Hi All, Hope all is going well. We are currently in Alice Springs having completed our 3 day tour of the "Rock" the Olgas and Kings Canyon. All very good and to tell the truth Uluru was probably the least impressive of the three but it is a really big rock. After doing quite a bit of travelling on our own in Australia it was good to join a group of younguns for this debauched tour through the red centre. To celebrate with our new friends I promptly had a loa...

Hi All We have been a bit slack in updating our website recently, and we have just found some time to update you with what we've been doing since leaving Adelaide for Perth. We lived on the great old Indian Pacific train for 45 hours, sleep sitting for 2 nights. It was quite interesting as we got to stop off at an abandoned town called Cook where there used to be over 200 inhabitants until they fled overnight after hearing of a gold strike in Kalgoorlie.

We got the aircon fixed and that made the next day which was 42oC a bit more bearable. Ba...

There were loads of brown roos around the campsite but funnily there were none in Kangaroo V...

Dear All, Happy New Year. Currently in Sydney recovering from the festivities. Since we wrote last, much has happened. From Malaysia we went to Singapore, only for 3 days as it is the traditional stop before Austraila, But it was nice and we did quite a bit. We took an evening out away from the hum drum of cheap travelling existence to have a drink with the nuveau riche at Raffles, it was much more 'me' than the seedy hostel we were staying in in Little Ind...
