Hiya everyone! It's a beautiful sunny day in Melbourne, still quite cold but nice and sunny. And this is winter! Just thought I give you a quick update on what is happening. Today is my last full day in Melbourne as I am booked on a flight to Cairns tomorrow afternoon. Yep, you are right, this wasn't part of the original plan but my original plan didn't work out so I had to change it. And then from Cairns it's all the way down to Sydney and then on to Canberra ...

Hey everyone! How have you been? I have to confess that I have had the first cold since leaving the UK last year in November but as I am not a 'man' I survived easily with just a few Lemsips! The only bad thing about the cold was the timing. It just started when I was leaving Adelaide on my 3 day trip along the Great Ocean Road. But more about that later. First things first.

Hi everyone, you haven't had an update for a long time so I thought I better make the effort and update my blog.

You sort of tend to meet people and get chatting, so time passed by quite quickly. Lights were turned off at 10pm so we all went to sleep, well tried to, as best as you can sleep when you o...

It's me again! But in order to track my trip on the map, I thought it would be good to add another short blog from Alice Springs. I arrived in Alice Springs at midnight, after a 460km journey from Ayers Rock. There tends to be a lot of wildlife on the road at night, like cows, camels and kangaroos. Unfortunately, kangaroos seem to be a bit suicidal around here and two just run into our bus! It just makes a little 'thump' and that's pretty much it. Rather the r...
