The Bling Coast & Skyscraper Paradise, Byron In The Rain, WARNING!, The Last Sessions, The Great Lakes, Tidying Up Loose Ends, Last Supper. From Brisbane Betty takes us once more south along the Pacific Highway, and into the high rise concrete jungle of the Gold Coast. I can’t believe my first sight of this 150k stretch of beautiful beach on which a veracious infection of tower blocks has taken root. The development here is in Plague proportions, there are more concrete and glass towers than in Brisbane, maybe even Sydney, and there right on the beach. In my opinion the Gold [View Full Entry]

Yum, Yum Bundy Rum! Sandy Island, Great Lakes, Da-Dum, Posh Surf Resorts, BrisO. Well as you can imagine it was a early start to get into the Rum factory before the locals got stuck in, there’s nay a Queenslander alive can resist a free rum tasting! Much to my disappointment, and im sure yours, I found that the factory was a camera free zone. I also had to surrender my wallet, phone, lose change, and the empty 30 gallon drum I had with me. As they brew some of the Rum to over 80% proof there is so much of the [View Full Entry]

The calm after the storm, East Coast Dreamin, Every Man Is an Island, Bundy and Beyond! After such a treat of wind at Alva beach an inevitable calm has settled over the east coast, the water is like glass everywhere we go, our wind meter twists lazily at 2 knots, our kites remain deflated and my dreams of the perfect double back roll remain unrealized. Despite this our spirits remain high, as this is a gorgeous part of the country to be lazy in, the beaches sport yellow to white soft sand, the water although a little cool as winter moves [View Full Entry]

The highlight of our stay in the top end is Kakadu national park, a area the size of whales encoumpasing Aligator creek and its catchment basen all the way to the sea. The park is one of the most diverse national parks in the world and therefore gets the increasingly common title of 'World Heratige area'. through the middle of the park a great wall and platau streaches for thousands of Kilometers, atop this platau is the aborigonal Arnhem lands, but beaneath lies Kakadu (with the exception of a few Uranium mines!). Numerous spectacular waterfalls run from atop the paltu down [View Full Entry]

Point Of No Return, Sharp Bay, Gorgeous Geology, Oresome, Big Beach, Broom Broom… (Disclamer: Written on two different PC,s one with and one without spell check, guess which bit on which!) Well we managed the decision after a long map and LP study, were so far how could we not do the full circle, it would be a sin, plus I would not want to disappoint my lovely readers! So we left the intrepid Duo in Exmouth having survived swimming with an 8 meter shark. We leave our paradise and our dreams with heavy hearts, but as the wind leaves us [View Full Entry]

Stromatolites, Celebration, Living The Dream, Face The Fear, Big Fish, , Decisions. Leaving Shark bay we make a short stop at another world famous scientific attraction, the oldest living organisms on the plannet, they live for 4000 years, they grow a millimetre a year, they are the Stromatolites! Hoorah. Well really they are a bacteria / amoeba that creates calcite ‘bommies’ in shallow saline water, check the picture of these strange things , not a great kite surfing spot! From Sharky we head north for a big 600ks to be in a good place for me to celebrate my 25th anniversary [View Full Entry]
