Hi everyone...so I am back up to date with my blogs now, hooray!!! I need to get my photo's sorted and uploaded as well, but that is going to have to wait, because I don't have the patience to be honest!! I am in Perth at the mo, and it's great! I flew over here last Thursday, but I nearly didn't catch the flight! I had remembered to set the Alarm time on my phone for 5.30am to give me time to get up and ready, checked out of the hostel, on...

So, back in Adelaide and I decided to do a day tour of the Wineries of the Barossa Valley, which basically meant a day of drinking and eating with a group of people I haven't met before...sounded great to me!

Hi everyone, I know it's been a long, long time since I last updated you all, so I will attempt to do so now.... I've back-dated this blog to the date I was in Tasmania.
