Hi guys, well we can't believe that we fly to New Zealand tomorrow.  We've been in Australia for 2 and a half months now and it's just flown by.  Here's our last journal entry from OZ We arrived in Adelaide on 29/04/07 after a 9 hour overnight bus journey.  We didn't get any sleep the whole way as the driver was falling asleep at the wheel and we had to keep any eye on him - very scary! Adelaide is a smaller city than Sydney and Melbourne but still has...

Hi Guys, since we last updated the journal, we went back to Sydney for another 5 nights to soak up the city lifestyle and stay in civilisation again after Uluru!  This time in Sydney we had time to visit some of the suburbs so we went to Glebe and went on a trip to Bondi Beach and some of the other beach suburbs.  We've also been in Melbourne for 9 nights. Melbourne is the second biggest city after Sydney.  There is loads to see and do and we've been...

Hi guys, we've just been to Uluru (Ayers Rock) for a couple of nights so here's how the trip went.We got a flight to Ayers Rock from Sydney (the bus would have taken about 3 days to get there!).

It was about 37 degrees while we were there. The outback...

Hi guys we've been in Sydney for a week now so here's what we've been up to.We left Byron Bay really excited about going to Sydney as it's such a famous city. We got to the bus stop half an hour early thinking we were really organised and anxious to be on our way to Sydney. A bus pulled up which said "Brisbane" on the front so we thought that this couldn't be our bus as we were going south (and Brisbane is North). Anyway after waitin...

Well it's our last day in Byron Bay today so we thought we'd update the journel. Can't believe we are leaving here already, but time flys!Byron Bay is a little town with a gorgeous beach. The beach isn't like some of the others we have been to (white sand, palm trees etc) but is beautiful in a rugged way. We've had a few days chilling out on the beach and resting before we get to Sydney which is going to be hectic with lots of sightseeing agai...
