A day sat on the premier bus service 7.25am to 5.30pm, through scenery I have already seen whilst driving up the coast in the camper. I arrive in Airlee beach to find that bad weather is forecast and it doesn't look like the boats will be going out.The lady in the internet café is really rude and my hostel is pretty manky. So I head to bed feeling pretty despondent! The next morning the weather isn't showing any signs of improvement, so I set about thinking u...

So, sad to be minus the McCarthy I get started reluctantly on a plan for the rest of my time in Oz, there is so much to see that I want to fit in as much as possible! Sadly the swimming pool was calling the first day and I just relaxed whilst thinking about it for the first day, oops!!

DAY 1 - Brisbane to Dicky Beach ...

DAY14 - Merry Beach to Blue Mountains (327km) An early morning as lots of driving to do today!

I got very bored today in the car, wrote my journal, painted my nails, sang into my hairbrush and finally we...

DAY7 - Melbourne to Phillip Island (163km) With all of our washing done, some free time on the internet and a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs (many thanks to Mark and Cath) off we head to Phillip Island in search of the Baby Penguins... Sadly it wasn't all it is advertised to be we could only just make them out waddling up the beach. Probably not disappointing for the owners though as there were probably about 2,000 tourists so takings of $40,000, not bad fo...
