Hey everyone!
Well I've tried a million times to put photos up and it keeps crashing, so you'll have to wait for them and make do with a blog entry instead!
So, after Noosa I moved on to Brisbane where I spent a few days. The main activities there were the Warner Brothers Movie World theme park which was a-mazing, and then I also did a tour of the XXXX Brewery where I got a free drink. Can't complain at that!
After Brisbane I moved down to Surfer's Paradise where I only spent a day, lying on the beach and shopping in the town centre. It's a hard life all this travelling malarky! I then moved to Byron Bay where I again only spent one day. I would have stayed longer but there was a big festival there at the weekend coming, and so the town was getting very busy and hostel prices were put right up, so I just looked around the town and spent some time at the beach before grabbing a night bus to Sydney.
Sydney was pretty awesome. I met up with the Irish girl that I met back in LA which was really good, and also met up with the guys from Fraser Island again which was cool. Did all the usual things like check out the Opera House and obviously I took a trip to Palm Beach to see Summer Bay in real life. And I was lucky because they were actually filming a scene whilst I was there which was pretty cool! I also went on a ghost walk around The Rocks (which is a little village kind of place in Sydney) one evening which was good fun, alas, I did not see any ghosts. Although I'm kind of glad about that because I think I would have been pretty scared if I had seen one! I also took a day trip to the Blue Mountains which were beautiful, and I hitched a ride on the steepest train in the world!
For one reason or another I ended up staying in Sydney for a week, 2 nights longer than I planned, but I loved every minute of it so that was ok! So I then moved to Melbourne where I am now. Again, met up with the Irish Girl I met in New Zealand. She's renting a room in a house here so scored myself some free accomodation before I fly out to Singapore tomorrow. Around here I've just really seen all the sites, and today I took the Neighbours tour and saw Ramsay Street. I also met Karl Kennedy, got a signed CD from him, and tonight I am off to the Neighbours night which is basically a big Neighbours pub quiz! So I'm looking forward to that.
So the next stop is Singapore, before I head off travelling around South East Asia for two months. I can't believe that I am literally half way through my trip already! Time is flying by too quickly for my liking!
New Zealand and Australia have been wonderful and I've met some great people, but I'm very much looking forward to Asia and experiencing something different. However scary that may be!
Keep in touch all, and I'll hopefully get the rest of my Oz photos up in the next few days!

Auntie Ann Good to hear you are still enjoying yourself and obviously meeting some nice people. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Singapore - Uncle Terry was there 50 years ago but he says it would be too hot and sticky for me. Take care and enjoy yourself.
