Time for our first special Aussie trip! Loaded up with our boxes of beers and ciders, and a few clothes shoved into the bags that had been provided, we walked from Airlie Beach around the coast to South Marina, Abel Point. There we met Elliott, the deck hand on our boat, Silent Night, along with the rest of the group. Elliot was a typical Aussie, very laid back and a good laugh. When people say they went on holiday, quit their jobs and just didn't go back - h...

Sunday 22nd March 2015 marked 7 years together for us. What better way to spend it than diving on the Great Barrier Reef? We were up and down to the harbour by 7am ready for our dives. It took two hours to arrive at Moore Reef, our first diving spot. Unfortunately, the dive wasn't as great as we anticipated. As Cyclone Nathan hadn't long passed, the visibility was no more than 5 metres and it had disturbed the sea life. We were definitely spoilt with our di...

He's a Toyota seven seater that has been converted with a double bed in the back, some storage space underneath the bed, and a little fridge. He also came with a few portable gas hobs and utensils so that Max can 'cook up a storm' (one of his fav phrases...

Hey from 'Melbun' (yes we've been corrected on the pronunciation a few times)! We're still trying to get out of the habit of throwing loo roll in the bathroom bin - South-East Asia habits die hard. On day 1 we arrived at our hotel in the city just after lunch and went out exploring. Our first stop was Federation Square opposite Flinders Street Station. The atmosphere around the square was pretty electric as the sun was shining and there was a big screen showi...

Good'ay mate! How're ya going? Yesterday we had 3 flights in one day from Singapore to Melbourne, Melbourne to Adelaide, and Adelaide to Port Lincoln. It was pretty tiring and Steph managed to fall asleep at 2 airports. Port Lincoln has a very American feel to it with spacious roads, big cars and no flats; everyone seems to know everyone. It is the seafood capital of Australia, farming the biggest and most expensive blue fin tuna in the world and shipping ...
