Fraser Island, Australia

October 5th, 2008

From Byron Bay we headed to Brisbane. We did an unintentional and bewildering lap of the city, before being abruptly spat out in the direction we’d come from. From there we spent a rather miserable two hours touring Brisbane’s picturesque suburbs before we finally hit our campsite.
Which was full, so we drove another forty kilometres [...]

We spend the second weekend in a row goggling Australia’s weird animals. Also, we nearly get extremely sick on a boat. Click here for all the topsy-turvyness we could handle.



Featherdale Wildlife Park, Sydney

July 29th, 2008

Since arriving in Sydney, we’ve done many things. We’ve got a bank account (albeit one with not much cash in it), mobile phones, and a place to live. We’ve even got jobs.
