The Great Australian Roadtrip


After a quiet month of May, June came in with a roar with the beginning of the Great Aussie Roadtrip.  Lauren, a friend from home, came over to visit, and we set about our mission to see as much of Australia as we could in two weeks.  And I must say, it was a great success.

We flew from Brisbane to Melbourne, which is on the south-east coast of Australia.  From there we drove to Sydney, and then from Sydney to Brisbane, before flying up to Cairns in far North Queensland to see the rainforests and the reef.  In between the vast nothingness that makes up this country, we did manage to find quite a few amazing spots, and have lots of fun along the way!  And, most importantly, managed to make it back to Brisbane in our massive campervan (surely a tribute to my Barry heritage), without dumping each other along the way.

Over the next few days and weeks I'll blog about some of our best adventures, starting down in Melbourne and working up to Cairns.  Stay posted - it will be great!



All 2,000 kilometers of our road trip, and Cairns way up at the top.
