Australia
We will be spending 5-6 months in Australia and plan to travel our way from west coast to central to east coast. We hope to visit a couple of places on the west coast but these will be seen on weekends and days off as we plan to work for about 3 months. Once we have had enough of the working life again we will then set off to properly tour the central and eastern regions of Australia.
We will do our best to keep you all entertained at home but australia is going to be very much a beach style life during our 5-6 months, so you will probably see more beach and coastal snaps than ever before.
Oh and I should be able to get some good Pool practise in as well because my grandad has just bought a table and I will hopefully be challenging him to a game on more than a regular basis.
