We made the 5 hours from Batemans Bay to Marlo (where we were very nicely welcomed by our next Courchsurfing hosts) in one single bit. We stayed in Marlo for 3 nights and Andrew and Debra were really good company. She’s a teacher and he’s got his own photo studio at home. He gave us […]
Remember the Creepy Crawlies Sand-sculptures from Melbourne? Well, Australia does have quite a few real Creepy Crawlies, Hoppies, Flyies and Swimmies. Here are some of them:
After leaving Sydney we made our way down south on the Princes Highway. It’s the coastal highway going from Sydney to Melbourne. It takes much longer than the direct route, but it offers stunning views and sleepy little villages.
We met up with Anna – a friend of mine from Frankfurt, who just came over to Sydney a week ago – to live and study here. She joined us for a weekend trip to the Blue Mountains where we visited the Three Sisters at Echo Point in Katoomba, took the Skyway Gondola at Scenic […]
After ending our stay in Maitland (near Newcastle/Hunter Valley) with a great family BBQ at our lovely Couchsurfing hosts (unfortunately you can’t read about this in detail as the MobileMe notes synchronization decided to delete my blog post), we headed straight on for Sydney to meet up with a very good friend of ours from […]

I bought an USB card reader that actually still can read SmartMedia cards. Here are my pics:
Last weekend we went on a 2-day “sail & snorkeling/dive the Great Barrier Reef”-cruise departing from Cairns. We originally were booked on the “Vagabond” sailing boat, which we specifically chose because it’s a sail boat and Barbara wanted to sail a bit. They promised hands-on sailing which sounded like a great opportunity for her. A […]
Jetstar managed once again to take off an hour late despite everyone being onboard on time. “Missing freight and paperwork” was the official excuse… Sound a bit like they need some thorough process optimization… Since Cairns is so close to the equator, it was already dark when we landed (7pm) – no daylight savings here. […]
Our second day in Australia started with a nice walk though the southern parts of Melbourne from Elwood towards the city. We went through Acland Street (Greetings to Tom, Anna & Otto ;) ) in St. Kilda towards the beachfront. Barbara was impressed by all those bakeries, cake shops and almost german looking butcheries. From […]
