365 KM1 September 2011 I find Australia's country side I have experianced so far simily reminds me of American Horrors - niaeve kids driving in the middle of nowhere, and all of a sudden the mad man appears on the road .... urgh.God I can hardly write it without creaping myself out.This evening we arrived into Kurunda, with the advise from the book that its such a nice place after the tourists go home.We have since found that is incorrect.We arrived abou...

190 KM30 August- 1 September 2011 It was Sarah's turn to drive!The pace was a little slower but I certinally enjoyed the bus!The steering wheel is just like that of a bus and the wing mirrors are broken so they flatten to the sides when you drive above 40km!Most speed limits are around 60-80Km but on the big roads go up to 100 KM.Feels like your flying with the added wind factor rocking the beast!The roads seemed to go quiet, and the land spread around us as we ...

The difference in price here is astronomical.Even a sandwich costs 7 - 15 AUS$.I am really pleased that we have chosen to get a campervan as the cost of hotels an...

Lucy and I were surprised when our anticipated 4 hour journey to Singapore turned into a 4 hour journey! Nevertheless we had some fun on the road, as wel as getting through customs and collecting a couple more stamps on the passport! I'm not going to lie its starting to look rather full! So proud!With not tooo much hassel we were released into the country - my first impression? Well its not all that clean and I certinally don't see police policing the streets! Sa...
