Here I am in Sydney, on the morning of of my flight to South America. Just thought I better give a quick update before I leave Australia, I won't have time for all the adventures of the last month, but I'll try my best and tell the rest in flash-back. My first blog of 2011... My time in Melbourne was pretty legendary. I loved the city, it's much more spacious then Sydney and has a really unique vibe and atmosphere. Fell in love with it immdiately and still missi...

I'M IN MELBOURNE! So the day I left New Zealand was a very sad one. Those poor families in Greymouth who lost their loved ones in the mining explosion. It was a very subdued atmosphere that day.

I'm in Newcastle! No, not that Newcastle... Newcastle NSW!Firstly, my apologies for the gap since the last blog. Geographically I have travelled nearly 1000km since I lasted posted, which makes me feel very bad. My only excuses are that the internet here in super-expensive and I have been having a bit too much fun to be sitting inside typing away... but here it is!
