The final get up was a struggle, and as we headed towards Kings Canyon we did feel as if we were flagging a bit and definately looking forward to a sleep in a proper bed and a get up later than 4am! We did the 3 hour walk round the canyon and it really was brilliant - some of the scenery and formations within the canyon were awesome and what made it even better was the relative lack of flies! After wearily taking our walking boots off for the last time ...

Waking up in Coober Pedy so early on Friday morning it was actually relatively cool, and we got on our way quickly to start eating up the 800km we had to cover today. We did get treated to our first outback sunrise shortly in to the drive and we pulled over and got out to look back down the seemingly endless road that seemed to lead straight to the sun itself (although there was an ulterior motive to the stop - Hutch was desperate for the loo and had to persuade...

We have had a lot of unsociable get ups whilst we have been in Australasia, but the 530am alarm on Wednesday morning to make our pick up for the 6 day trip to Alice Springs was pretty much the worst one so far, and it was only gonna get earlier over the next few mornings!If we were feeling a little bit tired and quiet, we were in a damn better mood than our driver who spent the whole morning stomping around huffing and puffing - maybe he was upset at having to dr...

On Friday morning we had an early get up as we got picked up by the Groovy Grape bus to finally start our Great Ocean Road trip, over a month after we had first tried to do it! Our driver Lorenzo was clearly a little bit worse for wear from the previous night as he was first half an hour late, kept slurring his words whenever he talked to us and didn't exactly drive in a straight line for the first few hours!We stopped at Surf City for a little bit, which had all...
