Hollywood on the Gold Coast

Well we made it to Kids Heaven and are staying at a Caravan park close to Movie World. We went to Moveworld yesterday and are off to Dreamworld tomorrow with a rest day in between. It was great and Riley went on all the scary rides and he was smiling in between screaming. Caitlin rode her...

Melbourne Madness

After a sad farewell to Sydney, we made our way to Melbourne. All I can say about the trip is don't go out of your way to fly JetStar. Yeah, they are a "discount" airline, but the amount you pay upfront covers very little. We found out when we got to the airport with our normally allotted two...

The Brit's Mistake

This post has nothing to do with PM Blair . . . I can't believe the Brit's sent their convicts to Australia hundreds of years ago and stayed on their miserably rainy, cold and small island. I'm pretty sure they made the biggest mistake of their empire's existance by not keeping their convicts...

West Coast Mission: Day 19

This is the first sign you see as you enter Broome. Oh what, like they couldn't have told us this sooner? Like at the last fucking bottle shop maybe?!

West Coast Mission: Day 18

Despite the copious amounts of sleep I got, leaving Karratha proved more difficult that expected on account of the minor car accident I was involved in. It was my fault, I pulled out when I shouldn't have, I didn't see the girl's car because I couldn't see out of my back window on account of...

West Coast Mission: Day 17

Today was cool, we got to relax as Julie and her fella took us out in their troopy and gave us a guided tour of Karratha, Dampier and Cossack, The Pilbarra's first town which is now abandoned. It was nice just to kick back and let some one else decide where to go. Julie just kept on...

West Coast Mission: Day 16

Wittenoom is officially abandoned on account of the "asbestos fibres prevalent in the air." I say officially abandoned, try telling that to the 25 people who still live there, firmly denying that the mining of blue asbestos in years gone by would pose any threat to them or tourists. My fold out...

The Princess' Birthday

Well the day has eventually come. We stayed overnight at an oval (actually a concrete cricket pitch, heaps of dust, toilets and lots of Horse manure) at a place called Weengallon on our way to Goondiwindi. We woke early and wore our 'brats' party hats for breakfast and sang happy birthday. ...

Men at Work were right...

This place is awesome! Although it is so expensive in Sydney that my three month trip is now only two weeks, it is totally worth it. After a few days here, we’ve been to the Blue Mountains with Jocelyn's family (going again this weekend), hung out downtown by the opera house and botanical...

Ingle

We are now surfing the net at the Inglewood Library, they have proved a great resource and while I type away Glenn reads to Caitlin, Caitlin reads to Glenn and Riley nags me for the internet so that he can use up some of my time at my expense. We have recovered from Goodiwindi by travelling a...
