Time to unpack the bags

We arrived in Byron in the early afternoon and it was a chance to unpack my bags and relax as we were going to be here for 5nights. Byron Bay is the most easterly point of Australia and a bit of a party town. Luckily or unluckily for us we arrived right in the middle of Schoolies (Schoolies is...

Arrawarra Surf Camp

After minimal sleep due to the emmense snoring capabilites of the legendary Irish Vinnie it was another early start which I was gonna have to get used to. The weather had changed from the cloudy drizzle and thunderstorms we had yesterday to beautiful warm sunshine and no clouds to be seen, time...

Night Kayaking!!

This is where my travels begin!! After lazing around in Sydney for a month and a bit, it was about time I got out and saw some the country. Having not got up much before 11 o'clock previously while being in Oz the 5.30am start was a little harsh. Especially since i hadnt finished packing my bag...

kats hungover and im bored

Hey kids far and wide.... this we have decided is a far easier way to track our travels and let people read what were doing, out of choice, not by evil and most irritating emails, addressed to 'enough people to fill a town hall' (Oscar Lawrence, 26.11.06, pp 12) We are currently resting...

A Day at the Races!

Surfers Paradise sticks to the formula of most resort towns, but on a bigger, flasher scale. Our arrival coincided with the Melbourne Cup. This is the biggest race day in Australia and we decided to use this as an excuse to get dressed up and spend the day drinking champagne at the Surfers...

Getting settled in Melbourne

I’ve been here in Melbourne just about a month now, so I thought it was about time that I wrote something about what I’ve been up to. The only problem is the complete lack of photos to add to this entry - I keep on forgetting to take my camera out with me when I do go out, and I’ve been too...

The Motor Show

The International Motor Show was in town at the Sydney Convention Center, so we were hoping to see some fantastic cars and bikes! While we werent disappointed overall, especially considering a healthy Ferrari, Maserati and Ssanyong presence this was no Geneva or London Motor Show. Saying this,...

Across The Nullabor: Day 4

After completing the slow and painful rehydration process and getting a good internet fix we hit the dirt track to Hyden which is the shortest distance west. Hyden is home to another of Australia's famous Rocks With Names, Wave Rock, so called because its shaped like a big wave. I'm starting...

Across The Nullabor: Day 3

Word of advice. If you're going to fall asleep outside or kip in a swag, don't forget the insect repellant. I woke up with a few bites on my face, Kliff had War and Peace in Braille down one side of his mush, I swear down we counted over 100 bites. It was a bloody hot day, must have been 40C,...
