Greetings Friday was a long day, after we crossed the border we drove for hours through a forested mountain area with very few stops and not much change in the scenery, in fact we hardly saw another car all day. We crossed the NSW-Victoria border just after lunch so we had a fair few miles to cover before reaching tourist area's. As soon as we crossed the border the air temperature dropped too, it was pretty strange but we went from shorts to trousers and jump...

Hey All On Monday morning we went for a drive around Byron Bay, a pretty little town surrounded by beautiful coastlines. We hit the road after visiting Cape Byron and the lighthouse there and headed along the coastal road to a pretty beach deserted called Emerald bay. We had a drive around Coffs Harbour before heading to Nambucca Heads in search of a campsite; everywhere was full though so we drove further along the coast to South West Rocks. On the hunt for a...

It wasn't what Hol wanted to hear at 6am but the kind man realised it wasn't totally our fault and made a phone call to Oz. A few ...

Hey All We arrived in Singapore on Tuesday after a relatively painless flight from Kuala Lumpur. We jumped on the very efficient MRT (underground) system and arrived at our hotel with no problems at all. It was really hot and even the short walk from the station left us very sticky. After a nice shower and change of clothes we headed out for a bit of an explore around the locality, grabbed some food and then went back to our hotel. On Wednesday we woke up ear...
