Leaving home again...

Time to leave the safety of the Ivanhoe nest once more.... I'm going to have to do a Deery and go to Canada then Europe, so it should be most excellent, in the words of Bill and Ted. Airports suck, but they're the beginning and the end of so many people's journeys I guess it's hard to think...

Return jaunt, air-sick-bag please

Now, back in Melbourne, it's kinda hard to not feel lucky. Now it could be that I simply feel lucky to be alive because the turbulence on the place was horrific, or it could really be that now I've seen KL three or four times it's finally sunk in how lucky we are here. Stop panicking, I'm...

Introducing Mrs Howson...

On Sat 3rd March Ali & Gaz tied the knot in a small private ceremony at Al's parents home. It was a beautiful small and casual ceremony and was followed by a huge lunch spread put on by the family. Andy and I felt extremely privelleged to have been able to be a part of their day. A perfect blue...

Not The Same Thing

If I get stroppy and miserable because its raining and I'm piss wet through and not in a good way, comments like "But doesn't it rain alot in England?" really don't help. We have these things in England, they're a marvellous invention, they're called Roofs and when it rains we stand under...

Magic Helicopter ride, a cheese factory and Geelong Harbour

Port Campbell is not an easy place to find food in the evening, nor in the morning. We left the hostel at 8am to try and find breakfast and had to settle on the one takeaway that was open. It seems nothing opens in that town til 10am on a Sunday, this is not good for travellers! We headed...

Swaying trees & walkways, a tiny room in a lighthouse, 500 steps to a waterfall & sunset with the apostles

Bek and I got up early and went to play with the Llamas again before we headed off onto the highway again. The male Llamas were a little more 'dominant' than the girls we had visited the night before and Bek and I shared some nervous laughter as the Llamas spat at each other in an attempt to...

An ocean, a road, llamas, a surf lesson & more food than we could eat.....

Friday morning, 4:45am I (Cath) am awoken by my mobile-phone & Bek's voice "Good Morning, I'll be there to pick you up in about 45mins. This was quite a shock as I knew we were going away, but I honestly thought she would be getting me around 8am. A quick trip to Canberra Airport and I was on my...

Back in Sydney, but not for long

We left the rainy season in Cairns and landed into a beautifully sunny Sydney. Unfortunately we were unable to spend any time enjoying the weather as we had a lot of tasks to complete. Amongst other things we; closed our bank accounts, applied for our Australian taxback, bought me (Tim) a book...
