Happy New Year! Hope you all had fantastic christmases - I was on Fraser Island for three days (the largest sand island in the world) which was brilliant (although it wasn't sunny - so much for my boiling hot oz christmas!) Was with a fantastic group of people (as has been the case most of the way down the East Coast) which helped make it all the more special. No man made roads on the island so everyone has to use 4wd - quite scary at times especially as three ...

Currently in a very hot Cairns - had a trip to snorkel on the barrier reef y'day which was great - swan next to a turtle!

Had a great time in Alice Springs - Ayres Rock was fantastic - we were th...

Bus journey was bot ...

Hello everyone! Had jampacked few weeks - lots and lots of travelling - currently in Siem Reap - got up at 4:30 this morning to see the sunrise in Angkor Wat - really amazing but its only midday now and everybodies really tired! Spent the past two nights in Phnom Pehn which I loved - Cambodia is such a great country - everyone's far more relaxed here than in Vietnam. Went to the killing fields the other day - extremely emotionally draining experience - really m...
