Im not too sure where i got up too...I think Gill's birthday...A lot has happened since then! We stayed up a long long time...and it wasn't cold at all! Beautiful stuff! Next day (tuesday) i had a long sleep and woke up feeling full of BEANS! not really even sure why...maybe the jetlag that i didn't think i had vanished? Who knows! I was skipping around a lot of the day and singing...and generally annoyed all the people who were tired around me...laura style! OOOps! :) Tuesday night got whisked away by one of Gill's boyfriend's friends...who i met at the pool and bbq party thing. he promised he'd show me some kangaroos...as it had been a week since i've been here and still seen no kangaroos! surely that's not on! Anyway so stayed at his ... read more

Jos ennakko odotukset olisivat pitaneet paikkansa niin olisin kuolemaisillani lampohalvaukseen. Saavuin Australiaan keskella kesaa, mika yleensa on tietysti sita kaikkein kuuminta aikaa. Vaan Suomi ja Eurooppa eivat ole ainoa alue missa saat ovat olleet poikkeukselliset. Kuumuuden sijaan Australiassa on poikkeuksellisen "viileata" ja sateista. Saapuessamme viime maanantaina Alice Springsiin luulimme koneen kapteenin vitsailevan hanen kuuluttaessa, etta saa on sateinen ja vilpakka. Vaan totta se oli. Lampotila oli siina +27 C ja vetta sataa tihutti. Alice Springsissa meilla oli varattuna vuodepaikat Annie's Place nimisesta hostellista, minka kautta olimme ottaneet myos kolmen paivan retken katsomaan "lahella" sijaitsevia nahtavyyksia. Meidan oli tarkoitus lahtea retkelle tiistaina, mutta koska Mulga's matkanjarjestajan iso bussi oli hajonnut niin meidat siirrettiin seuraavan paivan re... read more

Unfortunately, its come to a point where I have to leave Perth. I can't find a job, so I have to go stay with my mom for a few weeks in Adelaide so I can make some money. But I guarantee that I will be back here by the end of February. I've been on bebo all day hunting down people who have left the hostel. I've found some fantastic pictures that I will be posting in the coming weeks. Once I get back to my moms, I dont have to pay for the internet, so I'll be able to upload heaps of photos onto photobucket. Aside from leaving, there isn't a lot of news at all really. Been the same thing at the hostel basically. Lots of goon drinking being done, lots of fun being ... read more

Wow! I can not believe how fast the time has gone since I last blogged. It has just completely flown by, and now it seems, like only a little while longer till I'll be back in freezing cold Canada. So much has happened in the last 3 months, it's crazy to think I'll have to sum it up in one entry. Well, I must say...Perth was by far my favorite city visited in all of Australia. If there was one place I'd pick to live in in Australia, it would no doubt in my mind, be the pick of the bunch. So, after arriving in Melbourne in early November, Jason and I decided it was far too cold to settle down there and work, so we sparatically bought tickets to Perth and booked two nights into ... read more

Hi all.. Our last stop in Australia has been perfect - from beaches, parks to prison hell - we've really had a fab time here... Perth is truely an amazing City and has, we think the best of both worlds from City to Beaches! You can see why people settle here with constant sunshine, great food, a very relaxed pace (even the taxi drivers drive so slow), natural beauty and lots of space - Its main focus is the Swan River, stretching from gentle backdrops of hills from the East to the vineyards of the Swan Valley - The City Centre with its glass towers of the central business district (CBD) sparkles, with lots of shopping malls, arcades of smaller boutiques, and busy shoppers who spill over into the streets of Northbridge where they are greeted ... read more
