Wednesday 25th March - Day 1 Arrived in Darwin at 4.30pm after a good flight from Melbourne, the Frontier hotel where we would be spending the first two nights was really nice, and the first night I was sharing a room with a girl called Natasha. Just had the room service for tea the first night with four other girls from the tour, - Michelle, Linda, Tasha and Megan. We were up early the next morning to start our first day of the tour. There were so many people o...

Just thought I'd write a quick blog entry to accompany the new photo's.

Was a really good match especially as it was an Australian player. The cr...

The house was quite run down and old, and there were 10 girls living in it, 4 in one room and 3 in t...

Arrived in Melbourne at 7am this morning, bus ride went quick even though I felt I got hardly any sleep at all! Couldn't check into the YHA Metro until 12noon so we put our luggage in some lockers and went into the city for a gander. First impressions of Melbourne are that it's very chilled out, kind of reminds me of an old Western town for some reason. So much quieter and laid back than Sydney! Really nice though. We went for breakfast at a little cafe where I h...
