southern Melbourne

We found a nice small inn in southern Melbourne yarra area of St Arnaud. It is managed by a small Irish pair named Maria and Bill. They love ..... They are only human beings, right! The territory is so sweet, very close to the city and the botanical garden are the foundation of the road and...

A Day at Darling Harbour - Night 44

The weather proved to be dour again today, as the clouds hung low over the top of the concrete jungle’s canopy. Outdoors the elements were more like a November day in Seattle than Sydney. For lunch we had American cuisine, large juicy burgers from Burgerlicious, a Red Robin-esque chain...

Manly Museum - Night 43

The weather was as poor as predicted and it rained intermittently throughout the day, so inside activities it was. After lunch at Wrapido, we met the girls at the Marriot and walked a few blocks to the Museum on College Street. Basically a natural history museum, it also had a current exhibit...

Bondi Beach - Night 42

Paolo and I met the girls at the Town Hall station to catch our train out to the world famous Bondi Beach. About an hour away, Bondi is located on the far eastern reaches of Sydney in a small cove along the Pacific Ocean. The sky was cloudy all morning, but the sun broke through just as we...

Sydney Walkabout - Night 41

I awoke from my air mattress in the dining room rather late and it was nearly 10:30 by the time Paolo and I had made our way into the city to meet the girls. The others were dead set on seeing the zoo; I was not, so we went our separate ways for the day. For me traveling in groups is difficult...

Big Things #38

The Big Pineapple, Gympie, Queensland. Its a big, pineapple shaped thing. I'm pretty sure this will be the last Big Thing I see in Australia. I know I've missed a lot out as I've travelled round which upsets me enough to consider going out and finding something resembling a...

Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 20

Due to lack of funds we just mad dashed to Brisbane today and arrived early afternoon. All we missed out on was Noosa (another same as before seaside town) and Australia Zoo and that's where I'll finish this road trip story because it's already reached mammoth proportions and I'm sure most of...

Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 19

Like the Whitsundays there's shit loads of choice when you go to Fraser Island. The most popular are the 2 night 3 day self drive tours but you can also get guided tours ranging from one to three days or you can take yourself and your 4WD over and explore it that way provided you can be bothered...

Arrival in Sydney - Night 40

We were all packed up, checked out and in the cab on the way to the airport by 10 am. Our five days in Noosa were enjoyable and relaxing (and fairly cheap), though I wouldn’t want to spend any more than that there. It is slow-paced, family oriented place that doesn’t offer much in the way of...
