Sydney on the whole was largely unimpressive.. we visited the city centre, went to the harbour and got the standard opera house and bridge photos but the city itself didn't really feel like much was going on. We ended up following the happy hour deals along the harbour, bar to bar. But the place felt way too corporate for me. Now Bondi where we stayed along the coast was busier with more going on, more backpackers and more of a drinking scene. The temperature was...

Queenstown kinda reminds of Chang Mai in northern Thailand. A busy hidden away little town with plenty of activities to do. We took a gondola lift through a cut passage through the trees to the top. 1.5km with an almost vertical angle. At the top we payed for luge go carting. A non motored go cart purely working on gravity as you come meandering down the cliff side through tunnels and sharp corners. Got a bit confident by the third go and almost tipped the car...

Giving some stunning views with the reflection from the lakes! However clear sky's...

The hostel was called Jucy which was also the biggest campervan hire company in NZ... They happened to have a free shuttle bus to the van depo.. so we naturally hopped on... after spending an hour of waiting, the shuttle journey and waiting in line it was our turn... handed him the...

The Great Ocean Road was a beautiful drive and stretch of the coast, long meandering roads with stunning views would've been perfect on a motorbike, or even my road bike if I had a week to do it. I Had imagined the drives we took along the west coast with mind numming straight roads but this was nothing like that. They say Melbourne can have all four seasons in one day, which is true. Well the great ocean road had just as much variety of landscape. Parts remin...
