Well, where do a begin telling you about my escapades this week? Last Wednesday Amanda and Mike turned up at 7am to pick me up ready for our journey. I think they were slightly put off by the amount of bags I had, but we'll not worry about that too much. We also picked up a guy called Melvin from Holland, who was wanting a lift to Kununurra (our first destination.) All was going well on the 9 hour drive until we got about 100k from Kununurra, and the c...

It's all been going down here this week. Started work last Monday, and didn't really enjoy it all that much to be honest, which was probably a good thing cos on Friday I got sacked! haha Absolutely hysterical! I instantly thought, now that's something to write about in my journal. So as you do I went out (with Nads) and got very drunk, and just had an enjoyable night drinking and pondering my next move. So, I could have gone around Darwin handing out th...

We arrived at the guest house early evening, and got settled in, before heading out just to check out Darwin quickly, and grab some beers and pizza.

The cyclone in 1974 completely wiped the city out, and so it's all very modern, and is really aimed towards backpackers. The guest house where we'll be working and living is great, as are Asia...

Well, I've travelled over 3000km since last talking to you all, so had a pretty busy fortnight. We left Townsville for Cairns a fortnight ago, although we weren't all that impressed really. We met with a couple of the lads from our sailing trip, which was good. The best thing we did from Cairns was go on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which is an hours journey through beautiful forests, and up some mountain which overlooks Cairns. It also passes past Stoney Cre...

Well, hello again everyone. Since last Monday we've had an action packed 7 days. From Hervey Bay we had a massive (to us) 5 hour drive to Rockhampton-some hicksville town in the middle of no where, which is famous for its cattle and beef! We pulled into the town to be greeted by a lifesize cow, and a flower display, displaying the word "BEEF' in big red flowers! Er-ok! We literally stopped there for the night and left as soon as we could in the morning...
