Cloud 9 'Outback Tour' Part 1 On Sunday 18th Jan, we caught our Tiger flight to Alice Springs! Again, no problems and apart from a little turbulence it was a good flight! (Especially for 40quid each!!!)We didn't expect to arrive to dark cloud and 20 degrees temperatures though! Whenever we've checked the weather forecast Alice has always been 40+degrees, so it was a bit of a shock! We had our hoodies on most of the day in the outback, now that's a bit crazy!!!! ...

So during our time in Melbourne we hired a car a took a drive the Great Ocean Road. We drove through towards a place called Geelong and then headed south to Torquay, the start of the road! Only took about 90 mins to get to the start, so its definately worth doing if you're in Melbourne! The weather was good today and our first stop was Bells Beach, the home of Rip Curl and Quicksilver. It is also the home of one of the biggest world surfing competitions which ha...

So on Saturday 10th, in the evening Ains dropped Daz and I at the bus station and we took the 10hr overnight greyhound to Adelaide! Great fun eh…..got a little sleep and arrived into a dead Melbourne at 6am on Sunday morning!Our hostel wasn't too far too walk but because it was so early they couldn't check us in till 2pm……I was so tired at this point I couldn't function and poor hubby had to put up with a very grumpy sleep deprived wife! (well we all have o...

So, we finally set off from Canberra (thank god, we thought we were going to die there!) around 9pm on a pretty uncomfortable greyhound bus (Australia should definitely invest in the sleeper buses like Vietnam, would make sense considering its such a massive country to cover over land!) So we had 17 hrs to kill with about 30 stops before reaching our final destination….they played Wild Hogs movie before dimming the lights and I was outers before the end of the ...

Ok, so on Monday 5th Jan, Daz and I started our treck across NSW to Adelaide, with a few hours stop in the capital city Canberra! Took 4hrs on the Greyhound bus to get there and then we had about 5 hours to kill before our 17hr bus journey to Adelaide (its not all fun in the sun eh?!) When we arrived in temperature must of been in dry high 30's, so so hot! Canberra is a ghost town!!!! No people, no cars (well compared to Sydney) and its really small.....we had ...
