Hi all, Am in Byron Bay and having a very chilled few days! Stopped at Coffs Harbour for a few nights, saw a BIIIIG banana (Seriously, it was huge, the weirdest tourist sight I've seen yet) and went on lots of walks! Very tame and my liver has fully recouperated from New Zealand now I think. Has been nice to do very little! Coffs Harbour is really small and there's not a huge amount to do, hired a bike (My arse is STILL hurting, next time I'm going to ask for a ...

Hi All, Last day in Sydney today and I've had a fantastic time. Sydney is an awesome place, there's loads to do and it's the first place I've been to that I really think I could live in. The main reason being the pub closest to my hostel is the New South Wales sponsor of the Manchester United supporters club! Shame about the result yesterday but I'm slowly getting over it...just. Got a mad overnight bus to Sydney, arrived in Canberra at stoopid o'clock in the m...

Hi all, It's my last day in Melbourne today, have been here for a week and half and it's been great.

After a few d...

G'Day! Made it safely to Melbourne though the flight was a bit more bumpy than I would've liked and I was sitting next to a VERY flatulent old lady....Less said about that the better really. Anyway the last few days in Nadi were great until Nicky and Kay DESERTED me! Though they were on their way to the States so I suppose I could let them off. Was very sad to leave them, we'd had a great time since NZ (FACT x) so to keep busy I decided to head to the islands f...

Bula from sunny Fiji! I've just returned from 5 days cruising some islands and it's been FAB! We spent a few days in Nadi to begin with, our resort is right on the beach and the food is great! Only downfall for me was like being little orphan Annie in a 34 bed dorm but I survived! We were treated to Polynesian dancing on our first night which was VERY welcome. Half naked (And very attractive) Fijian men dancing with fire and knives. They also had some women spin...
