G'day everyone! Just made it back from Exmouth and am currently in Perth but only for one night. Tomorrow, I'll be heading off to Ayers Rock. Haven't updated the blog for a wee while so probably best if I start at the beginning.Upon my return from Albany, I checked into the YHA for one night and it was certainly one of the strangest nights I had for a long time. When I checked in, everything seemed normal but when I came back to the room a mattress was on the f...

Hiya! How is everyone? Hope you are all ok and have survived the snow in recent days/weeks. I can now report that I have got used to Oz, even though I haven't had the wow experience. Anyway, my trip around the southwest has now ended after spending 3 days in Albany. Albany is a 'city' according to Aussie standards or definition but really still is a town. But that is part of its charm. It really is a nice city/town and I enjoyed my time there. I was lucky with ...

This time, my luck wasn't so forthcoming and I had to call upon an offer from Tony (I worked with Tony at Whitecity) that he had made earlier that week that if I ever was in trouble, I should just give him a call. Well, I had to, there were no vacancies anywhere in town. Tony was really cool even though I was ...

G'day everyone! Well, not quite there yet but I thought I just let you know that I have safely arrived in Oz although it was quite an experience. After leaving Thailand, I spent 3 more days in Singapore as I didn't really get the chance to see much last night as I was only there for half a day. So this time, I thought, I do all the sight seeing bits, only to discover that there aren't really any sight seeing bits to do in Singapore!!!! Singapore is not that old...
