Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
Being from the city, the wild life of Bristol isn't very exciting. It's not that we don't have any, it's just that we don't see much of it. So being in the Australian country (or if you're Aussie, the bush) whenever I found anything, I would have to pick it up and take a photo...... Continue Reading →
Something I never envisioned myself doing before I left the UK, was working on a farm. I've always been interested and lived around that sort of thing but had never really got my hands dirty. I'm pretty much willing to give anything a try, so when the opportunity came to work on a farm, I... Continue Reading →
Living in the outback of Queensland, Australia, you quickly learn that the freezer is your best friend when it comes to food. Bulk buying and freezing is definitely the way to go when you're working every day and the nearest supermarket takes an hour and a half to get to. To be honest, at first... Continue Reading →
Whilst road tripping through the centre of Australia, we stopped for camp at the Devils Marbles. Since I decided I wanted to travel to Australia, I've always wanted to see the Marbles but I was never sure on the logistics of how to do it. I looked into doing a tour or getting a coach...

We have finished work on the feedlot and are now offically unemployed! I thought it would be a huge relief not to be working and that I would be excited to go, but I actually just feel sad more than anything. For six months our lives have revolved around feeding the cows, watching over them... Continue Reading →
After spending an incredible three weeks travelling along the beautiful coast of Western Australia, we were getting closer to the boarder. Our last stop before we began to drive inland, towards Norseman was Esperance. Esperance is a lovely town well known for its pink lake and salt flats. Wow, a pink lake! I thought. Well,...

It's crazy to me that I have lived in Australia for two years now. It really doesn't feel like that long ago I was sat at my desk in work, staring out the window and thinking "get me away from here!" I've had a fantastic time travelling around this beautiful country and I have experienced... Continue Reading →
Yes I went with the very original title of 'chasing waterfalls'. I just couldn't resist using the 90's hit song as a reference. Thank you TLC. The tropics of far north Queensland are so different from other parts of Queensland. If you get the chance to travel that far up the coast, I would strongly... Continue Reading →
We have been working on the feed lot for almost three months now. The time has flown by. Time flies when you're having fun... Or working 11 hour shifts everyday! Before we were hired for this job, we were actually set up to go back to the dairy farm we previously worked for. It was... Continue Reading →
I have a confession, I had absolutely no idea about the Pinnacle Desert until I consulted google on the 'must sees' of Western Australia. I can't believe I had never heard of it before, it was brilliant! There is a route you can drive/walk for $20 entry fee. We took our car through and parked... Continue Reading →
Whilst road tripping up the East Coast, we stopped at Bondi beach for the day. Well, we planned it to be a day but on arrival our plans quickly changed to a few hours! IT WAS SO BUSY. Being from the bustling city of Bristol, I'm used to crowds but when everyone is almost naked,... Continue Reading →
We have worked just over seven weeks straight now. No days off, no late starts nothing. It's starting to make us a little stir crazy and irritable. Yesterday we were invited to the Flinton races which is 90km from the feed lot. We didn't really want to at first, but I am so glad we... Continue Reading →
One of the most popular tourist destinations in Australia, Byron Bay did not dissapoint. We spent the night in a small campsite in our wonderful car and pretty much melted in the spring heat. We started the morning the proper way with a stop at a bakery for coffee and pastries. The food was really... Continue Reading →
All packed after spending a night in Coober Pedy, we made a stop at IGA supermarket for some snacks for the road. As we were currently jobless, we stopped by the notice board. Other than a few cars for sale we had no luck but one post in particular caught our eye. I've always been... Continue Reading →
One of the best people we have met on our travels is Buddy. Extremely funny, interesting and kind, he happily took us on a tour of his hometown Adelaide. It was brilliant. I think it's really great when people are proud of where they came from and can tell you all about their city, just... Continue Reading →
