Hello there! Sorry for taking so long to write. I'm now in Perth and staying with my lovely aunt, Ariel. She lives in a beautiful area, just a stones throw from the beach, with her gorgeous cardigan corgie, Katie. She has just joined up to broadband so I am able to use the computer without it taking me hours just to get to the homepage. Perth is another lovely place. I've been keeping busy, mainly shopping and spending money I haven't got! Howeve...

I was picked up from the new airport in Adelaide by my uncle Tom and cousin Claire and taken to 'Happy Valley', a beautiful area just outside of the city.

On Thursday I booked up the 'Groovy Grape Wine Tour' which took a group of us to the Ba...

On my arrival on Sunday night I booked myself into the hostel and arranged to meet Jase, an old aussie friend I'd made a few years ago when he was travelling ...

Hello everyone My last day in New Zealand and I’m sat at the computer in my PJs. I’d be feeling utterly depressed if it wasn’t for the fact I’m going on to Sydney next! My time in New Zealand has been absolutely wonderful. I had another couple of days in Queenstown after I last wrote. On Friday I went on the Queenstown Gondola and found it really very frightening! It wouldn’t cross the minds of any of the adrenaline jun...
