Alice Springs – The Rock Tour No Rest for the Wicked! With just one night and one mornings rest following the Kakadu tour, Jess and I were on a plane to Alice Springs. The next day, I would start The Rock Tour – a three day tour of Uluru, Kata-Tjuta and Kings Canyon. Jess had already enjoyed the delights of the Red Centre with her boyfriend Paul, so it was just me to go! We arrived in Alice Springs, on a much bigger plane, although we did manage to cr...

Darwin - Kakadu  Well hello from the Noerthern Territory! In my last journal I promised to tell you all about my time with Jess in Broome. Well, I pretty much drank a lot, spent time in the town centre and sunbathed by the pool and on the nudie beach! I did visit the open-air cinema once again to watch The Devil Wears Prada, which was brilliant; and snuck in a few visits to the Buddha sanctuary.

The town in rather small, but has everything a girl needs. For me, a fe...

THE LOVLEY CORAL BAY  Coral Bay is a very, very small town. A few houses, 1 mini-supermarket, a fantastic bakery, a dive shop and once stunning coastline. The beach at Coral Bay is just 300m wide, backed by sand dunes and fronted by the lovely Ningaloo Reef.    Easyrider supplied us with snorkels and fins for the first morning of our stay. We jumped in the water (although at 8am and it was a little chilly) and watched in fascination as brightly col...
