....everybody needs good neighbours" We succumbed to the ultimate cheesiest tour this morning - The Official Neighbour's Tour.  We were picked up at 8.15am by the big bus with neighbours all over it (we were glad it picked us up round the corner from the hostel).  On the bus we were trea…

So after spending the guts of 4 days getting absolutely no sleep at night and hitting some serious need for sleep at around lunch time every day, I hit Sunday, where I grabbed a whole 11 1/2 hours sleep ALRIGHT! Now THAT was what I needed to kick that jet lag into the next millenium. I have trave…

The giant clown entrance to Luna Park puts you back to an earlier hit-by-the-depression Asbury Park-like time. It's an oddly frightening way to welcome you to an amusement park. It's a small park, with the trusty old wooden rollercoaster and traditional amusement park smell. St. Kilda; Melbourne's…

Melbourne to Perth ( Nullabor) September 1st 2007   Hey there Melbournians, I promised an email so here goes.   On the start of my journey the drive was easy, going through Horsham and plenty of country towns, at this stage I thought I was out whoop whoop but little did I know what …

Some random pics from my random travels

My reasons to stay in Melbourne are to use it as a base for exploring surrounding regions such as Grampians National Park, explore wineries in the Yarra Valley and visit Dandenong ranges ,lazing on beaches on the Mornington Peninsula and drive the magnificent Great Ocean Road . I spend my nightlif…

Yes, the time has come for me to gear up for my upcoming trip literally and figuratively. In 2 days I will be departing for another adventure, this time a two month adventure across south-east Africa. I thought I would share my packing list for comment...it's never too late to add a few things in, …

Hi Everybody, Don't have much time to update this at the moment.  I am back from the west coast but barely as I almost missed my flight (the airport shuttle forgot me).  With a few tears, a really nice taxi driver and an airline that doesn't really give a crap, I made it on my 9am flight…

Ok so i might have spontaneously booked this trip... and I may have only had to wait 2 days, but its killing me!!Yesterday and today have been the slowest days in History. My flight is at 12:15am tonight... So i've still got about 4 hours until i'll leave for the airport. I'm all packed and ready t…

See the title, we're supposed to head back to Singapore but the problem was due to our local flight from Melbourne to Sydney. There was like an hour delay. And by the time we reached Sydney Airport, our Qantas flight to Singapore had already left. We went to talk to the Qantas helpdesk nearby and s…

Sal took me to the animal sanctuary. I can't remember the name of the place, but it was really cool, with lots of animals I've wanted to see. The echidna is a big favourite of mine, they're so cute with their long noses :)There were also all sorts of other animals, and lots and lots of birds. I got…

Ik ben vandaag op tijd opgestaan om "afscheid" te nemen van Melbourne. Even nog een blik op het strand werpen en ik wilde nog een foto hebben van het mooie, door de zon verweerde huis dat sun-blest heet.  Aan de overkant van dit huis is de Botanische tuin. Ik heb er nog een stukje do…

Before moving to Sydney in 2005, i was living in Melbourne - it was where I was born and where I grew up.  Its a great city, filled with different cultures and activities.  The nightlife is great here and the shopping is fantastic - not to mention the restaurants. But it is true what…
