Hey y'all! We have just arrived in Darwin. We got here safe and sound and earlier than expected so we still have a few days to decide what to do with the car up here. The road trip up has been really fun and we have stopped at many towns and parks. The only downside is that a couple of days ago our boot stopped closing on the car! For a while we managed to footer about enough with it to get it closed but then all of a sudden it just wouldn't stay shut at all...

We tried to book our train to Darwin to leave tomorrow as planned and there are no available seats until the 29th August (we leave Oz on the 25th!!)

Whilst we were still in Melbourne we took a day trip to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat which is an old gold town where everything is themed to fit in with the Gold Rush Era. It was a really good day. We got to go down into the mi...

Hey people! Today is our very last day in Melbourne :0( I have really enjoyed it here and wish we had more time ... but can't wait to get to Alice Springs aswell though! I think Christine is dying to get out of here now as she has been here a week longer than us and is still trying to save pennies in anyway she can!! We have done lots since I last wrote - the first thing was the Neighbours tour! You know I said that the Neighbours night was brillian...
