A Town Called Alice: Darwin and Alice Springs

So much drama happened in Darwin. This girl called Helen, who I'd met in Adelaide came to Darwin for a holiday so she stayed in the same room as me in the hostel. Helen arrived at about 3am and went straight to bed in the only empty bed. The next night security and reception burst into our room in the middle of the night demanding everyones names. Basically reception had buggered up and booked 5 people into a 4 bed dorm. They made one girl get up and move to another room because she'd been put in the wrong room, it was so harsh. It was handled so badly. The extra girl who had come back to the hostel after a night out, to find she didnt have a bed started shouting and blaming Helen for 'stealing' her bed. It was ridiculous. The next day we made a complaint and moved rooms. After we moved rooms, Judi from my Kakadu trip, had hired a car and drove Helen and I to Kakadu. We were going to have a day out to watch the sunset at Yellow Waters.
Along the way, we stopped off at a crocodile jump cruise. It was only $35 and it was so good! We went on a little boat with 10 other people, cruising down the Adelaide River. The boat driver, drove over to some crocodiles and hung a stick out with some meat on the end. The crocodiles jumped out the water to get the meat and some of the crocs were huge!! Some were up to 5 metres long!!! It was so much fun!!

After all that excitement, we carried on with our drive to Yellow Waters. The sunset was beautiful.

On the way home, we had loads of drama. Helen was driving and something hit the side window and the back of the car and shattered it. We spent the whole journey trying to work out what it could've been. The most likely explantion would suggest it was a stone, but I wasn't convinced cos it was on the side of the car. Other theories were that it was a bird of prey, my theory was that someone had targeted the car lol. It seemed obserd but it was like someone had thrown something at the window. I was worried because Helen was the only one in the car that hadn't been welcomed by the Aboriginal people, and she happened to be the one driving. The Aboriginals believe in spirits, and there is a book at Uluru full off apology letters where people had taken a stone or something from Uluru and then all this bad stuff had happened to them afterwards. So I was convinced that this had happened because Helen hadn't been welcomed lol. Anyway, Helen showed the picture of the shattered window to her Aunt and Uncle and straight away they said that it was a gun shot...

I guess we'll never know, all im gonna say is that Im glad it didn't go all the way through the glass because I was sitting in the back!

Then to top it all off, we hit a wallaby after that (yep, Helen was driving lol). The wallaby had cracked the bumper and left a nice tuft of fur in the crack. So we pulled over at the next roadhouse to inspect all the damage and push the window out. No surprise, we had to pay the full excess on the car, which was only about $100 each, luckily.

Other than all that drama, Darwin was good, we went to the night market, which was awesome. We watched the sunset at the beach, listened to some epic didgeridooing and browsed all the stalls, I saw that beardy Brad, hitch hiker guy again too lol, so random!

There was a day that Helen went to Litchfield on a tour, so Emma and I job hunted and sunbathed. We took part in a water volleyball tournament at our hostel, which we lost, but we were given free food vouchers and discount drink wristbands. So Helen joined us at HP, for the free food and drinks when she got back from her trip.

At HP, we took part in a crab racing competion. Our first crab was called 'I came to Darwin and got crabs'. This crab was shit, so we took part again and called our crab 'Crab Sticks'. Our crab was in the lead, then just as it was about to cross the finish line it changed direction! We then took part in a raffle, and my ticket got called, so I had to stand on the stage with a group of other people and take part in a scavenger hunt. I had to find a straw, a left shoe, a bra, a condom and an empty glass. I got down to the final 2, it was me against this other guy. The final challenge was to find someone to make out with. I lost lol. The bar was full of women for a start. Anyway, it turned out to be a really fun night.

We bumped into that beardy Brad guy again in HP, we got talking and I said how Emma and I were trying to get to Alice Springs asap becuase we'd found a job. Brad told us that he was heading down to Alice the next day to do a vehicle transfer, and asked if Emma and I wanted to join him and his friend Kate. It was perfect timing, I felt awful for leaving Helen but we couldn't say no to a free lift!

