Twas the morning after the night before..heads were not very good all round! However, we still mustled up the courage to tackle an almost full Irish breakie! The plan was to catch one of the biggest games of the year at the MCG (Collingwood v Hawthorn - Melbourne Cricket Ground) and go out for a few drinks after it. As we walked towards the stadium the place was buzzing - fans were in their kits and music was playing. I got to see the different Melbourne sportin...

Finally a sleep in this morning!! It was only until 8.30am but it felt good!! We didnt go out in Alice last night with the tour crew, both of us were absolutely wrecked! Instead we got cleaned up (hot water alleluia!) and had dinner and drinks at Toddy's bar/restaurant. Settled for $5 spaghetti bolognese again! Lovely and such good value!

It's Sinéad eve!! (we fly to Melbourne tomorrow to stay with Carols sister Sinéad and David - our whole reason for the trip to Oz). I didn't see Carol this excited at our wedding! Hmmm...

Woke up next to another French couple who obviously had the same ideas as us somewh...

We were woken up at 5.30am (I say woken, but I had been awake since 2.30am due to the mice crawling all over my swag). Many of the campers didn't get 1 minute sleep.

We seen at least 3 mice running around the bus that morning and one brave girl onboard discarded of 2 (in a humane...

Woke up about 5.15am for day 1 of our rock tour. The tour involved visiting great places like Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon and of course, the rock itself, Uluru also known as Ayers Rock. Was definitely looking forward to this one!! Had complimentary breakkie in hostel which was tea & toast. Basic but it did the job. We were collected by Rock Tour bus and our guide Rachelle just after 6am. Noticed early on that there were nearly 900,000 kms up on the bus. Only i...
