So we took the car and sped our way up to Coral Bay.. 2500km return trip with so many memories :)

I went to Australia with a program called People to People Student Ambassador Programs, founded by United States President Eisenhower in 1956. We went to many places around the country and it was an amazing journey! Please enjoy the blog! (I am sorry for not updating it fully, but it will be done soon! Thank you for waiting!)

The clear tropical North Queensland winter weather prompted a SWIT Guide trip to Broadwater Creek. In recent times, extensive forestry operations have taken place in the vicinity of Broadwater Creek National Park, resulting in the removal of many pine trees.  This enabled us to admire the vast expanses of the mountainous escarpment scenery from the road. Upon our arrival at the camping area, Otto took us on the Broadwater Creek Overflow Walk.  The water at the Overflow was c…

Everytime I come back to the Margaret River region, it really makes me appreciate the beauty of the Australian landscape. Sure, it may be a lot drier, browner and sparser than other areas of the world, it may lack people or facilities, but it resonates with me, and makes me remember why I'm so glad to call this part of the world home (or at least, sort of close to it!).Margaret River is famous for it's surfing and it's wineries, and we had a surfeit of beaches and wine tasting to last us for …

10am. Checklist time…. Passport • Check eTicket - Check Travel Insurance • Check Packed bag full of clothes - ……   Obviously what ensued was a day of frantic packing, and drying of clothes in the spare bedroom with the heater on full heat, but I did it; by 3.30ish I was packed, and ready to go, my first overseas trip awaited me. Pallavi & Kieran escorted me to Corrimal station, where I joined the a-l-l stations train up to Sydney & then the airport (surprisingly …

Went with a mission... to exhibit my art work in Penrith.. What became... an unplanned road trip, great cultural experience with my good bud Sari.. i miss you...

Reaching our daily goal?    Reaching our weekly goal?  What activities have we added to help reach our goal?

one fine saturday morning, the three of us decided to go trekking from balmoral beach, which is roughly 30 minutes from sydney cbd by bus (york street depot), to manly beach (one of the northern beaches which is roughly over 30 minutes by ferry from circular quay).  we packed our backpacks and filled it with 1 liter of water, bananas, apples and nuts. we caught the bus from york street ($4 one way) and got off at military road and walked down to the beach. we walked up and stopped at t…

I booked my trip through Airlie Beach Central Reservations with a clear intent to visit Whitehaven Beach & snorkelling in the one day on a trip with low number of people.Thought i had it all covered until the boat arrived in a bay and the Mantaray staff asked us to walk 250m to a lookout and then down to beach.Walk was actually just under 2km - no warning from Central Reservation or Mantaray about that?! I had to do this in thongs carrying a beach towel??!!Great view at the lookout, …

Went away for a quick trip to Sydney for a bit of R&R from the busy rushing by of life.  Left afternoon of the 14th of October and came back 19th of Oct.  I flew from Auckland and met my older sister Nicola and three of her friends that flew in from Christchurch.  Stayed at the Meriton Pitt Street Apartments which was a great place to stay, central city, handy to everything, self catering but serviced everyday. It was the first trip overseas for my sister and it was quite …

Well I'm finally home after about 20 hours of flying. Heathrowe airport was an interesting experience with all its security. I've never had to take my shoes off for a seperate screening before! First flight went pretty quickly. Had a two hour layover in Dubai before the 10hours onto Australia. We had a bit of turbulence across the Indian ocean but apart from that the flight was pretty good. Emirates is definently the best airline i've flown, they have the best food and more space then other p…

Just seeing who is out there! =)
