Hi all, Last few hous in Australia now and it's safe to say I've LOVED it. Have seen and done loads and met some really cool people. I think I'm ready for somewhere new now though as my budget has been DESTROYED over here! Looking forward to getting in to Asia now and spending a bit less! Had a pretty chilled few days after Uluru. Travelled overnight up to Darwin and have been dodging tropical rainstorms since I got here! Darwin is very green and lush, not what...

Hi All, Can't believe I'm down to my last 4 days in Oz and it's been great! Had the penultimate epic bus journey from Cairns the other night. Spent about 33 hours on the bus, hopping off and changing onto another bus at 3AM (Was VERY cranky about that) but made it safely to Alice Springs at 9:30 in the morning. I'd booked a 3 day camping tour to Uluru which was leaving at stoopid o'clock the next morning so had a really chilled day reading and attempting to su...

Went on a wildlife presentation this morning where I got to hold a croc (But just a baby one) red tailed black cockatoo, a koala (So cute it's not true), and a snake who tried to strangle me! The hostel I'mstaying at is also a wildlife reserve so it's all on site which is great! They have possums and wo...

Hi! Have had a fantastic few days on the farm! Managed to stay awake till 6:30 and then got picked up and taken to Myella Farm. It's a working beef farm but I think the main income is now farmstays for tourists and travellers. The weather was glorious but to do any activities we had to wear jeans, long sleeved shirts and boots which made it a VERY sweaty few days! The first day we arrived around 8AM and the first activity was horse riding. I've only done this ...
