The Mandarin thinning season was finished and so Me Tim Janet and Leslie squeezed into Manolito again and set of for a road trip around Northland the state north of Auckland.

                    <description>On the 28th of November we finally decided to get out of Auckland and move on again. We all finished our jobs and planned to head north to a place called Paihia in the Bay of Islands in Northland of New Zealand. James had been to Paihia the summer before so we moved into a hostel there to plan where to look for work and stay long term. After two nights in Paihia which is a popular tourist place</description>

                    <description>Well after settling into the flat it didnt take us long to all get jobs. I found myself a job in a bar in a seafood restaurant that was on one of the floors in one of Aucklands historic registered buildings the old Ferry Building. It was a bit of a trek through town to work about 35 minutes walk each way but at least I was working and able to pay of Tim the debt that I had incurred. We spent</description>

                    <description>WellingtonSo after having no luck with work in Queenstown we have decided to write off the ski season this year and just worry about getting jobs elsewhere in the country. We started our luck for the second time in Wellington where we moved straight into long term accommodation in a hostel called Wellywood. It is a really well laid out place with good facilities and very central also cheaper than</description>

                    <description>Well we have set off again and after a ridiculously long 31 hour flight we arrived in Christchurch on the South Island in New Zealand. We stopped in Bangkok to refuel and walk about the airport so I can technically say that we've been to Thailand. It was really hot there and a bit different to the weather in NZ. We arrived around midday last thursday and because of the timing we weren't really th</description>

                    <description>Well after a big spending time in New Zealand it was back to earth as I got back to Sydney again. After arriving back and checking into the same hostel as before it was nice to see nothing had changed. It was as if I hadn't been away and all of the same people were still in the hostel. When I got back I met up with Jill the American girl that I threw myself off a bridge with in New Zealand. I spe</description>

                    <description> Unfortunately we couldn't bum it around Australia for the whole year and so we have ended up in Melbourne to try and get ourselves some work. We caught a Qantas which apparently stands for Queensland And Northern Territory Air Service flight down to Melbourne from Alice Springs. It was pretty nifty and we got to watch the new Rocky film and got a free meal which we didn't expect. We arrived and</description>

                    <title>Tourist Time</title>
                    <description>Since arriving in Melbourne we have done pretty much no tourist stuff and not much sightseeing. True that this is mainly because we have been working most of the time andor drinking and knocking about with other people that we've met. So we decided to have a day of pure tourist action... we whipped our cameras out and set of snapping pretty much everything that we could find. I have tried to put </description>

                    <description>The Great Ocean Road is a well known tourist attraction along the South Coast not far from Melbourne. It is a road that runs for about 4 hours along the south coast looking out over the ocean and it has a lot of scenic places natural beauty spots and is mainly national park. We had been planning the trip for the last couple of weeks and had put a notice up in the hostel asking for people to come </description>

                    <description>Well well after 3 and a bit months in Melbourne it was time to leave and it almost felt as if we were leaving home. We had a going away night on Monday at a pub called Pugg Mahones which is a usual monday place to go with the hostel. It was really good but sad that we would never see any of the buggers in there again. Anyway we rented the same car that we got for the Great Ocean Road and hired i</description>

                    <description> I had 5 days left in Queenstown and pretty much done everything that I wanted to so far apart from one thing. There is a place called Milford Sound about three hours drive from Queenstown that is one of a few 'World Heritage' sights. Other places in the same league are The Grand Canyon and The Great Barrier Reef so it is quite a special place.  I booked the trip for Sunday and while I had some ti</description>

                    <description>Magic TripCraig Duffy Having spent the last 7 months 'hard at work' in Australia I decided that it was time for a holiday and so on the 4th July got my independance and flew over to New Zealands South island to the only international airport in Christchurch. It is in the middlenorth east and when I landed at around 11 at night it was a bit nippy. I hadn't planned to stay in the city for very long</description>

                    <title>Ayres Rock Tour</title>
                    <description>The only reason we went to Alice Springs really was so that we could visit Ayres Rock or Uluru as the Aboriginals call it. We had planned to spend a couple of days here and then drive with Simon and do the 'Red Centre'. This seemed like a good plan and all was going well for the first few days. We went to the local desert park which is like a zoo but just set in a natural environment and all of t</description>

                    <title>Brisbane  Alice Springs</title>
                    <description>When we decided that public transport was rubbish we didn't expect to be driving for 3000km across the outback to save a bit of cash. However the experience was well worth it. We set off from the youth hostel on Wed 28th with a guy called Simon who we met a few nights before after replying to his offer of a lift to Ayres Rock if we split petrol money. It was going to work out a bit cheaper than f</description>

                    <description>The trip to Brisbane was the first time since we have been here that we've had to use public transport. We got a bus from Hervey Bay down to Brisbane that left at 530 am luckily my favourite time of the day. The city of Brisbane is pretty similar looking to Sydney and I quite liked it. We were staying in a hostel with a bar and club as part of it and with cheap food available from the bar we nev</description>

                    <description>The best part of the whole trip to completely make up for the past few weeks of rain and being ill was Fraser Island. This is the biggest sand island in the world with more sand than the Sahara Desert and just across the bay from Hervey Bay.We arrived in Hervey Bay on the Friday night in a youth hostel called Koalas. The Hostel was the biggest we've stayed in with a pool bar club and loads of p</description>
