A Handsome Man, Schmetterling, Bula and Power Naps I really didn't want to leave Australia. I felt so comfortable in Cairns, living in the Woodduck and having so much fun. But of course all good things must come to an end. My last full day in Cairns was spent shopping for koala-related souvenirs (honestl I think I'm obsessed!), eating Dominos pizza, relaxing by the lagoon (yes after so many days of rain, sun had returned to Cairns just as I was off) and huntin...

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...

Having once again met a group of friends, found a sunny place to park my arse ny day and pour cheap drink down my neck by night, I really was happy as larry and it was hard to find the energy to leave. I'd found an existance where I was living on two-minute noodles in various flavours, Cole's Smartbuy (tesco value equi...

My final day in Rainbow Beach was of course spent basking in the sunshine on the beach. I got on the bus at 7pm to Town of 1770 (so named because Captain Cook landed there in that year). Unfortunately one of my headphones had decided to break so I had my iPod in one ear and Oz Night on the local radio in the other ear... There's only so much Savage Garden a girl can take. It does appear that everything purchased in Thailand (including said headphones) has a shelf...
