Sydney, Australia
Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 30 September 2009
While we were camping in the Outback, Sydney was under siege of dust storms from the Red Center. We got there just as the last of them was blowing in, and then the skies cleared and the sun made Sydney Harbour sparkle.

Free Stuff to do in Sydney
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 27 September 2009
Besides being Australia’s largest city, Sydney is also its most visited. (and, contrary to popular belief, it is not the country’s capital!) Sydney has an incredible variety of attractions and sights to see and, while Sydney can be pricey, its great outdoors, stunning scenery, and a few attractions are free. So when you find yourself [...]

Alice Springs, Australia
Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 27 September 2009
They don't call it the Red Center for nothing. The three hour flight from Melbourne took us to the desert town of Alice Springs--literally in the middle of nowhere. Everything was covered in red dust and the river through town was a dry bed. Alice isn't much to speak of itself, but it's the launch point for excursions around the Outback including the largest rock in the world: Ayer's Rock, or by the original Aboriginal name (sort of), Uluru. We booked a three day, two night camping trip with The Rock tour company to see more.

Melbourne, Australia
Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 21 September 2009
For the most part we have hit the ground running when we've arrived in new places, but our start in Melbourne was a slow one. Our flight from Auckland didn't get in until almost midnight and the following day was a soaker.

Melbourne to Sydney: the start of our coastal roadtrip
Blog: A Travel Around the World - 21 September 2009
We already spent a week in the Victorian bustling and multicultural capital city, Melbourne, just before leaving for New Zealand, so it was time to pick up our parked van and start to hit the road on the conquer of Australia East Coast. We decided to proceed along the Princes Hwy (A1) which carves its way through the 1100 kilometres of coastline that separates Melbourne to Sydney, the two largest cities in Australia. We were not on a hurry but it was getting chilly down here and our desire to reach the hot Tropical North was growing anxiously inside us.
