Well well well, what a week it's been! To say up and down is a slight understatement, but things are picking up now, and i'll tell you all about it in just a second. So I got to sydney on saturday morning, wow, it's a big place, but i loved it immediately, it's like a dream. I guess everytime I envisioned Australia, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge were part of that vision, so to see them in front of me, well, it was a special moment I guess. I met up with a ...

Hey everyone! I've just arrived in Sydney after a 13 hour bus trip, that wasn't too bad- although had raging tooth ache for a few hours that was just horrible (I'm beginning to think real teeth are over-rated with the trouble i've had since I got here!) But i'm so excited to be here! I met up with a girl who I met in Airlie Beach, Claire from Portsmouth and we're staying at the same hostel. As far as hostels go this one seems very big but very nice.

Hey guys! Well as I write, i am now in Bryon Bay, staying at the hippiest place I have possibly ever seen, but will come back to that later.

The building itself is a big, looming gothic building on Hooker Boulevard (yes i know) and every night it puts on a show, aimed at adults because the content is very risque...

Greetings from the Gold Coast! Since Monday I have been living the life of luxury at Sue's house. When I was about 15 I went to a dance school and Sue's daughter, Stephanie also went there. By pure coincidence, 5 minutes before I boarded the plane from SIngapore to Darwin I checked my facebook to find a message from Sue saying she was living near Brisbane. Well, I stopped by for a few nights, and am staying here for over a week! Sue and her husband Barry live...

Hey everyone! I am in Brisbane at the moment, have been here for 3 days and as ever have lots to say, but might run out of time again! (I've now finished the fraser island blog) Ok well first of all, for those who don't know I have changed my route home. I haven't been happy with it since I booked it- I couldn't get a decent flight to Fiji, and to cut a very long story short, i didn't want to do a day and a half there, then have a 20 hour flight home. So i went ...
