Ignore the picture for this blog, it has nothing to do with Rockhampton!! We stopped off in Rockhampton as Steve's Godfather lived there. It was just a 2 night stopover following another trip on the Greyhound bus, which was more successful this time!! Rockhampton didn't have a lot to offer to be honest! It was a really sleepy town, so sleepy even the shops were shut on a Saturday! Even all the supermarkets were shut before 4 in the afternoon. They are famou...

Beth and I had a flight from Darwin to Alice Springs and had a 4 hour wait at the airport before catching another flight to Ayers Rock. It was a pretty boring 4 hours! There was nothing to do in that airport at all! As we were flying into Ayers Rock we could see Uluru from the plane. It was pretty awesome. Some people fly through Ayers Rock just to see the rock from the plane and then fly straight out again! We had 4 nights there and we soon realised we had...

We arrived in Cairns following our trip to Ayers Rock and was expecting the weather to still be gorgeous out there but it was quite overcast. It did brighten up for some of the time we were there but we also saw some rain too! The first night Beth and I went to get our free meal provided by the hostel but ended up just having it as a starter and then trailing the streets of Cairns for Domino's pizza as we were still hungry! It was a really tiny meal! Steve ar...

We caught a flight from Singapore to Darwin and arrived in the middle of the night. I was so excited to be going to Australia! I was definitely ready to leave SE Asia. I loved the place but I felt I'd done as much as I wanted to. We spent the first day in Darwin walking around the city. It's a really pretty place. The only problem was that the sun was blazing and there was no shade anywhere in the whole place so it was hard work walking around! We visited ...

First stop in Singapore was a trip to Raflles Hotel! We stopped off for a very expensive Singapore Sling (Beth had a different cocktail cos she doesn't like fruit!!)! It worked out at about $25 for a drink which is ridiculous for a backpackers budget! Never mind, it was worth it! We met up with Kenny and Angelica for a trip to the night safari. Kenny was able to get free tickets through his work as they sponsor some of the animals! They took us out for dinn...
