My last few days before flying home had me helping out at the MacMedic store by refining their current marketing campaign and going on a little road trip of the coastline south of Sydney with Adrian. I think if you click on the link you’ll be able to see the birthday promotion that I helped […]

Kakadu and Katherine
by Bertha on 18. May, 2009 in Australia 2009
My 3 day tour of the 2 parks in the Northern Territory was great. The beginning of the dry season and the tourists haven’t all arrived yet so the parks were not crowded. Even my tour was only 10 people so it was very intimate. My guide was very good at giving tons of information […]
Aldinga Eco Village
by Bertha on 13. May, 2009 in Australia 2009
I spent last night with Kev, Lu and Rora at their eco village. They are 140 units in this village and they are building a home using straw bales and everything recycled. It’s pretty cool. The village has a community pizza oven, metal/woodworking shop and an outdoor movie theatre. Had a great time getting to […]

1.5 Weeks away!
by Bertha on 22. Apr, 2009 in Australia 2009, Canada 2006
Yes, well, I’m looking at a really long layover in LAX, about 14 hours or something so I think I’m going to see if there are any city tours that take you to and from the airport. Looks promising but costs $80.00USD. And I’ll have to look into whether my luggage is going to automatically […]
