Bird’s Nest Bevarage – 25% bird’s nest

Sorry, these are all so old now, but i thought i should post some. These pictures are of my time on the Great Ocean Road.

Next we have the crew who set off on that mammoth journey along the great ocean road. Intrepid travellers, standing in front of the salt flats i spoke of.

Next pic is the obligatory…”I’m in Oz!!!” photo. Still on the GOR.

 

The lush Grampians! Remember the bush fire i spoke of….just starting to regrow. Quite Eerie.

Next pic is of the Grotto on the Great Ocean Road. No, that’s not Yassa Arafat in he picture, it’s me with my scarf on.

Here are the 12 Apostles… my fave place on the GOR.

 

More to come!

I’m so far behind on my blog. I must apologise to all my fans (!) who were eagerly awaiting my new posts. So here goes….

Just a quick note about Surfers before i get onto the next stage of my post. The one thing i did do there apart from sunbathe and party was ascend the highest residential towers in the world (and one of the top 20 highest towers on earth) via one of the fastest elevators in the world. It’s called Q1. From the observation area one can see all the way down to Byron, and all the way up to Brisbane. From that height Surfers actually looked quite nice. It totally dominates the skyline and so one can see everything from above. The views out to sea are spectacular.

Anyway, after leaving Surfers myself, Paul (Scotland), Mirthe (Germany) and Becky No.2 (UK) arrived at Brisbane and another Australian state; this time Queensland. The others only stayed on night before heading to Noosa so i was left to explore this city by myself before meeting other backpackers later on in the week.

‘Brisvegas’ is the 3rd largest city in Australia but is a large step down from Melbourne and Sydney. It’s quite provincial and not very substantial in any sphere (art, culture, cuisine, music, etc.) as far as i could tell. In saying this Brisbane is not devoid of these attributes, merely it fails to excel at them in ways that more international Australian cities do.

For the rest of this post please visit – Boring Brisbane?

It truly is the worst thing to have ever happened on my trip...the other night i started flicking through the pictures on my camera and all of a sudden it decides to erase them all! Every picture i took from ... [Continue reading this entry]

Surfers Paradise....think Byron Bay, then turn it inside out, chuck it into a dirty gutter, stamp on it repeatedly with a steel capped boot, spit on the remnants and then finally smooth it out, build concrete monstrosities on it and chuck in copious amounts of ... [Continue reading this entry]

Just to clarify for those at home...the bridge i climbed is the one at the top of this blog. I was right up the top where the flags are. Cool eh? If anyone ever goes to Sydney, you have to ... [Continue reading this entry]

I've fallen in love with Byron.

It's a small town just under half of the way up the East coast. It's an essential part of anyones trip to Oz. It's chilled and quirky to the extreme. It's a haven for ... [Continue reading this entry]

Sydney, city of brides! As the saying goes - "When in rome...", so I've been walking the streets of this fair haven in a white embroidered dress and a veil. Well, not quite. Similar though. Back to reality. Arrived in Sydney after ... [Continue reading this entry]

Huge congratulations to my friends Chris and Emma who have just got engaged!
But the question on everyone's lips is "Who is to get the coveted post as best man?'' *cough* Me *cough* (I'm not being a bridesmaid lucy, stop ... [Continue reading this entry]

Still in Melbourne. Well actually stayed in St Kilda which is just out from the City centre and is situated on a very picturesque point of the Bay. Lots of grand houses and shops but is slightly tatty round the edges and ... [Continue reading this entry]

Melbourne has, so far, been brilliant. I'm staying at this awesome hostel called X-base. It's really trendy, very clean, spacious and modern. Practically a hotel.

Have met up with some friends i made in Perth. Still adapting to the different sets of ... [Continue reading this entry]
