Ever since embarking on my Australian adventure I’ve wondered how I’d spend my last full 24 hours in this glorious country. In the surf? Topping up my tan? On a crazy tour?
Turns out it’s the small things that matter.

11 Down, 1 to Go…
12 09 2010Half way through today I was informed by Kez that today marks the start of my final month in Australia – I fly from Sydney on October 12th.

East Coast Planning
4 09 2010After living in Byron for over 5 months I’m now in the throws of planning my last 6 weeks in Australia.

11 06 2010Last night I said a fond farewell to Mr Griffiths, who – for the last 2 and a half months – has been my best mate in Oz.
It’s been a fun bromance!

13 of us hired a convoy of Getz’s……ok…..3 Getz’s……and hit the road up to Crystal Cascades…..a freshwater plunge pool……for a day of team bonding type antics! Read the rest of this entry »

Cape Tribulation
6 11 2009Word of advice to travellers….if you can do it off your own back you’ll save yourself alot of dollar!
In this instance Cape tribulation was going to cost us around $160 per person. Instead me, the 2 dannys, linzi and becky managed to do it for $60 per person including accomodation – now that a hefty saving that can be used towards goon supplies! Read the rest of this entry »
