Hi everyone, Well as i was umming and rrring about in my last postcard, i did decide to move on after all. Colin (from my hostel in Sydney) and I hired a campervan to spend the week driving up coast, stopping at various places along the way. The first place was Port Stevens, very small, very quiet, very empty, but very nice. It made a nice change to the hustle n bustle of city life in Sydney. The next day I drove!!!!!

It's still cold but in a refreshing way, been breathing in lots of fresh air. T...

Hello everyone!!! I'm in Wellington at the moment so have come to the end of touring the North Island. I flew into Auckland and as it was absolutley chucking it down i decided to leave the next day. I went up to a place called Pahia in the Bay of Islands where the weather is always nice.
