Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
Whilst working on a sheep farm in Muntadgin, we had heard the name Kalgoorlie mentioned a few times. So I turned to google and on our next day off, off we went! One of the oldest mining towns in Australia, and that's not all its well known for. It is also famous for its brothel.... Continue Reading →
Even from a distance, I knew I was going to like this city. We arrived on a sunny afternoon and once booked into our hostel, we went for a stroll a long the river. I had made up a bit of a must-see list for this city and was keen to see as much as... Continue Reading →
Yup, I rode the wave! It was actually a little tricky getting up there as I had to run and pose whilst trying to hold on. Twenty photos later and I think we captured the right image! Whilst living in a little town called Muntagdin where we were working as sheep-pusher-uppers (this was honestly our... Continue Reading →
What an amazing place! If you ever want to feel like a a very small pixie in a forest, this is the place. The south west of Western Australia is hauntingly beautiful. Surrounded by trees which loom over you, and roads which go on forever, you really do feel tiny. The tree top walk was... Continue Reading →
Just wanted to share a little bit of dog happiness. So today I was ready to take the dogs for a nice evening run, me on the quad, them running alongside. I stopped to take a phone call and this happened. I think I could of fit two more on there. There's definitely a bit... Continue Reading →
Dogs are the best animals. There's no arguing it. They are just so pure and full of character. Today I was riding back to our house on the quad bike and Worry (odd name for a dog) began following me but then fell behind. She's one of the twelve working dogs they have here at... Continue Reading →
This was written a while ago but I have been so busy I haven't been able to upload and edit! Sorry about the gap between the posts... ...So what was an average day like? In a nutshell, the complete opposite to my home life. At seven o'clock in the morning, I would help make the... Continue Reading →
Since seeing the music video for Toxic, Britney had me believing that having the wind flow through my hair whilst on the back of a motorbike, would be so free and glamorous. Right now I am battling with one giant dreadlock which used to be a ponytail. Give it up Britney. Today was realllyyyyyy really... Continue Reading →
Our day started with a bang... literally. Whilst travelling at 5km around a roundabout we had our first motorbike accident. It was a very slow tumble in what we suspect to be spilt diesel. It had been raining that morning and rain on disel in like riding on ice. Our back end went out and... Continue Reading →
OH MY GOD MY BUM ACHES. After a full ten hours on the bike, I can no longer feel my bottom. We set off at around 9:00am this morning from Atherton and drove the higgldy piggldy Gillies Range for the final time in Australia. This road is so nice to do on a bike because... Continue Reading →
Our first job in Australia was in central Queensland, 94km from Longreach. Mitch was a farm hand and I was a nanny for four children. It was really tough but it was a real experience. So there we were, in Brisbane having just received news we had the job. We needed transport and fast. So... Continue Reading →
We landed a few days ago in Cairns and were very surprised to see rain. It's still very hot but the humidity isn't too bad for this time of year. On my last day in Bali, I got food poisoning from a salad (wtf) so the flight and waiting around was long and horrible. I... Continue Reading →
