Day 58- Thur 6th It was another early start this morning as we were up waiting at the greyhound stop by 7.30am.It was only a two hour bus journey to Newcastle where we would be staying for one night. Newcastle was a small town but it was what I would describe as new with a few big developments being built near the wharf. It was quiet as we walked through the streets to the YHA hostel. This hostel was just as nice as the one in the Blue Mountains, it had a really ...

Day 56- Tues 4th We were up and out of our hostel by 7am today to get the Oz Experience bus to the Blue Mountains. We had a nice driver who was also our tour guide. He seemed to be very knowledgeable especially about aboriginal history. Our first stop was at a camping site/clearing that was in the national park.

The receptionist was an absolute nightmare, he was so rude to us even though he had messed...

In the evening we went for wander around Melbourne's theatre land and chinatown. Day 45- Fri 22ndWe took advantage of Mel...

Day 39- Sat 16th We checked out of St Kilda Beach House and went down the road to Oslo Hostel. We hadn't heard good things about this hostel but it had a triple room for the same price as we were paying. Before we could check in we went for a wander down Acland St which had lots of nice shops. We bought some lunch and sat in a local park to have a picnic surround by evil seagulls and pigeons eyeing up our food. We checked in at Oslo, it was a really old fashione...
