Gday guys and gals Well what an active last few weeks its been in good old Oz.  Since last writing in Exmouth I've flown around the remaining terroritories.  Sorry to leave one horse town Exmouth behind (not! although the whale sharks were amazing) back to Perth for a few days and a trip to Fremantle.  The jellyfish are huge in this part of the world, almost the size of a small child, ish.  From Perth I flew to Sydney, and boy was I excited. I did ...

Gday from OzWell I've been here for just over 2 weeks and have been busy. I started in Melbourne which I have decided is good enough place for me to move to. It has a lovely vibe to the place, lots of cafe culture and arts markets to ponder. It also seems to be the city of events. . I had just missed the grand prix but was there when the World Fina swimming championships the international flower festival, a food and wine festival all taking place at the ...

Kia Orana from Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Well I've spent 7 hard days here, doing virtually nothing. Mainly as the pace of life here is rather slow. The islands are beautiful, just like the postcards but the downside is I arrived at the end of a very wet, almost cyclone period. No idea how the pilot landed the plane in the torrential storms - waves were coming over the breakwater onto the runway, nice. Thankfully it stopped the following night but not before th...

Kia Ora, Well its my last day in NZ. The last few weeks have been full of adventure on the South Island. I've flown in a light aircraft over Mt Cook - although the landing was something I'd rather not repeat, apparantly because of the thermals the pilot literally has to throw the plane down on the tarmac, umm. I've been on a jetboat along the Dart River valley in Queenstown. This was great fun, although the woman sitting next to me didnt seem to appr...
