Date: 16th August 2011 Place: Katherine Weather: Sunny and hot! Didn't feel too bad after having slept through completely. There wasn't too long to wait until we got into Katherine when we would have a couple of hours break looking around the town. When I got onto the city shuttle Nicole and Charlotte (the girls I swapped seats with) were on there and we started talking the normal travel talk. They said I could stick with them because none of us knew wh...

Date: 15th August 2011 Place: Alice Springs Weather: Sunny Set my alarm for 8am ready to get some free breakfast. After we had had that we went back to bed.

There isn't much to do in Alice Springs that you don't have to pay a fortune for and since Ive already ridden camels and quad bikes I...

Date: 11th August 2011 Place: Cairns Weather: Sunny We had to get up early again today! I just want a lie in for once! Laura caught her bus to Cape Tribulation so we had to say goodbye. Im thinking I may go to visit her next year after I go to the Netherlands to see the guys. I got my bus to the airport and then had to sit there for ages doing nothing, I think I went a little too early! I happened to bump into Sianne though who was just coming out of th...
