Still can’t quite believe that we are in Australia but after five (amazing) months in Nz we have hopped across to see her much bigger brother. We arrived here about 3 days ago after a good weekend in Christchurch - Highlights of which included being invited (gatecrashing?) a 21st birthday party in a really cool bar and going to a fantastic bead shop and making each other beaded bracelets because we are travelers now and that’s what us traveler types like to wear. And of course being in Christchurch which is a nice city with lots of old (well older) buildings and parks and stuff. It wasn’t all fun and games though as in order to get to Sydney we had to get up at 4am in the pouring rain and darkness to get a shuttle ... read more

Moi No niin Sain viimein duunia, 1000 paata joita ajetaan kaikin mahdollisin keinoin kohden pohjoista. Taalta Brisseista ei pitaisi olla kuin 3 tunnin ajomatka Mooreen jossa mob majailee tallahetkella, onneksi ei tarvitse matkustaa paria tuhatta kilometria sisamaahan ja yhtakkia tajuta etta tamahan on ihan kauhea souvi.. Ilmeisesti duuni ei ole kovin haluttu koska sain sen ensi puhelinhaastattelussa. Kaytannossa kaytamme ilmeisesti ainoastaan hevosia ja minimissaan motskareita siirroissa. Kaskettiin ainostaan tuoda makuupussi ja jonkintyyppinen matress. Paras tarjous taman illan aikana on koskenut ilmapatjaa. Luulen etta hyvaksyn sen, muuntyyppista majoitusta kuin aavikkoa tai rekkoja ei taida olla seuraavan parin kuukauden aikana tarjolla. Kaikenlisaksi parin kuukauden kuluttua taalla rannikolla on kesa ja paljon enemman nahtavaa ja ihmisia. Luultavasti tarjolla on aika ra... read more

Yes, back again. We liked it soooo much the first time (bar the disgusting dorm) that we had to come back for more. This time we opted to stay in a much nicer hostel that we found with cleaners, a pool and only 6, not 16, to a room. That does not meen, however, that Lara and I are staying in the same room. oh no. It is peak season here with not a cloud in the sky and not a degree below 30. This is proper weather and a welcome change from that crap out East. the place is packed and no prisoners are taken when trying to get into a hostel or onto a tour (later). The main reason for being here is that Bali (Indonesia) is only just over 2 hours away and ... read more

Greetings once more loyal readers. My apologies yet again for the lengthy duration between blogs. Word on the cyberstreet is that Simmo's Tour of BEWDY!! is getting a reputation for more broken promises than a John Howard election campaign, having mentioned several times that I'll be "adding another blog soon". But, in the words of an old mate of mine, Bulwinkle the moose, "this time for sure". So as far as I can remember when I last left you I had just signed off on my Jackaroo experience and arrived in the Gold Coast - party town full of glitz, glamour, themeparks, nightclubs and slutty charm. Within hours of arriving at the coast I was lying on the golden sand in Surfers Paradise and who should be standing next to me but Steven Bradbury of Australian ... read more
