Finally after 22days of storms followed by 30degree heat and around 3000 Km we ditched our beloved campervan in Cairns. Arriving on the Friday our lives changed from rags to riches....we had arranged to meet up with a family friend who owned a brewery and restaurant in Cairns. After booking into our hostel we headed to the brewery (Blue Sky Brewery) which turned out to be in the center of town to meet Ben, the place was amazing and Ben immediately hooked us up wi...

Sydney to Cairns It was a short stop in Sydney but enough to see whats required. Now it was time to hit the open road and see the real care-free Australia away from the shirts and tie's of Sydney. We had 22days and 3000 odd Km to cover in order to reach the finishing line at Cairns, for this challenge I had chosen the cheapest campervan after much searching. As with New Zealand our renting luck was with us and as we turned up at the rental depot(All Seasons) im...

All the districts in Sydney have names of their British counterparts, we stayed in 'Kings Cross' which had some similarities to that back home, some...

The lake is famous for the reflection of the green and snowcapped mountains in its waters. We rocked up at a large hostel called the 'Purple Cow' and enjoyed a stunning view from the terrace over the lake. More importantly we both had a calling, and that was from the world famous adrena...

Kaikoura -> Foz Glaciers So off we went, one Czech girl, an already lost English guy and our hopefully trusty little Nissan! What adventures lay ahead of us we didnt know. Christchurch sits on the middle of the east coast and we had a rough plan to do a circle around the south island heading north. The roads take you through untouched mountains and fields full of every animal you could ever wish to see on your plate, even lamas!?!! After hours of greenery we...
