Hello again! Been very busy since I last wrote! After australia day in sydney I headed back to adelaide to start a tour right into the outback. It took us up into the northern territory, a lot of time on the bus because we had so far to go and there isn't much in between apart from miles and miles and miles of desert! We stayed over night in a place called coober pedy, which is a big opal mining place where they live in 'dug outs' (houses dug into the rocks and ...

First day of the tour was a bit wet and cold, but we went into the grampians where we trekked through the forest and came to the 'mackenzie...

I like Adelaide! It is a quiet city and not huge amounts to do around the town but If you have a friend that lives there - or just a car to venture further out there is lots of lovely beaches and hilly scenery to see and nice places to go!
