Hello! We arrived in Alice Springs in Cental Australia by plane this afternoon. So far today we have both attempted to play a didgeridoo, unsuccessfully, and we have visited the reptile centre here where we held some lizards and a snake. Our tour from here and finishing in Melbourne starts tomorrow and we'll probably be offline for most of it. Before Alice Springs we spent a few days in Cairns which was lovely. Most of our time was spent lounging by the lagoon ...

Hello! Just a quick one as we haven't done much recently, it was raining for maybe 2 weeks on and off so we did start to get a bit of cabin fever in our car but the sun has now come out again and we are trying to pick up the pace to get to Cairns on time.

Hi, Day 56 - Not a huge amount to report. We have been in Coffs Harbour for a few days. The weather hasn't been great and it was raining for 2 days straight.

There are also wild kangaroo's and koala's where we're staying a...

Hi, Writing this from Hanmer Springs on the South Island. After our last blog have we visited a Mauri museum and watched some traditional Mauri singing and dancing and the Haka! They also had a couple of Kiwi's there (the bird) which were very cute. We then made our way to Wellington by coach and stayed in our first dorm room. In Wellington we went on a Lord of the Rings tour to where a lot of the scees from the Shire were filmed and we also went to the Weta Cav...
