Right guys I have finally arrived at the Gold Coast for a months golf at the Australian Golf Academy. I am staying in a town called Robina, about 10 minutes from the beach. This is the heart of the gold coast, with places such as surfers paradise only a few miles down the road. The entire area is golfing heaven. There are dozens of golf courses all with 5 miles of where I am staying and they all have houses built all the way around them. Its perfect for me. I a...

After arriving safely in Sydney we booked into a youth hostel, which was situated right in the town centre, right next to China Town. We were starving so we went straight out and had Chinese food. After that it was time to head down to the harbour and explore. We took a boat out to the Sydeny Opera House and the Bridge. We stopped and had a beer at a smart bar outside the Opera House and watched an incredible sunset. In the evening we watched a movie in the hoste...

We landed in Fiji, in the capital city Nadi at around 5pm and got a taxi to our youth hostel on the beach, 10 minues out of town.

It landed on my leg and was the size of my hand; it was the most horrible thing I have ever seen. Luckily a local came to my help and swotted it away. It was a sunday eve...

Well guys, its been a while since my last entry and a lot has happened since then. I am currently in Brisbane staying with my family before heading down to the Gold Coast later today. The last time I left you was in Queenstown, having been river surfing (did anyone see the news report about the 21 year old girl who sadly died the week after us river surfing?) That really shocked us guys, an awful story!! Anyway - the following day we spent the morning in Quee...

This morning, after some heavy overnight rain we chilled out about town, took it fairly easy. Joel, having missed out on the bungy the day before, decided it was in fact time for him to try and do it. We drove out to Kawarau Bridge, a historical sight in the world of bungy jumping because this is the home of the sport - where it all began. We all just watched and took pictures as Joel braved it by himself - it is far easier having some mates behind you giving you...
