Today I performed another wedding ceremony.  It turned out to be a lovely day weather wise. The forecast was not good so we were glad that it was wrong.  The wedding was in a park. The flowers are blossoming. How pretty it is. Not a great story but it was a lovely day and I just wanted…

This day we went to a wildlifepark which was very close to the house of shirley and andrew. At this wildlife park there was a posibility to hold a koala! I was really looking forward for it. We arrived about 45 minutes before and just watched the other animals which was really nice. It was time to …

I’m sitting on a plane bound for Perth and trying to fight off the sleep. After two late nights out in Singapore with plenty of beers and five days of extensive travelling I’m pretty done for. I don’t want to sleep though, I love flying. Taking off being arguably the best part, I usually rave…

It is half past midnight and I’m sat looking at three large motorbike pannier bags, filled with everything I have.  I traded my two backpacks with these bags, which Dave kindly lent me, because I’m planning to buy a motorbike to travel around New Zealand for the next two and a half month.&…

After a nice and quiet departure from Hong Kong (I fell asleep even before the plane took off), I wake up in the airplane and look out of the window: I can see the continent of Australia. Well... See..? It’s quite foggy outside so I can’t really see much of the country I’ll be travelling thro…

Mick and Bev were back at work today, so it was flying solo foir the day. I'd decided upon Victor Harbour after due consulatation as being accessible and by the coast. Brother had generously (sportingly, foolishly.. insert your own adjective here) agreed to lend me his car for the day. I set off …

Today was jam-packed as it was my last day in Adelaide.  We had planned to hike up Mt.  Lofty, but we spent too long in bed so drove up it instead - the views across Adelaide were great!  Back down to earth we went to the first AFL match of the season - Port Adelaide vs. Geelong.&nbs…

This morning early we join a group for ten days expedition, starting from Alice Spring to Adelaide to cross the real Outback, an unique wildlife experience to discover the center of Australia and to can meet and understand arboriginal community.We sleep in Swags under a million stars, with outback …

Australian culture and language is a fair bit different from American or English (as I previously commented here and here), but within Australia we are boringly homogenous. Oh, there are subtle differences in accent that locals can pick (with South Australia a hint more British, eastern Australia a…

Well, my six months are almost up. In just four very short days I'll be on a plane back home. It's a bit strange, but at the same time I'm really looking forward to going home, I have no energy left for travelling. at least not this time. But i keep thinking I'll be back someday, and not too far in…

Ok, so I've started packing up my backpack this morning, and organising a few last-minute things before I leave for LA tomorrow! I can't wait to fly out - just 24 short hours and I'll be at the Adelaide airport ready to get on the plane! I'm taking 'Persuasion' by Jane Austen as my flight-readi…

Adelaide Hills is another great wine region of Australia, well known for the cooler climate wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris. I have worked in the wine industry for 16 years now, but never get tired of seeing the many colours of the vines and their surroundings, s…

I've had a great experience in a small town called Aldgate in a high-elevated area of Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Aldgate is located about 12 miles southeast of the South Australia's gorgeous capital, Adelaide. Adelaide Hills has several charming little towns: Stirling, Aldgate, and Bridgewate…

It was in the quaint city of Adelaide that I spent the bulk of my Oz experience. A friend and a free place to stay were calling my name. So while most backpackers (and Australians) tend to skip over the South Australian town, it became my home. I found a job, made some friends, saw some stuff. All …
