AMAZING. WE went on a 3/4 day walk up the glacier. It was brilliant. We left at about 11 and got back about 5.30 and probably had a good 3-4 hrs on the ice. The formations were incredible and went through some tunnels. I have uploaded the photos and so if anyone is interested ill send the link i warn you now i was very snap happy! Got back and felt very stiff and exhausted but it was well worth the money.... read more

So...im sat here at my desk and I have to say its hard work being a receptionist!!!yup...i have had to buzz in at least 3 people to the building and the rush looks set to continue.. ok so I am now working (albeit not hard) in Sydney, just doing odd days here and there for agencies as nothing permanent has come up yet. Although my bank balance is hoping it does as its pretty expensive living here!! So...I got here a few days before NY eve and Lex and I went to stay with her Godmother's son called Sam, who is 30 and lives in Clovelly right in between Bondi and Coogee in a gorgeous apartment. The first thing I did was head straight to the harbour to look at the opera house (not as big ... read more

מה קורה חברים??? אז ככה.. יש דברים שאפשר להגדיר כנס. ומה שקרה לנו היום הוא אחד מהם. קמנו היום בבוקר, פתחנו וילונות ומה אנחנו רואים? יום שמש, בלי אף ענן בשמיים!! נכנסנו לרכב והתפללנו כל הדרך שגם במילפורד יהיה מזג אוויר דומה.. וזה אכן היה!!! איזה יום מדההההיים!!! בכל אופן, נתחיל עם הדרך למילפורד שהייתה יפהפיה. דברים שפשוט קשה להסביר.. הרים עצומים מכוסים שלג, מפלים שנוצרים ככה סתם בגובה 2000 מטר כי השלג בפסגות נמס, יערות גשם, שדות אינסופיים של פרחים... פשוט גן עדן!.. באמצע הדרך עוד הספקנו לעצור במקום שנקרא "אגמי המראה" - אגם קטן שכל ההרים והשדות שמסביבו משתקפים בו- מקום נחמד.. אבל זה עוד כלום לעומת השייט האדיר שהיה לנו. המילפורד הוא בהחלט אחד המקומות היפים ביותר שראינו אי פעם. נופים שגם תמונות לא יכולות לתאר. ראינו שם מפלים ונחלים בכל פינה, הרים ... read more

Fraser Island - as we said before, it's the largest sand island in the world and it's off the Queensland coast. We were picked up early in the morning and put aboard a 4 Wheel Drive coach along with about 30 other people and off we went on a barge to the island. We landed on 75 Mile Beach, which is a long golden sand beach, which doubles as a runway for light aircraft and a road for 4 wheel drive vehicles. The edge of the beach seems stable enough, but whenever cars tried to go across the beach inland, they had a tendency to get bogged down - I'd have hated to do a self-drive 4WD hire there. After driving along the beach for a while, we stopped and walked inland to a barrage lake, ... read more

Well the head needed a good rest and relaxation after the festivities of xmas and new year and Tazmania was just the place to do it. Nothing but miles of stunning scenery, like Cradle Mountain and the chilled out white beaches of the East coast. We arrived in Launceston on 5th from Sydney and stayed in a little motor inn for the night. The next day we picked up our transport for the next 5 days, and it didn't inspire us with much confidence! It was a clapped out Suzuki Swift with dents and bangs all over it. By the time we filled her up with all our bags i didn't think we'd get up the tiny hill nearby let alone the mountains of Taz! But for what we payed we didn't expect anything better so ... read more
