New Year Review - Part 2
We've finally got round to part two of the "New Year" update, (to be honest its now a January update - Lee). So bare with us while we look back on the past month... New Year's Eve First sober New Year for a long time, after getting back from New Norcia we stayed in till about 11:30 when we took a romantic walk down to the river and watched the fireworks over the Perth skyline. Got…
Quick Update
We haven't got round to writing up part 2 of our New Year yet, you'll have to be patient... We've been busy earning some cash for the rest of our trip. I've scored pretty well, getting a web development job. Unfortunately school doesn't start until Feburary, so Lucy has opted to do some door-to-door charity work. I've put a few more photos on the site, check them out in the "Perth" section. We'll try and do another…
New Year Review - Part 1

We tried lighting our candles,…
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…
Fish Feeding at Darwin Harbour
We've just finished watching Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets, I promised Lucy that I'd take her to watch it at the cinema, as she didn't want to see it on cheap VCD in Malaysia, (only because I didn't want the audience laughter added - Lucy). Yesterday morning we spent recovering from the Litchfield trip, we even overslept and missed breakfast! (9:30am breakfast is a bit early for backpackers - Lucy). In the afternoon we checked up…
