Western Australia snaps

Sayin' Sydney?

5865KM, 15 days, 4 states, one side of the country to the other and lots of reuniting with old friends - We have arrived in Sydney!

The south of Western Australia was rainy, but beautiful, we went to wineries in Margaret River, caves, forests before hitting up the Nullarbor desert. It took us 3 days to get across to Adelaide and thankfully the journey was a lot better than we thought it would be. Tom and I had a lot of fun talking complete nonsense and singing many tunes along the road.

South Australia was the prettiest state to drive through. We met up with Ryan (whom we used to live with) in Adelaide, and stumbled upon a wine and food festival in the Barossa Valley. We liked SA.

The Great Ocean Road was beautiful, the sights and views were astounding! I'd like to redo that road again on a super hot day as there are so many cute sea side towns by pretty little beaches.

Melbourne was too good. We met up with Tom Wykes (friend who I worked with in Birmingham), Ken (real name Sean who we met and hung out with at Glastonbury 2010), Tim (from Belfast) AND the very kind Adrian (who we travelled from Thailand, through Malaysia to Singapore with in January) who let us kip on his floor. 

The vibe of Melbourne compared to Sydney is more Tom and I. So music and art - if that makes any sense. We instantly felt we could make it our home therefore can't wait to return there!!

So now we're in Sydney. I have been reunited with my dear friend Ashley after a few too many years, She took me along to Hillsong. It was incredible. We are staying with Tom's friend's Phill, Morgs and Pav on the 26th floor of the beautest apartment in North Sydney. We have nothing to be sad about.

As to not make this THE longest post ever - I look forward to sharing the rest of our trip in the form of photographs with you soon (PS: yes I did take that photo above!!! It's a beauty). xo

You have been in my thoughts each day

Wow, what a few weeks. I haven't had a chance to blog in a while as I have been working alot more than full time trying to save some extra pennies for our big trip this weekend. How fast has it come around? We're hoping the drive won't take much more than 2 weeks as we only have the camper for 15 days! Sydney here we come! We're both happy and ready to leave Perth but will still be upset to leave our friends and home for the past 6 months.

Speaking of saving money, I have been quite bad recently an bought  few new items to (struggle to) squeeze into my backpack. Tom treated me to a new beaut purple tee with lovely lovely sleeves. I bought a browny-orange dress for $10 AND got 2 blouses (one silk and pearl buttons and the other cotton long sleeves with gold buttons) at a local charity shops for $12 and Tom got his tattoo! Treats all around!

Here are some photos from the past two weeks.
