Yes its true. My days in this giant landmass are finally ending. We had a few extra days in the city of darwin...which for the joe's should maybe ring a bell....as it was an important city in WW2. It was bombed several times trying to fend off the asian menace.... But anyway...we have made the best of this time. For the first time in my tender life...I have partaken in a Free Beach....which you may know as a nude beach. Lara had done this in Brazil and I needed to even the scales, so we went. The name free beach is [View Full Entry]

ah shucks...i truley wish i could be in several places at once. Cause there is no question i would love to attend the float trip even though i am surrounded by deep sea diving and outback safari's. If another one happens towards the end of august i am game. Anywho, i am back from yet another outback adventure. This time we were in the tropical Top End of australia in some of the largest national parks called kakadu and litchfield. These are full of wildlife and climate change. Some of the main features of the trip were relaxing in some waterfalls [View Full Entry]

elo all The more days of adventure have passed in the outback. This segment was mainly a transport type trip from the middle of australia to the top end. Being that it was a long trip we were put into a big comfortable bus with lots of people from all over the world. The most interesting combination of people we had were some israeli soldiers and some u.s. navy and air force men. At one point in the trip the usa boys were cleaning dishes and the israeli soldiers were drying....meanwhile swapping stories and war talk. very interesting ease-dropping. our tour [View Full Entry]

g'day blokes and sheila's So the journey continues. We have left the cosmopoli-life of sydney and arrived in the Red Centre, otherwise known as the Outback. This is a truely a vast and desolate area. Almost no water or life for thousands of kilometers in all directions from the center. I don't know how much ya'll know about australia...but the super short history lesson is australia was a prison for england...but aboriginals(dark skinned people who have been around for 65,000 years and havent changed their lifestyle) were in the way....so they just massacred everyone they saw and stole all [View Full Entry]

elo friends strange the lull and surge of the blog. i thought for sure there would be mounds of backblog for me to sludge through. tis ok though. i blog on. It was a long over-night bus journey on a bus and then onto a train which took us into the beautiful blue mountains. These are the main mountain ranges and cliffs of australia. Very dramatic and the home of the famous rock formation 'The 3 Sisters". We stayed in a very quant mountain town called katoomba in a cozy bed and breakfast. We filled our time by going on lovely [View Full Entry]

Greetings friends today we are finishing up our time in the hippie alternative lifestyle town of Byron Bay. It is a very small town centered around relaxation and surfing....but mostly surfing. Lots of strange dirty people wandering around the beaches and hemp shops and plenty of hot bods hitting the waves. We are staying at a hostel called The ARts Factory. Very strange....it was created by 2 american vietnam draft dodgers who came to australia and started a dance club. Now it is a very hippie place with all sorts of zany sleeping, eating, living options: you can sleep in a [View Full Entry]

yowza! Greetings all. I have just returned from a splendid adventure. I will describe as skillfully as i can: Lara finished exams with apparent success...and moments latar....blammo!...we disappeared on to our trip. We took a bus to Townsville...and picked up her friend Ashley. This bus went on to a place called Airlie Beach. This is your standard tropical paradise town...lots of nice little shops...perfect weather....beautiful boats,water, harbour etc. What makes this town special is that it has 75 beautiful islands connected to it. They are called the WhitSunday islands. We did a little [View Full Entry]

elo elo. So i have just recently returned from 3 days on the GBR(great barrier reef). My head is still slowly rocking as i have not gotten acustom to being on solid ground. The trip out there was somewhat rough...and being aware of my sickness, i downed some yummy motion sickness pills. LAra, knowing she was a toughie, and making fun of me for being a wimpy...took none. Sadly, Lara did the technicolor yawn over the side of the boat, feeding all the fishes her half-digested breakfast. She thought the main reason for her upchuck was karma...so she will no longer [View Full Entry]
