The next day we just go to the internet café and apply for lots of jobs in Brisbane with high hopes we will get a job for when we get there, we also book our tickets for the train, do some shopping and watch some movies at the hostel before bed. We get up and sort ourselves out for check out, then we go to the supermarket to get Mattie some passport photos for his ISIC card so we can get cheap train travel, whoo hoo! Then we go to the internet café again a...

We get up early to begin our long 8-9 hour drive to Bourke. We drive past towns that look like the belong in an Australian version of the wild west, all they need are a few tumble weeds. Some towns are literally a township of 7 people and there are hours between each one. It's crazy and hard to comprehend the distance we're covering is equivalent to the length of the UK and not a lot in between. We drive through a small plague of locus and then stop in Nyngen f...

06 May 2009 In the morning Tom takes us to the War memorial and we think we'll have a look around but when we get there we realise there's a massive war museaum attached to it. We decide to hang around for a bit and join a tour so we can learn some stuff but the tour giude goes too fast for Mattie (who likes to take a loooong time in museums) and we can't really understand him so we split off and learn all there is to know about Australia's involvement in numero...

We arrive at 5.30am after not getting much sleep due to the crazy frenchmen. After milling around the airport for a bit we get a bus to the Wood Duck Inn, the first noticeable thing is it's bloody freezing! We check in and sleep, sleep, sleep! We're sharing a room with another couple who are really nice when we finally drag ourselves up we go to the supermarket and make JP, beans and cheese for dinner. We watch a film and then go to bed. We're in Sydney for a few...

23.04.09 Waking up in Kuala Lumpar we head over to the Petronas Towers and get our free tickets to go up to the sky bridge which is on the 41st floor, about 170 meters high I think. We have time to get giant pretzels for breakfast, mmmmmmm! We watch a freaky 3D show before we go up, mostly about the oil company it's self and then a bit about the building. As part of a group we get into the lift that is unbelievably quick and we're at the bridge in about 25 secon...
