That last post was a bit random and out of the blue. I wrote it to try and get something published in an Aussie travel magazine. Soon I’ll fill in the gaps.

In the mean time my precious Internet time has been dedicated to the furthering of my career (hopefully). Last Sunday I went to an Aussie Mini show – anyone who knows me will understand! I emailed Mini World (magazine) in the UK to see if they would be interested in a story. I was surprised to get an email back from their editor saying they may be interested but would want some pictures and captions before they say yes. So as I write I have been staring at a computer for that long my arse in numb and my eyes have glazed over but haven’t had chance to look at my blog until now. I have however sent my submission to Mini World so fingers crossed!

A brief update: I’m almost at the end of my Australia experience. It’s been great but hasn’t quite matched up to New Zealand. I do however plan to come back here at some point and travel the West Coast and the middle (not that there is much in the middle, but I still wanna see it!). Tomorrow we begin a week long drive along the Great Ocean Road, something I am very much looking forward to, then we are off to Kat’s aunty’s for Christmas. It’d better be hot. I’ll be very disappointed if my one Christmas in Aus is cold. Then we are off to Bali for new year.

I last blogged as we were leaving the Far North. Queensland was amazing, so much to see and do. My favourite place was probably Fraser Island – the worlds largest sand island. Anyone who knows me will understand why three days charging around on sand in a 4 by 4 is my idea of lots of fun. I also really liked Byron Bay where Naomi and I decided, on a whim, to jump out of a plane (more on that at a later date).

Bondi beach (Sydney) and Surfers Paradise (Queensland) were awful. Packed and full of 18 years olds – not my idea of fun so we didn’t stop for more than a couple of hours in either place.

Whilst Queensland was action packed since we got South of Byron Bay there wasn’t a lot left to do. We’d already done Sydney so didn’t stop there. We got attacked by leeches walking in the Blue Mountains, which incidentally do give off a blue haze and are beautiful.

We’ve just spent a couple of days in Melbourne where we visited Ramsey Street and went to a Neighbours night where we met some of the Neighbours stars. Soon to be uploaded are photos of us with…. Libby Kennedy, Malcolm Kennedy (yes I know he left years ago), and Darren Timmens.

Now we are in Geelong spending a couple of nights with a friend of Kat’s before getting to the Great Ocean Road.

Well that was about as much of an update as I have time to write. I’ll check in again soon.
