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

Yes, another summer at camp, and a chance to see a few more places in the USA...

While most people travel to sight-see, there is a select group of travellers who travel to shop. (My mum is one of them.) If you know me from Melbourne, you might wonder how the clothes seem to just appear in my cupboard every February, as I rarely shop in Australia. Well, South East Asia is the answer, and here are all my retail secrets revealed!

An Adventure never to forget!

Back home to a balmy 38° day. Too tired to take photos of our return.The things we have learnt from are adventures are:- American bread tastes sweet.- Air Canada sucks.- Give yourself atleast 90 minutes to check in at Munich airport.- You will put on 10lbs if you live on only burgers and chips (fries) for 6 weeks.Thank-you for following our adventures.

    Stage ??Hard to keep up really as we are still traveling at individuals.Dave and co have been to Aussie for a week swanning it on the Gold Coast and had a blast, while I ran around like a mad thing finishing work and packing.  Now I'm on the road, well in the air, winging my way to Glasgow for a conference.  Have a long way to travel yet... have just begun my journey and it is kinda a long way from New Zealand to Glasgow ... go on - look at a map - it is like acro...

Photos from a trip to Australia during July/August 2006.

Nous voila enfin à Melbourne... C'est un peu comme un chapitre qui se clos pour nous et un premier but atteint. Notre voyage n'étant pas clairement défini, seule la direction de quelques grandes villes nous guide, et Melbourne en est la première. Sinon, Melbourne n'a rien à envier à Sydney! Elle est en effet bien plus animée et décontractée. En bref, une ville où il fait bon vivre... Cependant, les villes ne sont pas l'attrait majeur de l'Australie même si elles valen...

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 and all sorts of other things going on in the city. I t took us about two hours to get into the city: in the car to Geelong, the train to Melbourne, and then change trains to go to another station. ...

i spent about 7 weeks in oz at the beginning of 2007. happy days - didn't have enough time to do the west coast though... next time :)

It's my birthday today and I get to choose my treat.   Kate comes over and we go to the best Yum Cha in the Melbourne suburbs at the Tai Pan.  Table for 7 includes 3 1/2 year old Simon and we say "Yes", to just about every dish that comes around!  Back to the house and the air conditioner and Kate decides that the fish tank needs cleaning.  Their owner Tina has been in London since about July and we think that she is the only one who cleans their tank.  So, Tina,...

As a part of my five month trip, I've spent little over four weeks in Australia.

We arrived in Melbourne on Wednesday afternoon and we were planning to stay with my cousin's best friend, Claire, who had recently moved over there. We thought it would be quite easy to find her house from the airport but unfortunately an unhelpful transport information worker sent us on a bit of a wild goose chase. We were both quite happy when we finally got there and it was really nice to see a familiar face after so long. We decided to go out for a meal and a few drinks as we were al...
