Driving to Mt. Cook - spending a few hours hiking in the area. On the way back to Lake Tekapo, we got the idea of taking a flight over the area - probably the most spectacular scenery I've ever seen. It was an amazing flight - almost like a dream. If you think the photos look great - you should've …

these are photos from different trips around Australia

A collection of pictures from the beautiful island of Palau!

Not a great deal to report here. The usual deadly 2 hours in an airport, but the 3 hour journey seemed a doddle compared to recent ones. Arrived at Cairns airport to blistering sun and the coach transfer to Port Douglas ready and waiting. One hour later, I was deposited at the Bay Villas apartmen…

Kirsti & Barry picked me up 1st thing this morning from the hostel and we went for a day at Whitemans Park, 1st stop was the zoo, we fed the kangaroos again, then I got a cuddle with a Wombat, poor thing just wanted to go to sleep, instead it got passed around for photo opportunities.....then K…

12/04/06 Arrived into Darwin very bleery eyed at 4.30am to encounter the typical aussie laid back attitude. Our shuttle bus didn't turn up for ages and then when it did he went inside to have a coffee leaving us all outside! When we eventually got to the hostel we were impressed at how clean and …

The second day in Sydney we met my friend Rowan for lunch. We went to Darling Harbour to a Thai restaurant, the food was good and I knew I will not see any Asian food for a while when we travel in the Northern Territory and in the North of Western Australia, so I was really enjoying the food! …

I took the scenic 30 minute ferry from Circular Quay to Manly - complete with amazing views of Sydney harbour - for a day of lying on the beach in the sunshine.Manly: lovely beach, lots of surf shops, but poor calamari!

So, what didn't you know about Sydney?1. The 'sails' of the Sydney Opera House are covered in bathroom tiles.2. There is no such thing as a pot in New South Wales, only a schooner. (Which is neither here nor there.)3. The top arch of the Harbour Bridge rises and falls about 180mm purely because of …

..so we ended up going to the falls rather karekare today. We just thought we'd have a quick walk up before heading off for the day.When we got to the falls it was so peaceful and serene we ended up staying and having a swim in the FREEZING water - thus ending all the serenity through our screamin…

We could only stay the one night at Adobe Motels as they were fully booked for the next night; our final night in Cairns, in Australia in fact for this visit. We decide it would be rather nice to go out for breakfast on the waterfront of Cairns, so we drove down to the docks at the begining of the …

finally arrived in Brisbane but my trip is not over yet. I took the train from the international to the domestic airport and only a few hours to get on the next flight! At least I got some sleep on the plane so I felt quite awake! But I was not awake enough because I lost my passport!! I was so luc…

Day 2 In Fiji   So I woke up at about 4:00 in the morning (slowly getting used to the time zone) and watched the sunrise. Very nice. Then Melissa and I went to pick up Neno to go… skydiving! Originally it was supposed to be Melissa and I go up , and then Neno, but due to different complic…
