			<![CDATA[Hello everyone. This is my Blog. I hope you enjoy it. 
Anyway, the purpose of this is to try and document my experiences over the next 7/8 months as I plough through Oceania and then on through South East Asia, taking the rough with the smooth, the rise and the fall, the shits and the, errr, giggles.
I have named this blog &quot;Where's Olly&quot;; an inspired play on words, giving a nod to the &quot;Where's Wally&quot; series by Martin Handford.
I shall be giving details of what I have done, what I plan to do and my current psychological state, whether it be elation, delusion or full on trauma. More than anything, this blog is for me as a record of my progress; its just easier to type than lug around endless volumes of journals. 
The Planned (in the very loosest sense of the word) Itinerary 
Go round Australia's east coast (partly with Rich Halstead) then down via Alice Springs back to where I started. On to NZ for a couple of weeks. Onwards to Indonesia. Over the Straits of Malacca to Malaysia. One month's voluntary work in KL. Explore the rest of the fatherland. Up through Thailand and the rest of Indochina. Let's see what happens.
