well the travels are quickly coming to a close for myself. I arrived to Brisbane, Australia 2 weeks ago, and will already be leaving the country in 2 days! It was a brief introduction to the country. I definitely hope to come back here when I have the time and money for it. Brisbane was a good start, my roommates were 2 Germans, and a Swiss named Fabio...they were quite a deck of cards. I then spent a few days in North Stradbroke Island, "Straddie", a white sand island right off the coast of Brisbane. And my last five days were spent in the relaxed beach town of Byron Bay. I spent the days boogie boarding in the dolphin rich area, frisbeeing on the beach, relaxing in my friendly guesthouse and meeting some of the great ... read more

Been having disputes with Mother Nature as to why she is so stingy with the sun! Only rain for the last couple of weeks.......that's not on!!!! If I wanted rain I would have stayed in London *hmpf*!

It is a quaint little place, with only one put, one ... read more

"Totally Tropical!" Wow Australia really is the land of diversity. Ayres Rock, the red centre in the morning, jump on a plane, and we arrive in a tropical paradise with palm trees along the beaches and rain forest covered mountains down to the sea. We spent the "arvo" wandering round Cairns city. It just doesn't feel like Australia here it's just to lush, tropical, humid and mountainous to be the same country! Cairns city was not as big as I expected but it is very touristy with loads of places offering tours and gifts etc. This wasn't a bad thing, us being tourists. The surrounding scenery around cairns is breath taking giving us both itchy feet wanting our campervan to get out into the rainforest and up the coast. Next day we picked up our VanperCan ... read more
