What a day! Goodbye cold windy Bluff hello beautiful sunny Queenstown! The drive into Queenstown takes you past stunning Lake Wakatipu, which has beautifully clear water and massive rainbow trout and salmon fish. We stopped off at yet another idyllic deserted pebble beach to enjoy the view J and then continued the journey with the impressive 'Remarkable Mountain Range' towering above us, which is where the snow appears in about 6 weeks time! Queenstown is the ...

As we flew in the peak of Mt Cook covered with snow just poked out perfectly through the clouds then at the end of the Southern Alps the cloud stopped abruptly revealing the Canterbury Plains in all their glory all the way to the coast, saving me a small fortune (too long a...

Here are the basi...

Greetings! Sitting in our chintz-errific motel room in Townsville after a cracking visit to Magnetic Island yesterday/today...... Mode of transport number 1: Greyhound (bus, not the dogs. we couldn't fit our backpacks onto their scrawny backs!). A mammoth 6 hour trip down from Cairns to Townsville. It was actually a pretty nice journey and we both slept loads the only downer was when the driver (in his autumn years bless him) insisted on playing a DVD of Congo ...
