Day 1... and so it begins...

If anyone hasn't done it or been here, you can get a fair idea of how big this country is by flying across it. Melbourne to Perth is the shortest route from east coast to west coast of Australia between major cities. Almost 4 hours of flying and still within the same country. Got in my seat...

Melbourne is jolly good mate!

Melbourne 31-5-10 Melbourne is awesome! Out of Brisbane and Sydney, it is my favorite so far. Mind you, I didn’t get to see much of the city in Brisbane, and my allergies were skewing my perception of Australia’s awesomeness. The kids here are so fun, and we’ve became good friends with a...

It's Rainy

Melbourne 28-5-10 Unfortunately, during our time in Sydney, it was rainy and cold. We decided that our chosen path of travel was to go to the Blue Mountains in Katoomba. It was raining so hard- monsoon rains, in higher elevation it was super foggy, so on top of being rainy and cold, you...

Tully.. It's got a boot. Erm... that's it.

We caught the Greyhound Bus to Tully on Saturday afternoon, leaving behind what we would fondly look back on as the buzzing metropolis of Cairns. Despite concerns about the hostel, which had no internet-based review or info, we were pretty positive about getting to a new place, finding jobs and...

to Oz!

After spending one last night at the Bluewater Lodge - where I got somehow managed to get a double room for the price of a dorm, since they'd overbooked - I caught my morning flight to Cairns, via Sydney. Nik would be arriving in Cairns before me, having left the day previously and, I found...

Fraser Island Camping Trip

Brisbane 4-5-10 I spent my first day in Brisbane bopping around town mostly. Jana got me at the airport at 7 am and she had coffee for me, which made me very relieved because it was about 4pm on Monday my time. Needless to say, I am an addict and had a withdrawal headache by this time. It...
