Ok…so last time I blogged I said I would write again in a week or so…well if turned into two weeks or so. Travelled 1681km since I last blogged so have a lot to tell you people! After Cairns made my way to Townsville and jumped straight onto a ferry to Magnetic Island. I thought this island would be paradise and with the right weather I am sure it is but I was a little disappointed. The weather was pretty much overcast for the entire three days I was ther...

Arrived Cairns and bang straight into the tropical heat! You know that feeling when you get off the plane and you can feel the heat even though it is the middle of the night and you feel like you are finally on holiday? Well that’s how it felt to be in Cairns and that is the sort of atmosphere here. I really love Cairns – such a great place and so many activities to see and do here. I stayed in a 7star hotel for 2 nights over my birthday with a friend whi...

After Adelaide I joined a 2 days tour to Alice Spring via Cooper Pedy. Essentially this was just a transport tour to get from A to B. We covered about 850km the first day and around 700km the 2nd day so there was a lot of driving to get to Alice Springs. On the way we stayed overnight in Cooper Pedy where around 90% of the world’s opal is mined and because of the high temperatures people in this area have adapted to living underground. We went on a mine tou...

Ok well I have now left Perth. Enjoyed my last week visiting a few places I had missed and saying goodbye to all the friends I had made there including Megan, Brad, Casey and the Brandish Family. Also went back for high tea again at the C restaurant. Can't remember if I mentioned this but I went there when Danielle came to visit. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed and so complained (like my mother would!) as it had cost quite a bit but the service was bad, food wa...

Well the last time I blogged I was awaiting Danielle arrival from the UK and were heading on bit of a road trip. Danielle arrived safely but took about 5 days to get over the jet lag which after a 22 hour flight is pretty understandable. Within her first few days I had taken her to a zumba class and made her walk 11km in the heat…and she thought she was coming for a holiday! After a few days of doing city/tourist type things we then picked up our car and headed...
