OK, that whole plan about keeping this blog up-to-date didn't really work out.  :)  The trip was amazing!!!  I have kept a journal and will endeavour to make a record of my trip here.  Why?  Well, I have time.  Also, I always wanted to be a journalist! :) A…

I leave in 16 days. I'm not sure what to pack. I still haven't picked up my passport. Or called westpac. Or called vodafone.   Having a going away party tomorrow night. How EXCITEMENT!

Well its less than a week till I head off on my 2 month adventure - nowhere near as much time as I'd like but all the time I have to spare at the moment with uni starting again in February. It's hard to believe that I can finally start to count down the days after booking the trip in May. I also ca…

Its late and of course I am still packing.  We had some playing shirt issues but they seem to be resolved,  Will have to wait for the sizing issues to sort themselves out I can only hope the players dont give me to much grief. Horrendously overpacked as usual but I will at least be able …

Amy, (amypants) had a birthday on Aug 16th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes and I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a photo of …

Mein letzter Tag in Melbourne! Ich habe angefangen, meine Sachen einzupacken und jene Dinge auszusortieren, von denen ich annehme, daß ich sie von nun an nicht mehr brauche, zB Moskitonetz, Reiseliteratur und defekte Kamera. All das wird sich wohl auf dem Postweg nach Hause begeben. Beim Einpacken…

Hi everybody this is my new diary page to keep you all up to date.  Ill try and update it frequently but you know how it is never being able to find Internet all the time.  Well hope you all have a happy new year and I'll keep you all posted

On the Monday we had planned to go into the city of Melbourne. This was probably not the smartest idea as it was the day before the Melbourne Cup (the most famous horse race in Australia), which meant a lot of people had taken the day off as they had the next day off anyway, and there was a parade …

This morning I noticed something strange - well, a few things strange.  My weekdays had set into an odd routine which is like a 'repeat' button on an old CD player. 6:15: Wake up 6:37: Done Shower.  Make breakfest: Vegemite on toast with protein shake. 7:03: Walk to the tram 7:17…

G'day travellers and road trippers....   I am thinking of heading down to Warrnambool this Saturday 19th (if another weekend would suit let me know I am flexible) then coming back along the great ocean road to soak up the scenery.  The plan would be to spend the night at…

Our first indication that we were in for a serious few days was the dramatic change in the temperature. Earlier in the day we had been hiding in the shade from the scorching heat, and only a few hours later, and a thousand metres higher, we realised that perhaps shorts and sandals were not going to…

Well, since this is my first time blogging, i thought i mite start right at the start, in Melbourne, well the northern surburbs of victoria. Its 11:17pm and i think i have officially finished packing for my china trip, which is in 10hours!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I cant believe Im going!!! Ill…

I was quite relaxed and looking forward to today's flight back to Melbourne considering that Air New Zealand is showing the new series of Flight of the Conchords.  Everything was going great until about 20 mins from Melbourne when we hit some of the worst turbulance I've ever experienced - wha…

Just thought i'd make this travelogue to show an overview of the places i've travelled in the last 10 years. In development!
