It's been a little while since I last updated from Kalgoorlie. Since my last update I now have a job working in the York hotel on Hannan street behind their bar. The hours are not ideal but the people are friendly and I am earning money instead of just sitting about! A few things have gone on since so I will stuff them all into one entry. Remembrance Sunday came round and this time the 11th actually fell on a Sunday. I chose to go to the service here in Kalgoor...

The journey from Esperance to Kalgoorlie was a long one but I had Tim (who I met in the backpackers in Esperance and went and got shedded with the night before we left) for company on the way up. He's a good laugh and I think it also took the edge off of the fact that my neck was really painful after my bicycle crash the day before. The journey I will admit is not an exciting one, the scenery gets very 'samey' after a while but as we approached Kalgoorlie I was f...

Happy Halloween everyone! Today, I had decided that no matter what the weather was going to do I was going to do the Great Ocean Drive here in Esperance.

Arrived in Esperance after a long bus journey of about 6 hours from Albany to be greeted by...no one. Yep the hostel had forgotten to send someone to pick me up, luckily a local guy who knew the bus driver took me to the hostel since it's a little way out of the town along the esplanade. I think I spent my first night talking to an Irish fella who thinks their house is haunted...I hope he took my laughing at this in good spirits (terrible pun I know). My first ...

Today started off early with the two of us going to get the car from the Perth road. First mistake the company made was letting Lindsay and I have the car, she drives an automatic and this car for some reason had a bit which looked like it was in drive but it wasn't so we're cruising along in 1st gear ruining the engine for a couple of Km before we realised and then got it right! Whoops...no comments on this as I wasn't driving! First stop was at the Whale Muse...
