I flew from Adelaide to Melbourne today. It was hard leaving Adelaide as I had a great time there, largely helped by Scott having days off, and the festival preview happening while I was there.I managed to have a few beers, go for dinner, drive around for a day (thanks for the car Scott) and [...]

So it was a quiet day in and around Adelaide when I drove around in Scott’s car. A trip to Glenelg, the shark museum, the internet, NZ guidebook purchase, and that was about it. On my way back to town I met Scott and his fellow Adelaide restauranteurs, a bit caned after a day tasting [...]
I’ve updated my gallery – see link on right hand side. I’d write more about the last few days but as usual I’ve been online for a while, achieving not very much! I arrived in Adelaide yesterday and was greet with a mere 18c temperature! I thought I was ready for some cooler weather, but not [...]
We visited Kings Canyon on the last day of our three day tour. It was great to get the hiking boots on again and have a good walk around the canyon rim. When we started it was 28c, and a couple of hours later it was 36c, and it was still only 10am. The temperatures [...]

Came back from my three day trip to Uluru, Kings Canyon and the Olgas today. Just dashing out to grab food and beers with some of the crowd, then picked up again at 0630!…to spend 5hr going down the same road I ame up today – not the best planning. Coober Peedy better be worth [...]

I fly to Alice Springs in a few hours, and already say goodbye to the west coast. There’s far less people here (at least for a few years yet!), and you can swim in the sea I can’t believe I’ve been in the area for almost a week as it’s flown by, catching up [...]
How good is this? Need to get more booze? No need to leave your car to shop! Pablo in the drive through bottle shop.
Yesterday was a pretty chilled out day with even more plans falling into place. I was a bit slow after trying to drag Pablo into having a few beers at his BBQ the night before (he drastically needed the hair of the dog after his works night out on Friday). They treated me to my second BBQ this [...]

Yesterday was a Good Day. I woke up not too early, grabbed a bike from the hostel, and cycled the 2km to the dive shop, Cave Dive. I kitted up, and jumped in the pick up for a lift to the dive boat. 5mm full wetsuits! Jeez, the first time ever, and I ended up [...]
