So you thought we'd got lost didn't you - no such luck - it's just been madness. We arrived in Adelaide on 24th April - can't believe we have been here so long already, the days and kilometers have just drained away. Australia is currently suffering its longest drought and in many areas it's getting quite desperate. So when we arrived in Adelaide to brillaint sunshine we felt very sorry for the locals, but we had a smile on our faces - all was to change. The following day is rained and the day after and after that - by the end of April we heard that the rainfall had been the heaviest for 10 years in the Adelaide region and it had all fallen during the last 5 days of April!! Of course we ... read more

The days after Jervis bay were slightly less entertaining as we looked ahead to Melbourne. George being not quite as strong as Tom and I fell sick for a duration of around 3 days. However the party did not stop for the rest of the group, leaving george in his bed, Thomas and I set off to enjoy the wonders of sydney. We met up with Daniel Akenhead who gave us much needed nutrition at a barbeque with some of his gap year friends/colleagues. That night the three of us (some of dan's friends had fallen by the wayside due to over indulgence of intoxicating fluids) went and marvelled at the pleasantries of the famous King's cross. The next day was very uneventful although the day after George roused himself from his sickly state, no longer ... read more

Hello all! Only 4 more sleeps till Christmas! Hope you are all ready and you have wrapped everything up and put it under your trees! We are sat in an air conditioned internet room at a campsite just outside Melbourne. Its great in here because outside its like 30 something degrees and we are sweating like piggys in blankets! So, we have come to the end of our time touring in our little camper - blub, both myself and Pip will really miss it because its become our home from home. It really gives you the freedom to go where you want to go and see what you want, the only thing we would say is that we haven't had enough time to do everything we wanted! If we could have, we would have had more ... read more

Greetings all from Melourne!! Quite a few bits to fill you in on since i last wrote but i'll try and summarise to save you all from tires eyes.... Cool, so I was just setting off for a trip around the Whitsunday Islands last time and that was awesome!! WE went for two days and two nights and did lots of snorkelling and swimming. Because of the high number of deadly stinging jellyfish in the water though, we had to wear these uber sexy stinger suits which are like wetsuits but made from lycra hehe, you can imagine how attractive we all looked! I got bitten by bed bugs all down my left arm which was also extremely attractive! That was in Airlie Beach and they stayed for ages - just going now but not nice. ... read more
