Irgendwie scheinen wir das Pech mit den Fluegen gepachtet zu haben. Fast haetten wir unseren Flug nach Australien nicht erwischt. Manu wollten sie nicht zu den Kaenguruhs lassen, da ihr Visum einen Tippfehler beim Geburtsdatum aufwies (gem. Visum war Manu 1-Jaehrig). Aber wir habens geschafft und haben nun 3 Wochen an der Westkueste verbracht. Mit unserem fahrenden Zuhause sind wir von Perth die Kueste hochgefahren bis nach Broome und von Broome im Landesinneren zurueck nach Perth. Unterwegs haben wir z.B. in Monkey Mia Delfine gefuettert, auf dem Campingplatz Kaenguruhs gestreichelt, in Coral Bay geschnorchelt und im Karijini Nationalpark bei Wasserfaellen gebadet. Zudem haben wir Erfahrungen in der Tierwelt gesammelt: Schlangen vor dem Buschklo, Froesche in der Klospuele, Kakerlaken ueberall, Heuschreckenschwaerme auf der Kuehlerhaube, Mueckenstiche am gan... read more

Well as stated on previous blogs i am in Perth now - and it's cold - wthf?! Didn't pack my bloody jumper , what a flaming galah! Pressing on , arrived in Perth and found ourselves a native to ask advice , native in the fact she was wearing khaki shorts, khaki shirt and weird hat with corks on!

So, I've spent a bit of time in Perth now and the blog really needs updating. Basically been keeping my head down and earning a few dollars to fund further adventures! After the hardships of working on a sheep station (see previous blog), I spent a couple of weeks chilling out at a hostel in central Perth. I realised fairly swiftly that its a fairly unproductive use of my time and money so I snapped up a bit of casual work moving office furniture. This was childsplay after Rawlinna and also brought in $140 a day, cash in hand, thank you very much! Gave me a chance to actually save a bit seeing as a weeks rent is only $99 for the ten bed dorm. Restrained myself admirably from pissing it up the wall in the ... read more

So, Catching up on my old blog - and announcing my NEW ONE! Thank you so much for following my Travel Blog from my flying days. How things have moved on since then! I cannot believe that it was four years ago that I was conducting the 'travel' adventure with Emirates and gallivanting across the world. Many of you have written to me asking advice about working with Emirates and about Dubai generally. I hope that I have been of assistance to you, and I haven't got round to it then please feel free to drop me a line again. 4 Years On I am no longer in Dubai. I was there during the boom - and very during the BUST! What a shame - but it was certainly good fun while it lasted. I doubt ... read more
