East Coast Australia

Howdy all!

We're back in Sydney now after a week and a half journey down from Brisbane. We stopped off in Surfers Paradise for a few days, then went to Byron Bay. Great places with some nice views. We're heading for LA tomorrow morning, and we'll have at least one more video surprise when we get there!

In the meantime, here is a video of some of the sights in Surfers Paradise and Byron Bay. Hope you enjoy!

Greets from NZ!

Howdy everybody,

The weather here in New Zealand is great, just the right temperature! We had some time to relax, and I had some time to work on the movies, and they are almost all done! Three movies are shown below, one more to come the next time we have some internet.

We saw a lot of stuff in one week in Japan. Thanks Danny!

Enjoy the videos!

Hi from Auckland, New Zealand!

After a long journey we are finally in New Zealand.. the side trip to Japan was amazing!

We managed to see all the sites and cities we were planning on including: Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Nara, Tokyo, Sendai and Kashamadai (spelling questionable). The specific locations are unknown to me, but our friend Danny will provide a list of the locations we visited in the future; its just to hard to remember all the names!

We arrived in Auckland last night after midnight local time and managed to check into the YHA Auckland International. The next few days will be spent relaxing.. I think my feet might fall off!

That's all for now, enjoy the pictures! (I know some are sideways)

Cheers,

Andrew

Videos Galore!

Hi Everybody,

Its been a while since we've had a chance to upload videos. The internet speed problem is very annoying!

I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Sydney. We're flying to Japan tomorrow to meet up with my friend Danny for a tour of the country.

Anyways, the movies in this post include:

A car show in Melbourne

The Melbourne skyline and some animals and entertainment from the Healsville wildlife sanctuary near Melbourne.

Some crazy underground stuff from Coober Pedy as well as a tour of the surrounding desert.

Some clips from the outback and Alice Springs.

And finally, THE ROCK! Uluru is the offical name, its more commonly known as Ayers Rock.

Have fun! There should be plenty of interesting stuff to post when we get back from Japan.

Laters,
Ross

Last day in Adelaide

Hey everyone,

I don't have much time to write this so it will have to be brief.

The last while has mostly been spent in the outback australia. We went straight from Melbourne to Coober Pedy, then up to Alice Springs where we took a three day outback tour (Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon) then spent two days in the Alice. The last five days we have been in Adelaide. Tomorrow its off to Sydney, then Thursday Japan.

Coober Pedy is an opal mining town; very multicultural. Most people live underground either in old mines or dug outs. Even the churchs are underground. There is an 18 hole golf course (keep off the grass), lots of aboriginies and a great didjeridu shop. I got both my second didjeridu and first lesson at that shop.

The outback is hot, and full of flies. We were lucky on our tour in that most of the time it was raining; kept us cool. Too much detail to write, some pictures will follow.

Alice springs is a small town in the centre of the country, it is known as a place to runaway to. There are loads of aboriginies, and a few nice bars. Here I got my third didjeridu and second lesson. I promise.. no more didjeridu's! Ross's post will have a short video of me playing.. this was at the very beginning of my first lesson, already the sound is much different yet again. I will show everyone in June.

Adelaide is my favorite ciry in Australia so far.. it is full of great beer, friendly people and spacious malls. (har har) but seriously, its a great place and probably where I'd like to live if I ever came down here for a longer period of time. The beach area is amazing, streets are clean and the general attitude is very australian (unlike melbourne)

I can't wait to see Japan, but I'm alittle scared of the culture shock and carrying my bags all day, everyday but I guess its worth it. I'll try to write sooner next time.

Cheers,

Andrew
