I'm in New Zealand! It's 3am, I went to bed at 8pm and I have to be up at 6am but the whole building is shaking with music so I might as well get up and write about my last couple of days in Australia before I'm swept away on the Kiwi Experience bus where all nights are apparenlty dedicated to killing my liver, if there's anything left! So, I wasn't exactly blown away by Australian cities so far on my trip. They all just seem too new or something; no interesting...

My last activity in the Northern Territory was another three day camping trip, this time to Kakadu and Litchfield national parks. Kakadu is the size of Switzerland and has lots of rock art and waterfalls and crocodiles in it. Litchfield also has a lot of waterfalls. My bikini's hardly had a chance to dry over the last few weeks with all the wild swimming I've been doing, but this time it had that extra fun factor in the fact that a big croc might jump out and eat...

And what's more unusual than a really big rock in the middle of nowhere? Exactly. Ayres rock is both a cultural and natural heritage site, so I got to get my geek on and learn all about geology and aboriginal mythology and all that shiz. Plus the rock was indeed really really...

Last week or so has been pretty hectic, soo many day trips, so little time to write about them all! I flew to Alice Springs today where I'll start the ayres rock tour, and it is so cold here, definitely missing the sun on the east coast! So after Airlie I headed up to Magnetic island, where it seemed like everyone I'd met travelling so far all turned up at once. The girls I'd met on the Oz bus in Byron were there, as well as the guys I was in Kroombit with, th...
