We arrived in Perth after a long 4 hour flight from Adelaide to a sniffer dog, who slobbered all over our bags. The shuttle bus stands were all deserted so we got in a taxi with some dodgy driver who tried to sell us a car. On arrival at the hostel, he then got pulled over by the cops for doing a u-turn! He didn't have a driving licence on him and it sounded quite dodgy! The hostel wasn't the nicest or friendliest - there were loud trains right outside our window...

We spent our first full day in Adelaide walking around the city centre, shops and botanical gardens, which was all good and nice. The weather was kind to us too and I enjoyed a nice sparkling coopers ale sitting outside at The Exeter. We then caught up on some much needed washing at the hostel and played table tennis for a while waiting for it to finish. The hostel was nice and you even got free tea/coffee and pancakes in the morning. In the evening we had a meal...

G'day from Adelaide! The last few days we have driven along the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne, driven up to Grampians National Park and then through to Adelaide. That's almost 2000km we have driven in the past week! We left Melbourne around 9am and started with a tiring drive on a 50km limit 4-lane motorway. That was after I got used to the automatic car with super-humanly powerful brakes. After a few neck jolts and accidental horn bashes, we finally arri...

G'day from Tasmania! Before I get onto Tasmania, I'll just quickly catch up from where our last blog finished… We liked St Kilda and had a nice relaxing time there. We walked around the market, I bought a top from one of the nice shops and we generally didn't do much but enjoy the quirky suburb. The last night we had a free barbeque at the hostel and we played free table tennis (Lisa's quite good) and I also played free pool. I stayed out with the people ...

We have now arrived in St Kilda after 2 lovely days at Wilsons Promontory National Park. We left Melbourne Thursday morning and drove to Wilsons Promontory - on arrival there was nobody there to pay so we got in for free. On the 27km drive through the park to Tidal River, Lisa saw the first kangaroo of the day - although it was road kill - and we arrived around 1pm in time for lunch. Having fought off some hungry birds (the red ones in our pictures), we set off o...
