The Final Days of Aus - LIFE IS FULL OF MOMENTS This blog is dedicated to all of you guys and gals I've met, partied with and probably inappropriately touched. When I first came to Australia I had a to do list, a list of essentials that had to be completed whilst in Australia, if you will. Well people the day has come to review that list and work out exactly what I have done. See a kangeroo (x); eat a kangeroo (x); see a koala (x); see the Sydney Opera...

Working Girl And so my first week in Cairns came to an end. I'd racked up 31 hours in Tribal Travel and despite losing $150, things were looking grand.

It does appear that everything purchased in Thailand (including said headphones) has a shelf...

East Coast Adventures Continued: Rain, Dingos and Goon To my relief the east coast has not been the great array of wet tshirt competitions, drunken Brits who think they're in Malia and excessive commercialism that I was expecting. I was also originally quite apprehensive at the thought of doing the majority of the east coast on my own, as many have said its hard to meet people, but I have not found this to be true at all.
