Helen's Travels..: Life in the outback!
http://helen-in-oz.blogspot.com/2012/10/life-in-outback.html
Thursday, 25 October 2012. Life in the outback! After almost a year I have finally left Melbourne, and moved to Alice Springs, right in the middle of Australia! It was sad to say goodbye to Melbourne and all my friends there, but I decided it was time to go somewhere different, and Alice Springs certainly is different! It's actually in the middle of nowhere! And the weather is SO different to Melbourne! Since I've been here there have been 9 days in a row where the temperature has got to over 38 degrees!

Helen's Travels..: June 2011

Sunday, 26 June 2011. Life on the farm. Well, it's been an interesting few weeks! Ended up really struggling to find a job in Brisbane, the only job I was offered was door to door sales which I really didn't want to do! So me and Steph (a girl I met in the hostel) flew up to Cairns and we are now working on a farm! I've decided I want to get my 2nd year visa and to do that you have to do 88 days farm work. And the sofas in the living room are old and horrible, so not comfy at all! Zucchini picking is a b...

Helen's Travels..: Back to Melbourne!
http://helen-in-oz.blogspot.com/2012/01/back-to-melbourne.html
Saturday, 28 January 2012. Arrived back in Melbourne in the morning on 4th Jan and moved into my new flat! So me and Ellie spent most of the day out buying bedding and did a big food shop etc! We also had a wonder down to Southbank where we had cocktails in the Crown Casino! The next day we picked up our hire car for our road trip! We drove to the Mornington Peninsula where we stopped for a walk and a picnic, then drove over to Philip Island! It was just as good second time! The penguins were so cute!

Helen's Travels..: April 2011

Wednesday, 27 April 2011. Rain rain, go away! Had a pretty miserable few days in Sydney weather-wise! It was a horrible day on Saturday so in the morning all I did was venture out to the supermarket to get some food. I couldn’t believe the price of meat, it was so expensive. So I won’t be cooking much of that while I’m here! In the afternoon, me and a girl from YHA decided to go to the Royal Easter Show, which to be honest, was a bit of a let down! But I was good and just looked. After my food I decided ...

Saturday, 14 January 2012. Christmas and New Year in Sydney! On 22nd December I got the overnight train to Sydney for Christmas and New Year as I was lucky enough to have 2 weeks off work and Ellie my friend from home was coming to visit! Managed to fill up most days in Sydney so I'll write about each day separately! Met up with Shweta who I did OzIntro with in the morning to buy fancy dress for the Christmas Eve Party Cruise that evening! Woke up the next morning to glorious sunshine! As we couldn't che...

Helen's Travels..: Back to the UK!
http://helen-in-oz.blogspot.com/2012/04/back-to-uk.html
Wednesday, 11 April 2012. Back to the UK! Wow, haven't updated my blog for ages! Started writing a little something at Melbourne airport last week so I'll copy and paste that to begin with! So here I am once again waiting to begin a 25 hour flight, though this time in the opposite direction! Definitely doesn’t seem like close to a year since I was at the airport sat at the gate staring out the window at a HUGE Qantas plane. Year visa. So the plan is to save up as much as possible, then begin my trave...

Helen's Travels..: September 2011
http://helen-in-oz.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 27 September 2011. Cairns, Cape Tribulation and Port Douglas. My first destination after the farm was Cairns. I left the farm at 5.30am to get a lift with the farmer - better than spending $30 for a taxi to Mareeba, then $17 on the bus to Cairns! Once in Cairns I checked into Global Waterfront Backpackers. A really good hostel on the esplanade, right opposite the lagoon, and it was really cheap! Spent my first day there just wondering round, went to the shops and treated myself to a new bikini.

Monday, 30 May 2011. Byron Bay, Surfers Paradise, Brisbane! So, last time I updated this I was booking an extra night at the Arts Factory in Byron Bay. That extra night turned into 3 extra nights as Byron Bay is now my favourite place ever! Spent quite a few nights at Cheeky Monkeys having cheap drinks and cheap food! They held various competitions and giveaways each night. Unfortunately I didn’t win anything, but they did hold an auction for some trips, and I got a $65 surf lesson for $35! Sunday I didn...
