A very quick fly-by post from Darwin, Internet time is running out...It's been nice and warm here for the past week, though quite windy so not as bad as I expected. It's quite small so there isn't much to do, and I think that by the time one has been in every location mentioned in Lonely Planet's "Sights" section, it's time to move on ( Read more... )

Ugh. If ever there was a place where I've felt completely an outsider, it would be Alice Springs. The Aboriginals here are scary and, quite frankly, weird. They freak me out. I don't want to even go to town, really. But I have to be here until Monday when I catch the train to Darwin, so...I'll just hang out at the hostel, mostly. Luckily there's ( Read more... )

Hmm, so apparently McLeod's Daughters is filmed in Barossa Valley. Wouldn't have thought that, since when I watched it I never saw anything winery-related and the place is filled with them.

Another day off, this time due to it raining cats and dogs all day yesterday. Thus it is too wet over at the work site to do anything. It frigging never rains here, never, and during the time we've been here it's rained twice. And when it rains, it pours. We got another car last week (I have no idea what happened to the one that was crashed) so ( Read more... )
