Checked out of our hostel in Manly and made our way to Geordie land - Newcastle of course - along the way we passed- Stockton, Hexham,Wallsend, Jesmond and Gateshead- I thought we'd got on the wrong bus back to the UK! Wasn't really impressed with Newcastle but only had 2 nights there- weather wasnt that great either. I went for a 2 hour walk along the cliffs to the next few beaches and back while Charlotte sat on the beach relaxing before retreating to ...

Checked out our accomodation just at the bottom of the prime ministers residence in Kirribilli (otherside of harbour bridge to the opera house). Quick change as we were having our first night out on the tiles in Sydney- met up with Claire and Nick from our West Coast trip and one of their mates Tatem. The night ended in the early hours of the morning in Scruffy Murphys (Hang on a se...

Spent most of day walking and rushing back to dip in the...

The trip was basically 5 nights in hostels and then 3 nights in SWAGS (like a bivva bag for those ex boy scouts) which were basically a sleeping bag and a matress for those who weren't. No tent to protect us from the bugs. First day we met our group and hit the road to Kalbarri where we stopped at the Pinnacles dessert which was a bit eery an...
