Saa er vi klar med fortsaettelsen paa vores Wicked adventure paa vestkysten i Australien :D I Exmoth var vi ude at opleve det smukke Ningaloo Reef. Vi havde lejet et undervandskamera og koebt snorklingsaet, saa vi var klar til det helt store undervandseventyr. Vi koerte til Cape Range Nationalpark hvor vi fik snorklet og set nogle flere Gorges. I vandet saa vi mange forskellige fisk og saa ogsaa en haj der gemte sig under en coral. Vi havde vores hyr med at faa taget billeder, da man ikke kunne se hvad man tog billeder af, det viste sig dog i dag, at billederne faktisk er blevet meget vellykket. Derefter tog vi til Coral Bay, hvor vi for en gangs skyld betalte for overnatningen - byen bestod af 3 veje, saa der var ikke mange steder man ... read more

On the 22nd of October- After we had searched high and low for wheels, Jenny found a fantastic deal on Gumtree for a deep blue 1983 (its older than I am) Toyota Hiace. It came with fridge, gas cooker, extendable roof, convertible chair-to bed situation (it makes a size-able double bed and instantly installable table (for drinking/playing cards/laptops etc). We traveled to Freemantle by train from Perth central station to visit our soon to be beloved mobile home. Upon meeting its owner Matthias; just outside the station, both Jenny and Nico took it for a spin and we decided (almost on the spot) to say yes there and then. After looking at some very bad/expensive/all of the above vans which had almost the same live-in setup as the one in front of our eyes. We were ... read more

So our 14 week, 11 country world trip has come to an end. It is nice to be home, back in familiar surroundings with family and friends. But what an experience it has been. We have seen so many wonderful sights, meet many wonderful and interesting people and seen the best and worst that much of the world has to offer. We have also seen the best and worst of ourselves. It is great to know how far we can be pushed and still come out the other side, still together as a family, definitely stronger for the experience. So what have I learned from our little jaunt. Firstly, and this I truly believe, Australia is a great place to live, with many opportunities for those who wish to take them. Secondly, you can fit anything ... read more

Hello all, So, I haven’t blogged for a bit but between working and working, sometimes there just aren’t enough hours or my ‘wittiness’ decides to take a nap due to the lack of sleep. I am currently suffering the after effects of too much wine and dealing poker games until the early hours but I’m feeling quite chirpy! The hostel is coming along nicely, Mark has been making improvements such as a new electronic door opening system. Guests think this is wonderful from a security point of view and of course they are not wrong, but the simple fact that Mark and I could then chill out in the back yard undisturbed by random peeps wandering in is much more appealing! The Ozi Inn has been running at full to almost full capacity for the last ... read more

G'day Mates. Firstly, we must apologise for the big delays in between blogs. It’s sometimes difficult to be at a computer long enough, have all the leads for the cameras, the money for the machine and the energy to bash them all out at once (poor us... so busy, eh?); however, a blog delight now awaits you… We took off from Melbourne on yet another flight and headed for the delights of Western Australia. At the rather disgusting looking ‘budget’ terminus we were greatly cheered up upon discovering that we were to share our flight with the one and only… ‘Kitten’ from Big Brother 6(?)!! For those of you who care, yes she still looks like a screaming lesbian. Anyway, we arrived at 3am and were swiftly collected by the wonderful Mark from the Ozi Inn ... read more
