Sharks dont scare me

---

I made it to Oz after a 12 hour delay in Singapore due to the Volcano. Its not a bad airport to be stranded in, free cinema, burger king vouchers and $4 massages!

Just finished a 9 day outback tour across the Nullabor from Perth to Adelaide. It was a bit of a shock at first. Day 1 we were introduced to the Long Drop, i have photos to capture the horror but after a few days of bush camping with just a shovel it felt like luxury! Another amazing bunch of fellow travellers and a brilliant tour guide called Agro who was 6ft 6 and just as wide. His spag bol, pancakes and mums chocolate mud cake made him very popular with me. No more cow intestines!

I tried surfing for the first time and managed to get up onto my knees but not quite standing, but i have another 2 months to practice, yay! Also swan with wild dolphins, a pod of 10, including some babies swam with us for 10 minutes. We also swam with sealions and camped in a Koala park where i climbed a tree to get a closer look. Lots of Kangaroo's and emu's everywhere, not had a chance to sample them in burgers yet!

Sandsurfing has to be my favourite activity, shame the walk to the top of the dunes takes about 10 minutes, or i could of had more than a few go's without collapsing!

As for the shark dive, they had not been spotted in the area since march so the dive was called off, was gutted.

Alice, I just love the photos and they do make me a little homesick - the trek across the Nullabor must have been amazing - I only did it by train all those years ago, but your journey is far more comprehensive and you are seeing so much more - can't wait for Sydney!! love Dimity

Your photos look amazing. I was just beginning to wonder what it will be like and after my recent experience, dreading it a bit, but now I have seen your amazing photos, I am looking forward to it. Hope we can link up at some point whilst I'm there.
