Great Barrier Reef, Paradise found, and Jungle Surfing...!!!

Wow, well lets just say ive been pretty busy since my last entry..!!! After Rockhampton, I went up to Airlie Beach which is very incorrectly named seeing as there is no beach to speak of. Instead they have created a man made lagoon, which is basi...

 

East coast, Australia!!!

Campervan life is awesome!! The deck chairs come out often we even sat at the side of the road eating lunch today seems to provide entertainment for passers by!! Have spent a couple of days chilling out at the town of 1770 (where captain cook first lan...

 

AUSTRALIA

I loved my time in Australia. It is a country with heaps of natural beauty and, more impressive to me, some of the most interesting animals on earth. I found Australian culture to be a mix of British and American culture with a unique dialect and vocab...

 

Around the world...

Arriving in Dalat was a bit odd as it is right up in the Highlands and is about 10 degrees cooler than we have been used to. We had a great couple of days there. The town is pretty quiet but there are some great waterfalls and lakes in the area around ...

Australia

Sun 25 Feb 07 (Writing on the 1st March) FROM KAKADU TO KATHERINE I was really excited about arriving in Katherine. From what we had heard and read it sounded a lovely little town. Having stayed three days I don't know how anyone could live here! ...

 

Round the World Trip 2006/07

We arrived in La Paz on Thursday afternoon. It is absolute mayhem here! Buses, taxis, combis and people everywhere. Crossing the road is a challenge in itself. We went to an Asian restaurant for our farewell meal on Thursday night. Having not had a cur...

 

Goodbye Edinburgh, Hello World

Well, apparently our time is nearly up and we're having to return to dear old Blighty very soon. Life's a beach, isn't it? Well it has been for us recently, anyway. We've been in Thailand for around two months now. It's the kind of place where nothi...

Australia 2006

I arrived in Cairns on Tuesday morning at 1am, so headed for the resort and had a bit of a sleep. Tuesday I just walked through Cairns and went laying in the sun next to the lagoon. Cairns is very small and mostly consist of surf shops and travel a...

 

Australia

After Cervantes, we cruised on down through Perth (which will be our final Australian destination) to the funky and very pretty port city of Fremantle where we left Drew and Alistair for a few days while we continued further south. We plan to stay in F...

Over East Down Under

Due to the squad rotation system we've implemented this update is from Dave. And seeing as Hayls is the one whose good with writing and i'm cursed as a numbers guy, it's a little bit different.. Here come the numbers! 1) Places of interest we've be...

 

QUEENSLAND

Cheeseland (Queensland) as little Emily Rego calls it - was our favourite state! Apart from drunken of course. As we entered the sunshine state the heavens opened, closing many roads. Hence we had to stay in Hicksville (otherwise known as Richmond) whe...

 

World trip

After another early start we arrived at Airlie Beach for our sailing adventure on the Whitsunday Magic. This 135ft tall ship was to take us around the Whitsunday Islands for the next 3 days. The first night we anchored at Whitehaven Bay after sunset,...

 

Oz East Coast

Every adventure is solicited by the good, the bad and ralphy and the following is an account of our travels on the East Coast of Australia: Arriving in Port Douglas it didn’t take long to realise that Far North Queensland might be heaven if it wasn’...

 

Queensland 2002

Queensland is Australia's sunshine state - which seems odd when the entire country is almost constantly bathed in warm sunshine anyway, but there you go. Blessed with a long coastline, QL stretches from the backpacker resorts near Byron Bay on the bord...
