I arrived in Melbourne and had booked 2 nights in a private room to get myself ready for the next stage of my trip. I should have booked into a dorm, the hotel had some school kids staying, OMG they are worse than drunken backpackers. Anyway I managed to sort out my trip from Cairns to Brisbane including stops at Cape Tribulation, Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, Whitsundays and Magnetic Island, i would need a mortgage to do anything more it is quite expensive here. I am spending just over a week in Melbourne. So far I have booked trips to Phillips Island to see the Pengiuns and Koalas and then a tour on the Great Ocean Road, inbetween I am chilling on the beach and trying to get upto date on my blog. I head to Sydney on the 25th and stop off at Canberra on the way. I have about 10 days in Sydney and need to organise trips there once I arrive. I will be near BRisbane for Christmas with family friends and then going to help at a racing stables for about 2 weeks. I am really looking forward to being around horses again and in the sunshine. I will try and keep upto date with my blog in Aus but when I am over on the islands I doubt there will be internet access. Keep in touch. xxx
