Bonjour! Having been in Margaret River for two weeks and camping in what can only be described as a French colony (lots of French people come to Oz to pick fruit apparently), it was a relief to get back on the road. Fuz and I worked for the majority of the two weeks at a wine bottling plant on night shift (back breaking, tedious, extremely low paid and far from fun) and in the mornings at a vineyard picking grapes (think of us the next time you are tucking into y...

G'day again! Hope everyone is well on the other side of the world! After leaving Monkey Mia we continued to head down to Perth, stopping in at Kalbarri and Geraldton on the way. We had a couple of nights at Kalbarrie and it had a really nice friendly feel about it. The drinking water there was lovely which was a welcome surprise from the chlorine loaded stuff we had been forced to drink for the previous two weeks. We had a couple of leisurely days there and the h...

G,day from Western Australia! Still having a fab time, unfortunately got less two months in Oz. Since our last update,we have been non stop, trying to fit in as muuch as possible. Our van eventually got fixed, after 9 days in Nyngan. The heat became unbearable for us there, with temperatures reaching 45 and only dropping to about 30-35 at night. We were in our tent, so you can imagine how much sleep there was between us in those 9 days. The evening before we left...

G,day from the outback! Fuz and I set off for the next leg of our travels on Saturday the 6th January and came to a sudden halt on Saturday 6th of January! We only managed to get 600km away from Sydney when van completely seized up, made a bit of a racket and stopped dead at the side of the road. We had literally just passed the welcome sign for the town of Nyngan, which is on the southern edge of the middle of nowhere. I don't think we could have been any lu...

Hi folks! Hope everyone is well and truly recovered. I bet hogmanay is a distant memory now. We had an excellent time over the festive, especially as we were able to spend it with good mates. After our tour up the coast with Scott and Sus, it was back to Manly (and the torrential rain!) for the rest of the festive. It was a bit touch and go with the weather for Christmas day, but by the afternoon it was glorious and we were all baking in the sunshine. We all open...
