Southward Bound...

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 | By whippin_picadilly | Views [1181]

I don’t really believe in fate or the idea that you’re life is on a set course, but sometimes things present themselves in a way that you just have to accept as the way it’s meant to be.   As I’m sitting on the internet, pouring over maps on ... Read more >

The New World

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 | By count_zero | Views [396] | Comments [1]

My first taste of Australia was unfortunately tainted by an awful flight from Singapore. Sitting behind Lydia and I were two children who obviously didn’t get enough exercise and saw our seat-backs as their personal gym. So between scowling at ... Read more >

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 | By littlepipes | Views [272]

Set off today driving through the Hunter Valley. Absolutely gorgeous scenery with rolling green hills, quaint farm houses and fantastic wildlife.  We went wine tasting at a few of the vineyards. I was feeling quite nervous about this as I hadn't been ... Read more >

Emus, Kangaroos and Goats... A Wildlife Suicide Mission!!!

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 | By lex | Views [639]

The road trip back to Perth was taken pretty slowly, primarily to allow us to experience many of the amazing national parks and small coastal towns on the way, but also due to the roads... The roads were pretty monotonous - hour after hour of single ... Read more >

Vegas

City of lights! Vegas was great! Flying in over the desert from LA it is amazing to see it appear out of nowhere, and the lights at night are stunning! The old strip - Freemont Street - casinos were our favourites - Main Street casino was excellent, ... Read more >

The Car Thing

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 | By roamingstar | Views [271]

A Whistlestop Tour of Brisvegas

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 | By whippin_picadilly | Views [1615]

The train is eerily quiet. The only noise is the high pitch squeal of the train wheels against the tracks, yet the carriage is packed with suburban types. It’s a sign that I’m in a city. It’s a bizarre concept that the more people you ... Read more >

Season's Greetings

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 | By josdent | Views [766] | Comments [4]

As this is the season of goodwill, I hope you will forgive the lack of conventional Christmas cards this year, given the circumstances. Instead, I thought I'd make y'all an e-card of sorts and post it up here. So, to those of you that celebrate the Christianised ... Read more >

Cairns

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 | By josdent | Views [793]

The day I left Airlie Beach was almost entirely given over to travelling. I usually try and get night buses so I can sleep through the long distances but it wasn't really possible this time. It wasn't so bad though, as the views out the window were interesting ... Read more >

The Bright Lights of Brisvegas

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 | By whippin_picadilly | Views [1216]

After spending the majority of the past few weeks in the bush and small country towns, driving towards the bright lights of Brisbane is a daunting prospect.   Four lane highways, skyscrapers and enough surrounding concrete to keep a Bangkok ... Read more >

Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 | By josdent | Views [1303]

The overnight bus deposited me in Airlie beach at around 6:30am and already the Farmer's Market by the beach was almost ready to open. I put my luggage into storage and set about exploring. The beach is fairly uninspiring, but you can't go in the sea ... Read more >

Okay, I've finally gotten around to updating the galleries with all the pictures from my trip between Brisbane (including new Brisbane ones) and Cairns. There's about eight new galleries! So now you can at least get an idea about what I'm getting excited ... Read more >
