G'day mateys! Australia - what a hilarious place, the land of roos, bathers, white pointers, dunnies, robbies, kockys, perenties, thongs, creeks, crocs, sheilas, joeys, humpies and bevvies... After a great few days in Nelspruit, SA with another visit to the Kruger as well as my first micro light flight at sunset which was fantastic - I got myself to Johannesburg and caught my flight to Perth.

However, just whilst we running through our options to get up the coast the bus pulled round the corner. We were pleasantly surprised with this off-roading Isuzu 4wd bus that had pulled up, it looked much better than the bus we'd had in the red centre. Shouldn't really have gotten too comfy as that was actually only the shuttle bus to the depot and ten minutes later we were boarding a bus just the same as the red centre one. ... read more
