Hi Everyone! We arrived in Christchurch and couldn't believe we had arrived at our last stop before returning! After Rich losing his wallet on the bus (then thankfully finding it again) we checked into a really nice hostel run by a couple from England. We spent a few days gathering our thoughts after our whirlwind tour of the East Coast of Australia and pondered whether to rent or buy a camper van. We decided to rent one and so far so good!

We had a nightmare flight from Denpasar airport in Bali - we flew to Darwin arriving at 4am, then had a connecting flight at 7am to Alice Springs which is right smack bang in the middle of Australia.

We really wanted to get to a long house for the Gawai festival (1st June). We met up with a German couple and 3 ladies from New York and went with a Chinese guide to 2 longhouses. The first longhouse was quite modern. The second longhouse we went to was a traditional wooden long hous...
