Lorne Travel Blogs

Traveled through Australia for 5 1/2 months, 1st month with a friend. After that on my own.

Australia II! How I love this place. We drove down the coast Hwy A1 from Sydney via Melbourne to Adelaide. What a great tour!

Summary: 4 weeks 5 countries 12 flights / 60hrs 'in the air' 2 ferries 3 car hire and many more ;) I and a friend of mine went on a trip to Australia and New Zealand. On the way to New Zealand we stopped for a few days in Tokyo, Japan. On our way back to good all Europe we stopped in Hong Kong and Macau.

3 weeks, halfway around Australia.

So this is our 2.5 year trip!! One year on the long and bumpy road of South and Central America. Our second year started off with 12 weeks in New Zealand, then we headed to Australia! Eagerly clutching our working holiday visas we stayed in Australia for one year for work and travel. The last leg of our 30-month trip was 3.5 months in SE Asia. (We are home now and oh how we miss travelling!)
