In Byron Bay. V nice but the weather has turned to shite - it feels just like Scotland today!
Apart from that it's really nice here. Went to Dreamworld - was ceeewlll. Have now been on the Tallest, Fastest freefall ride in the world. Of course me & Saz had to go on every bloody roller coaster - twice. We both had roller coaster neck the following day :-)
Catching the bus back to Sydney tonight - a mere 12 hour jaunt. Getting the bus hasn't been as bad as you might think - I'm totally glad that we won't be doing it again tho - flying everywhere next time.

Having a great time here in Brizzy. Job prospects look pretty bleak but don't care amy more! We've decided to leave Oz a bity early and head onto Singapore in a week or 2. As soon as we planned it, Sarah started jumping around singing the lyrics to the Game of Life and swinging round lamp posts! (I think she was happy :-)
Went to the Castlemaine XXXX brewery tour this morning. Really interesting. Did you know....ahemm...there are 12 fermentation tanks and if you drank 6 beers a day it would take over 500 years to drink the contents of one of 'em. 2 million litres of beer a day - 4600 stubbies of beer every minute - and best of all - 4 free beers when you're finished!
Maybe going to Dreamworld on Friday - on our way back to Sydney - can't wait.

In Hervey Bay @ the mo. Heading to Brisbane today - got a flat sorted out for the week to save a bit of cash. Hopefully gonna find work for a bit and pay back the Visa!!! If not - see you soon Mum :-)

In Carins for the week. Had a brilliant time - the wine is V cheap! Met up with folk from Alice/Uluru, I think we're all doing the same route. Went to the woolshed the first night we got here, won the pub quiz and the $100 bar tab - which we drank away in about an hour! Also went to a place called Crystal Cascades and jumped of a 40ft high ledge into the water below (ok - maybe it was 30ft). Just the thing to fix a hangover. Went to the Great Barrier Reef yeterday with these guys... Tried Scuba for the first time. Brilliant fun. It's a really wierd feeling breathing under water. Doesn't take long to get used to tho. There was huge (I mean MASSIVE) giant clams. The dive instructor tries to get you to put your hand in it as he makes it slam shut - apparently it doesn't hurt - I couldn't do it tho. Anyway - well impressive. I think were staying here again tonight then off down south for the last leg of Oz. Catchas.

We're in Alice at the moment. Had the last week or so in the Ozzy Outback so no email access. The phone didn't even get a signal for 4 days! Have had a brilliand time in Adelaide, Coober Pedy, Alice, Kings Canyon and Uluru. Coober is an old time mining place - really remote (and hot). Ayres rock was V cool. It's huge! Nothing like I was expecting. I'll drop in some photos when I can get cheaper internet access. Off to Cairns today - 30 hours on the bus! We're going to meet up with my Cousin, Hakan, in Port Douglas - so it's worth it. Spending a fortune but having fun at the same time.
