teaching here was quite an adventure. We set a new high temp record for the last 70 years with 47.6 degrees C and as a result everyone was moving a little slowly. Anyways more on that later, but now back to what we have been doing since we arrived. After a late lunch on the Tuesday that we arrived, we decided to go exploring...

Hi all, Today its Adelaide. We drove into the city centre for a look around. 1st of all we went to the Central Market for lunch. The food court is full of all kinds of Asian food and it was OK. Just OK. However, as we were eating, a couple of Chinese dragons came into the court and put on a dance performance for a good 20 minutes so that was wor...

Today me and Granny visited the Supreme Court (and no for those that don't know the ins and outs, it was not my or Granny's doing!) It would have possibly have been more interesting if i could have heard and understood half of the legal chat, but i suppose that is what the coffee afterwards is for! On the way home I finally met the infamous Mile...

South Australia has a concentrated wine region featuring the Coonawara, Barossa, Clare and Mclaren vignobles we got some serious sampling in, even buying a more expensive bottle of shiraz. Now we are just waiting for the right occasion to drink it (this will occur shortly). Clare is should be famous for its graffiti covered rocks, it appears tha...

Finally the day has come! I'm taking my 4 weeks and heading to Brazil with stops at Sydney, Auckland and Argentina along the way. Everything is booked and planned, but hopefully not over planned. I've had far too long to look forward to this holiday so the list of things to see and do is probably a bit too long for the 30 days available to do it...

Today I said goodbye to Warrawong, Adrian, Stu, Martha and Daffy. Of them all I shall miss Daffy the most. He was a good duck - I even had him eating out of my hand - literally. He was the best duck I ever met. Today was actually a pretty long day - I got up early to help Adrian pick up the Potteroos we've been capturing for the last couple of w...

Arriving in Australia has probably been the most exciting part of my (John) trip so far for 3 reasons. 1) My brother and his family bravely emigrated to Adelaide, South Australia (SA) in March to start a new life and I couldn't wait to reacquaint myself with them and my adorable niece (the inspiration behind the naming of this entry) Hannah, aft...

I find that whenever I'm about to move to the other side of the world, suddenly everything falls into place and life is great. That's happening now. I'm very content in Adelaide, I have a great job, great relationship, great friends, great weather... compared to the UK anyway. Of course if it weren't all about to change I wouldn't be appreciatin...
