It is 11.23 am, we have been up since almost 8 hours, done a 6km rim walk and are now on our way back to the hotel Alice Springs. But this is only the conclusion of our 3-day camping trip around Uluru! This adventure, also know as my […]
On December 6th we woke up quite cheerfully and moved on to Adelaide. We checked into our hotel, dumped our luggage again and returned the car to the rental agency. Since we were downtown already, we hit the arcades for some lunch and shopping. Since I can’t buy […]
After finishing the great ocean road in Port Fairy (where we saw neither elves nor obvious gays) we headed up North to Adelaide. We took the scenic route along the Grampians, which was great! We did some nice rock climbing and enjoyed the stunning views. I mean, […]
After almost a full week in Melbourne, it is time to start road tripping again! On the programme: the great ocean road. This morning we started off by picking up our new rental car. A Hyundai in a colour I do not quite know how to describe… We […]

We have moved up North and taken residence at the Edgewater motel. A nice enough place to stay, park our car and start our trips to Cradle Mountain National Park and the Tamar Wine route. The drive to Cradle mountain is actually a bit of an adventure in itself. […]
We have arrived in Tasmania – or “Tassie” as the locals like to call it. Tasmania is of course the land of origin of the infamous Tasmanian devil, but has so much more to offer – for starters: great wine! Departing from Sydney it was a 90-minute flight […]
Today we set out to learn more about Sydney, Australia and the Australians. The best I thing I found out is that Sydney used to be a rum colony! After the first fleet (aka the first British settlers, mostly convicts) had arrived in Australia, things started to get […]
After three days in the Blue Mountains, we have returned to Sydney and I am finally getting the feeling that I actually am in Australia! Firstly because there was a huge, no HUGE cockroach in our apartment yesterday! We came home from the pub, I was brushing my teeth […]
