Well, I’m leaving Australia on Wednesday night at 11.30pm. I’m feeling a little contemplative… so I think I will share my top 5 favourite pictures of the trip so far with you guys. Apologies for the sizing of these… I’m posting the URL’s of pictures which are on our photo gallery site and they don’t quite fit!
So in a Top Of The Pops Stylee (American Charts With Casey Casem for you American dudes)
5. Chilling Out In Railey Beach, Thailand. My good friend Bryan who i know from from uni and his 5 friends came to meet up with us for a wonderful week of chilling out beside limestone cliffs, chilling out in Moroccan style bars at night, and snorkeling in tropical seas. Ahhh…
More Railey Beach Pictures Here (Including a few terrible pictures of me, lol.)
4. The William Ricketts Sanctuary, Near Melbourne. I’ve wanted to visit this place for nearly ten years since it was featured on Billy Connolly’s World Tour Of Australia. There’s a whole woodland filled with beautiful and spiritual sculptures inspired by the Aboriginies and their culture. Absolutely awe inspiring.
More pictures of the Ricketts Sanctuary Here. Find out more about the amazing artist who devoted his life to creating this place here.
3. Rotorua, New Zealand. I’ve always been fascinated by volcanic activity and have never seen any. We visited Rotorua and saw all the thermal wonders this unique town has to offer.
More Wai U Tapu Pics Here!
2. Whale Shark Swimming, Western Australia. Wow. We went out for the day to go snorkelling with these amazing creatures. The sea was sooooo choppy and visibility wasn’t great, but we didn’t give a damn. What a day! We saw Manta Rays, Humpback Whales, and a Deadly Sea Snake. What could match it?!
More Whaleshark shenannigans here.
1. Fraser Island, Australia. World Heritage listed sand island off the Queensland coast. It was absolutely breathtaking. We spent 3 days here, and it was one of those experiences that truly remind you how fortunate you are.

Just 6 weeks left now… but what a 6 weeks we are in for. Fiji, Hawaii, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York. I can’t wait! I have to say though I’m also really looking forward to spending more time on affiliate marketing when we get back to the UK. It’s been a great trip, and I’ve maintained my income levels…. but I miss working consistently at my craft. So getting to the UK for 3 months will be awesome.
After that? Back on a plane to Australia!!

Thanks for the pics Kirsty, they look fantastic. I’ve been to Fraser island myself and it is quite simply an amazing place… Totally out of this world really, I’m very jelous and it reminds me how much I enjoyed my time in Oz… Did you go to Melbourne? My favourite city I think and definately worth a visit…
Hope you have a fantastic 6 weeks…!

Hey Tom.
I’m sitting in Melbourne right now! I’ve a good friend here, so he’s put us up a few times at various junctures on this trip. I also spent a fair bit of time here on my last trip… my favourite place was the Crown Casino then. 24 hour drinking

Hi Kirsty,
Those pics are truly amazing.
Did you hire a camper van or buy one for the Oz trip?
cheers,

Hi Marc,
Taking them was even better than awesome!
We actually bought a camper van for the trip. They’re pretty cheap in Australia although we ended up spending $20,000 on ours so we could fit all Duncan’s bloody dive gear in!
