Heyloo there my lovely friends and family!! :) So far Sydney is living up to expectations....fantastic city!!! A lot of people said to me that if I loved Melbourne I wouldn't like Sydney, but I have found that I love them both!! Maybe i'm just easy to please!hehe Last Saturday I basically recovered from the overnight bus ride from Melbourne to Sydney which was nice....on Sunday we went on a trip into the Blue Mountains which was sooo amazing!! They were beautiful, unfortunately it was a little overcast, but I still saw the three sisters and also got a pretty good view of the whole valley, mountains and general scenery so i'm not complaining!! They really were breathtaking and I would recommend for everyone reading this to get themselves over to Oz pronto and visit them!! ... read more

It was such a brillo night though, I was right at the front when the band came on and Dr. Karl knelt down and sang part of a song to me (Oo yesh I felt greatly special :P haha) Yesterday we went along the Great Ocean Road...it was really rather funny as Nathan picked ... read more

Howdy all......sooooooo i'm currently in the lovely city of Melbourne!! The weather here is not much to speak of.....very English one might say!hehe But it's a really cool place to be and there's lotts to do :D Let me begin by telling you that the Qantas Club Lounge was soooooo nice!! There was unlimited free food, soft drinks, alcohol, internet etc.... and the toilets were really nice too!!haha It was brill to be there, especially as my flight was delayed by 45mins too!! As soon as I got to the Hostel I met this other English girl called Hayley who had also just arrived from Auckland! It was brill as we both want to do quite a few of the same things, so we've kind of paired up now and I have someone to wander around ... read more

Goodness me I really havn't written on here in aaaagggggeesss!! This may be rather long!!!hehehe Sorry about that guys, I guess you've all missed my little updates over the last week (or were you secretly relieved :P hehe) Lets start at last Tuesday when I travelled down to Margaret River with Laura (Han's cousin). Got up at 5am to meet her at the airport!!! It was totally worth it though and we really got on like a house on fire! Margaret River is soooooo beautiful, and although the weather was not at all in our favour I still had the best time there and was able to appreciate all of the stunning scenery etc... We started of our Tuesday by hitting the wineries at about 10.30 - 11am ish!! haha This was fun, and some of ... read more

Rottnest Island was coooel.....it rained though.....and we got totally soaked!! From the pictures I took you really would think it was a beautiful summer's day, and at times it was really warm.......but it did absolutely POUR!!! We did see some Quokkas however (sooo cute even hough they are a little rat-like!), Rhodri even got licked/nipped by one!haha The cycling was good fun too....we didn't do the whole island because of the unpredictable weather, but we saw the liitle church which was soooo cute, spoke to the Priest who I think was originally Irish! The beaches were absolutley gorge....the sand was majorly powdery and soft and it felt like a proper little island beach!!hehe The locals say that the island is hilly. This is NOT true if you are comparing their 'hills' to the rolling English countryside!!hehe ... read more

Hello there my friends, guess what......I held a Koala!! it was soooo cute and such a fun thing to do....I felt mighty priviledged I tell you!! How jealous are you all now eh?! :P Yesterday we went to Kahunu Koala Park which is where I held the Koala (surprisingly enough!!hehe) This park was reeeelly cool as most of the animals are roaming free around the park or are in massive enclosures, and instead of standing at the side and trying to get a peek of the animals from afar you can actually enter the enclosures and be 'at one' with the animals!! In the Kangaroo enclosure I got to stroke a Kangaroo which was really amazing....it's soo great how close you can get and how relaxed they are!! I also went into the walk through Aveary ... read more
