Hi Everyone, I know that this has been a long time coming. Well, here we are. Our last night in NZ and it's gone so quickly. We're currently in Auckland before we fly out to Fiji in the morning and then I'll be home in 3 weeks. After Franz Josef we headed to Queenstown (via and awesome stop off in Wanaka - a quirky cinema and a place called Puzzleworld - right up my street!). Queenstown was amazing - a small but exciting town with Fergburgers, The World Bar (...

Ki Ora here from NZ! Well it has been a busy week here and we are well into our tour of the South Island before we head North up to Auckland. We arrived into Christchurch after a relatively stress free trip from Cairns (although was very sad to leave Australia). Stayed at BASE in Christchurch which was a fun hostel and we had some really fun roommates (however we have just found out from one of them that there were hoards of bedbugs planting eggs in our room...

Since i last wrote from Airlie Beach we travelled north to Townsville where we got the ferry across to Magnetic Island (i...

Anyway...the adventure continues... We left Byron Bay and headed for Brisbane, via a ZORBING site - which is with a giant rubber ball, full of water - you climb inside and they roll you down a hill - there are some pictures of Damo doing this (DAMO just ...

Well, here we are in Byron Bay - the weather's been amazing although the sky's looking very overcast today so expecting some rain! Byron Bay is a small town on the East Coast - just south of Brisbane (which is our next stop). Yesterday we visited a place called 'Nimbin' with 'Jim's Alternative Tours' - Jim was a legend. It was hilarious although at the same time quite scary as Nimbin is Australia's Cannabis Capital - everywhere we went people tried to sell us dru...
