So. That's it. Australia 2009/10 is over. I survived the deadly snakes, spiders, koalas, dragons, sharks, stingrays, ants with fangs… and what do I have to show for it? Thousands of memories! Horray. Three and a half months have just whizzed by. Well, the final leg was spending ten days in the Melbourne sun watching tennis, saying G'day to Ramsay Street, and going along the Great Ocean Road! Ramsay Street was first. Managed to see the high school, hospital, ou...

So, the Australian Road Trip with Mick and Emily is over. I can't believe they have been over for nearly three weeks, time flies by. We survived in our camper, just about!

So, I have now become of age to the ripe old age of 22. Yes Cat, even numbers again, hooray! Left the Blue Mountains (after doing exciting things like going on a train and cookin...

G'day folks and folkettes, I hope all is well back in England. So, I have reached the end of the road up the coast! Last Monday Robb, Ryan and I rented a car to head up to Cape Tribulation ourselves. We are slightly sick of being toured around now. All we ever get told about is the animals that can kill. 'Animals that can kill?
