I was staying with some freinds in Sydney who have a house in North Brigde. My Geography is pretty bad but it's effectively north sydney (north of the harbour bridge). The first couple of days I had a look around the local area visiting Clive Park which ... Read more >

Day 212: Another boring day in Darwin

Wed, 4 Jun 2008 | By markr_mcmahon | Views [702]

Wednesday 4th June There wasn't a great deal to look forward to in Darwin except more relaxation. Most of the folk in the hostel were either working or just lazing about the pool and this came as quite a contrast to the period of activity that I ... Read more >

Rockhampton - cattle capital and rather pretty for all that.

Mon, 2 Jun 2008 | By allwelcome | Views [2413]

The old sandstone buildings are being restored, the botanical gardens are pretty (I loved the Japanese garden and huge golden bamboo), and we now sit in the Rockhampton Art Gallery sipping coffee and indulging our lap top caprice. ... Read more >
