Hi all, added a map this time so you can see where I have been so far in Australia, plus also added some pickies Yuka who I met on the train (last blog) sent me. After leaving Alice and catching The Ghan to Darwin I was met by Dennis and Mary at the station. Oh forgot to mention the Alice Springs hostel was evacuated at one in the morning on my last night there, when the fire alarm went off! ... Read Full Entry

Hi Mark just to let you know Pomey are now safe and have 800 thousand from FA so should be able to re-build the team, althought they won again this week now 16th in tables I think. My son Ian still goes every week to watch them although he says at the beginning it was embarrassing wtching the game but they have improved now Nugent scored one of the goals this week.·Lets hope they keep winning Grant now managing West Ham are well at the bottom of premier league, at this moment Dave is downstairs watching Man U and Stoke , bloody lovely Sundays now, football live from one p.m./ to last match at 7 p.m. GREAT (not ). Looking forward to having you back, although your new tenant ( Dominic ) is very nice.

Hiya
Glad to see you still having a great time and having a variety of experiences to break up the tourist route. I remember swimming in Florence falls. Shame you didn't see more of Kakadu National Park. I liked the outskirts of Perth. Would advise going to Freemantle and going over to Rottnest Island to see the Quoka's. You can cycle around the island on hired bikes - the scenery is great but there are some hills to cycle over. Not much to do in Perth. Albany south of Perth is also supposed to be nice and I went North of Perth all the way up to Broome (only need 2-3 weeks). You can fly from Broome to Perth and then Perth to wherever. I ran the Great South Run today - 10 miles in 1.47 hours which I was really pleased with but have bad back ache now:( Take care hun Dee
