Took a 2 day trip with a friend from Melbourne, (Moike!), and we stopped for some fantastic views and at a wildlife sanctuary before “trekking” into the rainforest to swim in a river. The water was about 17C! The place we stayed in the rainforest was not that good, I felt it was very commercial […]

Rottnest Island
by Bertha on 03. Jun, 2006 in Australia 2005
My bum is so sore and my thighs are burning still from biking the entire day on the holiday island of Rottnest. The Sandgropers (Perth people) use it as a holiday place since it’s so close. About an hour’s ferry from the city centre. I haven’t touched a bike in 10 years + not counting […]

Pinnacles
by Bertha on 03. Jun, 2006 in Australia 2005
Went to the Pinacles on my first of 2 days off before flying out to Cairns. Woke up at the crazy hour of 6am to catch my tour bus. I went not really expecting much of the Pinnacles, how spectacular is a bunch of rocks sticking out of sand anyways? But it was pretty impressive […]

Eveline invited everyone from the Hotel to come to my goodbye dinner at our workplace. It was great and we gave the waiters on shift a bit of a hard time but it’s fun! Eating out on the Terrace is Evy, me, Canadian Steve, Malaysian Emil, Tassie Chef Sean this is what the restaurant looks […]
Something interesting
by Bertha on 01. Jun, 2006 in About Me
Just a little map showing where all my vistors have come from within the last 24 hours. Thought it might be interesting… OR it could show that no one visits my site. Either way I’m going to try and leave it on the top since I don’t know how to put it in the side […]
I’m Never Working Again!

STOMP!
by Bertha on 27. May, 2006 in Australia 2005
Both Evy and I had Friday night off!!! WOOHOO! Had a bit of trouble coming up with something to do. This normally wouldn’t be such a big issue if we were still in the apartment, cuz we’d be able to chill out on the couch at the apartment. Unfortunately for us, we’ve moved back to […]
Out of Commission
by Bertha on 25. May, 2006 in Australia 2005
Tuesday night I suffered food poisoning and got Andrea to take me to the hospital after 5 hours of trying to cope with it on my own. Lucky for me, the ER wasn’t busy and I got into a trolley(bed on wheels) right away and a doctor saw me within an hour. Discharged at 3am. […]
