We've been in the Top End for a few days now and so far we are really enjoying our time up here in Darwin, although the humidity does get a bit much sometimes (thank god for air con in our room!). We started our time here by booking some activities in and around Darwin, and then we headed off to explore the city centre. Our hostel is only 5 minutes walk from the centre so it's super easy for us to get around. We started off by scouting out whats around us, in Mit...

We left Adelaide on Sunday for our 3 day trip through the Outback on the legendary train The Ghan, which would take us through Alice Springs right up to Darwin. We had bought a rail pass over Christmas, so we were in the cheapest seats right at the back of the train - basically airplane seats only with slightly more legroom.

We left Melbourne to take on our next great road trip, driving along the Great Ocean Road.

There were also loads of surf sho...

We wanted to make sure we visited every state in Australia whilst we are here, so we drove from Canberra back down to Melbourne so we could catch a flight to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania! We had to be up super early to park our car, so by the time we arrived in Hobart we were ready for a nap, even though it was only 9.30am. We got a taxi to our hotel in the city centre, then headed out for brunch - we found a cafe on the corner of the main shopping area and I ...
