It’s possible that the involuntary shouts from our room at Harry Kewell’s equalizer against Croatia disturbed the occupants of adjoining motel rooms. After settling down, we made our way slowly via the scenic route back to Auckland, and the holiday really just wound down from there: an afternoon rest, dinner in a fine Italian restaurant down on the wharf, and a good night’s sleep ahead of an uneventful flight home. New Zealand was every bit as impressive as we had been led to expect, and Rarotonga just the kind of island we wanted. Holiday successful. ... read more

Well thought I'd get a photoblog site going so I could get a few pics and updates of my trip online for all to see. For those who don't know, I arrived in Melbourne 4 weeks ago with the intention of staying here and working until September. After a week or so, I got itchy feet! So, this Wednesday coming, June 28th, I'm flying up to Cairns in North Queensland. Haven't got a firm plan in my mind, but basically I'll be making my way down the east coast of Oz until I hit Sydney. I'm planning to arrive back in Melbourne a week or two before I'm due to fly home, in Mid-September. Anyway, briefly what I've been up to here. Have been picking up a bit of casual work in Melbourne. Its only been ... read more

It's been a while, but I have finally had the chance to spend some quailty time with the internet in order to publish my new blog so here goes... I have been a very busy boy of late, working nearly every night at Trader Bar which is really good for me because I actually feel like I'm earning and saving money now. I worked out the other day I'm actually earning more working at Trader bar than I was at the call centre in Sydney, which is fantastic!!! Because I haven't written for a while the order of the various events may be up in the air so I apologise for that now. I joined the gym which I have been going to quite a lot which is good for my body, but in recent days ... read more

Well hello again ye followers of our trip. It's been a very interesting few weeks since we last updated you all. Adelaide - Alice Springs (the hard way) Australia is COLD!!! I don't care what you have seen or heard it's definitely cold (in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, in the middle of winter, in a tent). The days are pretty warm though... We Jumped on a bus in Adelaide early one morning for an 8 day trip to Alice. It's about 1500Km if you go straight, but who wants to do that??? The first day involved travelling through the beautiful Clare Valley and on to FLinders Range stopping to see some aboriginal cave paintings. That night we camped out at Wilpena Pound in minus temperatures. Civilisation just seemed to disappear ... read more
