Hello Everyone and Happy New Year! Hope you had a great festive season! At the moment I am travelling up the east coast of Australia, had a bit of spare time today so thought I would update this beast so I don't have to write a really long one in a few weeks time! So enjoy my ramblings and try to not get too bored, and i hope you enjoy all our run ins with celebrities! Bondi Beach We spent xmas and new year staying in the swanky Swiss Grand Hotel in Bondi Beach, which was a 5 star hotel! A little bit of luxury that I think we deserved!

OOOHH MY BUDDHA!!! FINALLY I just finished my last exam (5 minutes ago) and the tensions are starting to realease from my body (- won´t even spell right anymore). Tonight we (me and my sister Romissa) are going to celebrate with some drinks and a nice dinner. I havn't been able to add stuff and pictures as I wanted to but I have been feeling great (except for all the stressed studies) and have done alot of fun stuff - like visiting wineyards. Tonight is my LAAAST night in Sydney for a while and we are leaving for Brisbane tomorrow. We will be a group of 9 people renting to cars (stationwagons) and travelling from Brisbane to Cairns during 18 days. First stop will be Hervey Beach where we will stay and then go to Fraser ... read more
