Hi Everyone...

Sorry for the delay in updating my blog but I have just been having toooo much fun! The Whitsunday's were absolutely MAGICAL! This Pixie was definitely made for Island living! After the Whitsunday's I travelled to Fraser Island which is the largest sand island in the world. 2 days in a landcruiser zooming around the sand, swimming in fresh water creeks, walking through Jurasic Park type forests and taking a scenic flight over the island was AMAZING!

Then I flew on to Melbourne which is where I am at the moment! I am staying with Andrei (some of you will know him from my iTouch days) and I could not ask for a better host! Melbourne is absolutely wonderful and I can see why so many people love it. Over and above it being the food capital of Australia, it is clean, easy to get around and has everything and more that you could possibly want from a city.

So far, we have been to Mount Dandenong, the city, the riverside, Federation Square, the Botanical Gardens and today we head down the Great Ocean Road! I am going to be catching up with lots of friends while in Melbourne too. My friends Emma and Christine (although Emma is not here at the moment). My cousin Neil and his fiance Sonia (photo's below), the CCMP team and Sinead (an old friend of a friend).

I'll update my blog again before I leave Melbourne but so far my thoughts on it are.... that it is a beautiful city that offers everything you could want and more.

Bye for now!

Northern Queensland!

Yes, it's me.... AGAIN!

Tomorrow morning at 5am I board ANOTHER plane and head down to the Whitsunday Islands for 4 days of island bliss (even if it is bucketing down)!

I have spent the last 5 days on tours of the Daintree, Cape Tribulation, the Bloomfield track and the Great Barrier Reef!

Besides turning numerous shades of green on the trip out to the Great Barrier Reef it has been great! Another completely different part of Australia with rain forests and beautiful ocean!

I am one very lucky pixie to get to see all of this (plus as you will see below.... I had a few close encounters of the aqua kind).

Bye for now!

A truly spectacular experience

Hello Everyone!

I arrived in Cairns yesterday evening and tomorrow I head off on a daytrip to Cape Tribulation, Daintree and the Bloomfield Track and the day after I do my dive on the Great Barrier Reef!

I would sincerely recommend the Red Centre to anyone and everyone! It was simply fantastic! I don't think I have EVER seen so many stars in the sky and SO clearly! The Olga's were amazing, I hiked into the gorge (did not do the valley of the winds hike though) and the following morning I did the sunrise hike around the base of Uluru (better known as Ayers Rock). It was simply breathtaking (photo's below). The following day it was off to Kings Canyon and then back to Alice Springs.

All I can say is... WOW!

I hope you are all well?

Love, me xxx

I am back from my Northern Territory Tour and am hopping back on a plane and heading down to Alice Springs today. My Northern Territory trip was definitely an eye opener! I saw lots of wildlife, climbed rocks, swam in rock pools (potentially with crocs) and slept in a tent! Those of you who know me will know that I just DON'T DO camping! But I did it and I have another 3 days and 2 nights of it coming up in Alice Springs where I will be going to see Uluru, Kings Canyon and Kata Utja.

Admittedly when I'm camping I do not sleep! I am lying there with my torch on, flashing it around the tent, petrified of snakes and spiders. On my last night of camping, there was a brown snake by the toilets (they are deadly), needless to say, I did not go to the toilet that night!!!

After the Red Centre I head up to Cairns for some R&R, during which time I will be going to Daintree and doing a dive in the Great Barrier Reef!

Well that's all for now! Next update after I have done my Red Centre tour!

Yes! As you can see... I have FINALLY figured out how to change the size of the photo's so that I can put them in my blog! It's about bloody time too!!!!

So, I am currently sitting in the hotel in Darwin where I have got excellent connectivity and so I am doing as much as I can today. I flew into Perth, Australia 2 weeks ago and was picked up at the airport by my friend Charmaine (left) and her two daughters, Emily & Lauren. I had a wonderful time in Perth. We had afternoon tea at the Perth Mint, we took the ferry, walked in Kings Park, went to Fremantle and host of other things including going to the Caversham Wildlife Park where I saw the cutest, cuddliest little animals! Like this gorgeous little Koala!. Alan, Charmaine's husband very kindly let her come up to Broome with me, where we went out to see on a Pearl Lugger, drank Champagne and lounged on deck. All in all a fantastic way to start the Australian part of my trip off!!!!!

I am now in Darwin, Northern Australia and tomorrow morning I head off on a 4 day camping tour of Kakadu, Litchfield and Katherine. After that I fly to Alice Springs and do a 3 day camping tour of Ayers Rock and Kings Canyon. From there I head on to Cairns where I will be going to Daintree and for my first dive on the Great Barrier Reef! Watch this space!!!!

I'm pleased as punch I've figured out how to add photo's. Oi... Leek, no more abuse from you ;-)

Love, hugs and shparkles to all! Till my next blog.... bye for now
