Latest Development. *Australia 08*
Posted by TheMancunian at 12:43 | Filed In Travel | 2 Comments
I’ve decided to take the plunge and get my arse over to the other side of the world to do some travelling in Australia.
I spoke to a few friends who have been to Australia for a year out. One went on his own and the other with a friend who had similar ideas. I will be doing it alone, but who knows who i’ll meet over there! They each suggested a different way of going around the country and where they would have liked to spend more time. I want to do the usual east coast major cities, but i also want to spend some time along the west coast near Perth, as i hear it is amazing scenery and untainted wilderness! Bear Grylls eat your heart out - haha - what a moron - i hear he shoots his tv programme then goes back to 5 star luxury - pussy!
Anyway, enough of my Bear Grylls hatred, i finally settled on picking where i start by choosing the cheapest flight over! I am going to organise my visa very soon, probably the start of September and i am still saving for the trip. I want a new DSLR (EOS40D - when it gets released) before i go travelling and i shall need a new ruck sack as i expect to be staying in hostels or even camp sites sometime. I also want to ski in Australia; its unthinkable and unheard of anywhere inside of Europe and America & Canada. Scuba diving in the great barrier reef is another thing which is on my to-do list.
Can’t wait for the tour now, am getting giddy already!
Toad in the hole for tea tonight; Awesome!

LightWindow is pretty nice; in the sense it can display my pics from flickr or my videos from my server in a nice shadowed box known as a lightbox.
See some of my pics from Andorra in February 2006 below…
Nice box Chris!
*Update* Finally got this working! What a bit** it was!
