BROOME

Broome is on the west coast Of Australia. I took a flight here from Darwin. Staying a couple of days with Margaret and her family. Yes they do live in the bush about 10k outside Broome. I have comes across lots of different creatures floating about including the greenest of green frogs everywhere of all different sizes. One must be careful to put the lid of the toilet down as you never know what might jump in our out! Their house is built on stilts so most of our eating is done down stairs under neath the house. Nice worm weather. The mosquito love me and they are everywhere along with sand flies. Broome has beautiful coast line with unbelievable turquoise waters. Temperature of water at the moment 30 degrees! Alas no swimming because of sting ray.

so is this really kermith the frog!

fantastic sunsets.

BAROSSA VALEY

Stephen& karen.

My new found friends Karen and Stephen took me to a few winery's

YES I THINK THESE GRAPES ARE RIPE!

ONE OF THE MANY SIGNS I MET ON THE ROAD!

I met Stephen and Karen while I was travelling in Tasmania. So when they heard that i was driving to Adelaide they invited me to stay. I ended up staying three nights. Got the grand tour of the different winery's in the Barossa valley. I became very educated in the different grapes that are grown in this area. They have a vine yard themselves growing both the shiraz and grenache grape.

HOSTEL LIFE

ROBE NEW SOUTH WALES

Hostel life can be very varied. I spent two nights at this hostel in robe. It is a big old converted house with very high ceilings. Very posh indeed, beats staying in over priced motels.

This hostel is a converted jail. I spent one night here. It is actually a listed building. It was a jail up until 1993. I paid to stay and i was glad to go! It was a different experience!!

cute hostel at port ferry

THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD.

"THE GROTTO"

"LONDON BRIDGE"

"THE TWELVE APOSTLES"

As i drove along the great ocean road from Melbourne to Adelaide i saw some breath taking ocean views. It was hard to drive and view at the same time but i did stop along the way to take a few photos. I stayed at Lorne for two nights, then Port ferry Mt Gambier robe and i am now at the barosa valley.
