One crazy Oz Experience organised stop at a Cattle Station a little way away from the East Coast and into the Outback.Learnt to fire a shotgun in all the wrong directions. Lucy, however, was a complete pro and managed to hit four out of five of our targets! I won't be arguing with her over the grocery shopping ever again. Also had the opportunity to jump on some poor goat and milk it for dear life, which I politely declined. I don't think the goat was hav...

What an awesome weekend! Crashed around on Fraser Island in a 4WD full of other travellers for three full days. There were 8 of us altogether; Matt came up from Surfer's to meet us again and we were put in a vehicle with 3 French guys named Mohammed, Remy and Laurent, a Manchester lass called Michelle and another English guy called Matt.

The weather was lovely today, which may have helped, too and we strolled around the city and along the river; spending most of the day on the Southbank. Here we found 'Streets Beach'' a ma...

Greetings from the Gold Coast!Surfers' Paradise has been sunny and tacky and lots of fun. We have spent the last few days with Holly and Sarah; lying on the beach by day and partying by night! It's been really cool to meet up with them...what a small world indeed!We stayed at the school with Matt for three or four days and he took us to see things when he wasn't working. Our very own personal guide to Surfers'! We all shot up the Q1 tower in a ver...
