One for the road

Have booked up and have our travel plans before we leave for the hops job. Its the 4 of us (Emma, Amey, Lee and myself) and we depart tomorrow (Wednesday) am. Got a cheap car to drive the south coast and then to Adelaide then have a trip up to Alice Springs which, if it's description is correct, should be groovy! We have a week in Alice springs which is quite alot but the hostels there look nice and there will be a few things to see to keep us busy. We will spend 3 days on a tour to Uluru, or Ayres rock as it may be known. The trip includes camping in the bush under the stars, and sunset/sunrise at Uluru so it should be good...I hope there are no scorpions or snakes knockin' about! After that we go back to Alice Spring before we get a train back to Adelaide which should be good...its a 24 hour trip so most of the spaces are cabins, but being cheapo backpackers on a budget we have the cheap seats so will spend 24hours in cramped conditions!!! It should be an experience tho and hopefully there will be some nice scenery along the way. We will have a day or 2 back in Melbourne before we leave for the hop farm which is about 3 hours North East of here at a place called Myrtleford.


I have a flight to Asia booked for the 13th April, the day before my visa expires. Melbourne to Kula Lumpor...that's as much as I have planned so far. I should make quite abit at the hops job so I plan to spend 2 or 3 months travelling Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Borneo etc. etc.) as it is very cheap over there. Spending today day chilling out, seeing about vaccinations for Asia, and then having my haircut...what a whirlwind day! Hope you are all rosie back home. xxx
