The beginning of November i arrived in Darwin in Aus, stayed there a few days until the contiki tour started. which was 4 full on weeks, of lots of traveling,early morning starts and late to beds! first two weeks we saw northern territory, and down to central Australia to alice springs, saw ares rock, kings canyon, devils marbles, bush tucker tours, how the aborigines lived. we ate kangaroo tail too, which was pritty rank!And saw ulru sunrise and sunset with champagne which was defo a highlight!!!

We slept in sawgs (these bag things) under the stars and played drinking games around the camp fire was another highlight!! met some really lovely people.

Tried some crocodile,and emu too. Emu was really rank didnt like that at all.There is lots more but i will have 2 update u with that when i see you. Said good bye to my roomies Lauren and Julie, which was emotional!!!

After getting a flight from alice springs to carns, we continued the contiki tour down the east coast.I loved the est coast it was stunning.we went on a two day sail in the whit sundays, went scuba diving in the great barrier reef, swam with the biggest fish ever. went white water rafting and paddled 11 miles was very challenging to stay in the boat. Had a surfing lesson which was ace and i actually managed to stand up a couple of times :). We spent alot of the time traveling, it gave me a taste of what i wanted to go bak to but felt like a world wind! oh and i had a flight in a tiger moth plane that was ace!!!We ended the tour in Sydney.
