Well, were finally here, Australia - the last country of our trip :-( Where has the time gone?After a 5 hour plane journey from Singapore we arrived at Darwin airport at 5am. It took another hour to get passed the sniffer dogs, immigration, police questioning (how long you staying? what are your plans? etc) and quarintine.....They even check if you have mud on your shoes!!!We'd heard that theyre strict here, but didn't realise it was to that scale!!But we got thr...

We walked through the massive market and stumbled across a bar called the Reggae Bar. We bumped into Tom (the guy who we met on the night boat from Koh Tao) an...

We agreed to meet Jochen at 10am to go for breakfast as the bus left at 10.45. Me & Beth had an Indian breakfast, Roti Banana (just like a banana pancake really) and coffee to wake us up... After breakfast we went to wait for the bus and after 30mins we was informed it was going to be an hour late... Eventually it arrived and we began the 3 hour journey to the Cameron Highlands. The Highlands were named after William Cameron, a British colonial government ...
