South OZ!!

Hi!! We are in Adelaide at the moment- great city, really beautiful, totally under-rated!

We loved 'The rock Tour' did loads of hiking, watched sunrise and sunset over uluru, amazing! and camped out in 'swags' in the bush- great experience, apart from being woken up by howling dingos!scary! Simon also ate Kangaroo tail- looked horrible!

Our trip down from Alice to Adelaide was great. In a mini bus with a great group of people.Pretty much 2 days of straight driving, but we stopped at 'Coober Pedy' over night. Home of opal mining, has a landscape a little like mars....strange place, everyone knows everyone.....and everyone lives underground in dug out homes as the temperature reaches 50+ in the summer! we slept in an underground dorm! went on a mine tour and to an opal museum. Great experence!

Picking up our Camper van today, cant wait! not really planned too much, just that we drop it off in sydney in 3 weeks. We are going along the great ocean road, and are stopping at Melbourne along the way. Also want to get over to Tasmania while we have the van too- cheap to get over there at the moment as its winter, will be freezing over there but also meant to be gorgeous in the winter, and might be lucky enough to see migrating whales too!

Could've done with another day or two in adelaide, it really is lovely and our hostel is great, really friendly guy runs it, he took us up into the mountains yesterday, you get a great view of the whole of Adelaide from up there. We went to a wildlife life sanctuary too, cuddled a Koala, so cute!

Be in touch soon, over and out!XXX
