Just when I think life really can't get any better, we only go and rock up at the site where Peter Andre filmed Mysterious Girl! The Aussies apologised and found it all quite embarrassing, however, we'd already whipped off our clothes and started splashing around in the waterfall and singing all the lyrics, ah, took us right back to 1996!So Cairns has been very busy. We went on a tour of the Atherton Table lands where we spent the most fun day of our live...

Now, I don't like camping. Camping in slight drizzle I can almost cope with. Camping in torrential rain in the middle of the desert in a supposed drought, does not make for a happy Smith. It could only happen to us. Our three day camping trip to see Uluru (Ayers Rock) and surrounding area was somewhat marred by the tail end of a monsoon.

What a charming man. Everyone was very coy getting pictures and autographs, however, I couldn't help my...

Well we are back on the road again now. Back to hostels, sharing bathrooms and generally being dirty stinking backpackers.My last week in Sydney was great. We went to see the Mardi Gras Festival (big gay carnival). It was colourful and vibrant although it did, ah hem, 'drag' on a little. I was also taken to a lovely restaurant with a huge balcony overlooking harbour bridge. The ambiance was lovely and I turned and remarked on the view from the other side ...
