G'day all. Sorry for the long delay in updating my blog, I have been super busy and away from Internet access for a while, but now that I am back in civilisation I will have a shot at bringing you up to speed - read on for a monster entry! I left you all in Hervey Bay where I hopped aboard a 3 day action-packed 4WD trip over to Fraser Island. Fraser is the world's largest sand island but it was far from what I had expected - the island's interior is stunning, wi...

Bellingen, where I last updated from, feels a world away now, I have done a lot of exploring since so here goes on an update for you all!

Back along the Great Ocean Road first and to Apollo Bay - I treked up to a spectacular viewpoint along the coast before ta...

Hi everyone - I am currently at a place called Apollo Bay about half way along The Great Ocean Road - sounds pretty cool hey? Well it is, it's awesome! I took an early train from Melbourne on Thursday morning to a city called Warrnambool - at the western start of the Great Ocean Road. It was a fairly bog-standard place but the dramatic coastline was stunning - I did a walk out to a headland called Thunder Point - it was desolate, very windy with rolling black cl...
