  • The first day of our trip technically started on Day 0, where I met my fellow travellers who had hired a seat on the sharebus! Sharebus is a bus, obviously, where you hire a seat and all drive around to complete a travel plan together without the restriction of a tour or guide, a pretty

  • After my contract in Narrandera finished, it left me 3 weeks in no mans land. Week 3 of 3 was in Sydney, which technically meant I had 2 weeks in no mans land. I made my choice to head back to Newcastle, work a little, and relax a little. My first week in Newy was

  • The week began bright and early with a 6am collection from Perth, heading straight out to Burberry Wildlife Park where the group got to meet each other properly and have a natter, while also helping out the local volunteers with the days tasks. This included feeding many singlets (and cuddling one) a couple of emus

  • On arrival to my hostel in Perth i was expecting bad things, as the hostel actually had very bad reviews, however i was pleasantly surprised by the fully working kitchen and the good showers. My room mates were nice and non of them snored (a success!). The first day in Perth was actually spent away
