The Sydney Experience
Sydney (23rd March - 3rd April) We were very lucky on the trains from Melbourne to Sydney, both times we managed to get four seats, meaning we could turn them into beds for a more comfortable sleep. We arrived at Central Station Sydney around 10am Sunday morning, Lucy's uncle Jim & Muriel were there to greet us. (Having not seen my uncle for at least 15 years it was amusing walking up the station smiling…

We had all good intentions of updating the journal as frequently as possible, but as you might have noticed we haven't had much computer access since leaving Perth! So for all of you who have been having sleepless nights worrying about our latest adventures, worry no more... Here's a bumper edition! Alice Springs & 3-Day Ayer's Rock Tour (8th-11th March) The night before the tour we were sitting in the hostel's bar chatting to other travellers.…

Christmas day down under is a very different experience from home, this is due to the weather, I realised this when on phoning home at 8 am, to catch people before they went to midnight-mass, and I was sweating buckets. It was a stinking 30-something degrees C! Prezzie opening was a…
3 days to go...
We arrived in Perth yesterday afternoon, Mair & Mary picked us up from the airport, then drove us to our accomodation. Mair rents a house out to a man, who is currently away for the next three weeks, so Mair has let us stay there whilst he's away... This is amazing offer for us, and we'd want to say a huge thanks to Mair for this! Its going to help our budgeting beyond belief! With only…