So we got up and ready the next day to meet Brad and Kate at 10am. We managed to get some of our money back from the hostel, which was good too!
The road trip was good fun, Emma and I just slept most of the way in the back of the car. When we pulled up to the campsite for the night, Emma and I hid in the back of the car so that we wouldn't have to pay. I got bitten by mozzies all over my face that night, I looked like I had chicken pox lol.

So after 2 days of driving, we arrived back in Alice Springs. We text Shane and Juno to let them know, and then Shane replied telling us to come over and that he'd found us both a job! So we got ready and went to his. Shane told us that we could become hosties for Adventure Tours and that we would start training on Sunday (today was Friday). It was insane! We originally came to Alice Springs because we got offered jobs as waitresses at one of the restaurants, but now we were working for Adventure tours as cooks! We went to a place called Annie's for dinner and drinks, we met loads of other people who work for Adventure Tours, everyone is really cool. Brad and Kate met us there for dinner too. After Annie's, we went to the Rock Bar, then to Monties, then to the Casino. It was a late night, but so much fun!

Emma and I were staying at Toddy's backpackers, so we spent the whole day sunbathing by the pool. Jimmy and Matt, two guys that work there, came over to us with a 10ft python around their neck. They told us to come and join them, where they were having drinks and snacks with some other guests. So we did, they kept trying to give us beer but we wouldnt take it. We had a battle with lightsabers and played with the snake. Jimmy and Matt were getting annoyed cos we weren't drinking, saying we were making it really hard for them to get us drunk lol. It was a funny afternoon.

Emma and I had our training with Gen on Sunday, we were on tour for 4 days to Uluru, Kings Canyon etc. with Benny as the tour guide. We all got on so well, we could not stop laughing, it was really bad lol *just chuck it in bru!* When we came back from tour, we met everyone out at Annie's. It was so much fun! We all got lemon meringue. It was an epic night!

Since then, both Emma and I have had one more training session on seperate tours. Emma has gone off for her first solo, and I have mine on Saturday!!! Im so excited/nervous! Hopefully it'll be ok, I'll keep you all posted!

Crocodile Dundee: Alice Springs to Darwin

Day 1:
Our tour guide Juno, who Emma and I had met the other night, picked everyone up outside Haven hostel at 5.20am!!! Our first stop was at the Adventure Tours office to check in. Shane came and banged on the window to say goodbye to me and Emma :) Scared the crap out of me though cos it was still dark outside! Then Juno drove us all to the Tropic of Capricorn, we stopped for a few pics and then headed off to Barrow Creek Pub. This pub was awesome, the walls were covered in souveneirs and merchandise from all over the world that visitors had left for the guy who works there. This guy was a legend, he knew everything about all his souveneirs, he showed me the new oyster card, which had a picture of Prince William and Kate on it. Crazy!! As if he'd seen it before I did! So, I left him and english stamp as a souveneir.
We then looked at Barrow Creek Telegraph Station, which was just next door. I fell in love with the building that were here, it looked like a really old farm house with a courtyard in the middle. I want it!

We drove for ages, stopping off at various roadhouses along the way. One was called Wycliffe Well, which is the UFO capital in Australia. It was so funny, the whole place was alien themed, the walls were covered in UFO sightings in the area, newspaper articles etc. It was pretty cool.

Eventually we got to the Devils Marbles. It was really fun, we had a climb and took some funny pictures, it was so much fun. It was so hot as well, so we spent a bit of time chilling in the shade. Afterwards, Juno drove us to look at a tree that had been planted by explorer John McDouall Stuart, who was the first guy to explore central Australia. There wasn't much left of the tree, it was kinda just a big stump with a big 'S' carved in it. Juno was pretty funny, building up the anticipation for the tree in a sarcastic way. Anyway, after all that excitement, we drove to our campsite near Tennant Creek. There were actual beds inside the tents, it was sweet as! We didnt do much in the evening, just washed a bit of bush telly (the fire).

Day 2:

I only just got up in time and all that was left was the crappy cereal, Juno packed up the brekkie just after I got some food. This young french couple came in and Juno told them that they were too late and to get up earlier next time if they want breakfast. It was so funny, they just stood there cos they thought he was joking. Anyway, our first stop for the day was at Daly Waters. It was lunch time by the time we got there, so we had a little bbq. Daly Waters was so cool, it was to smallest town ever, one pub, a little souvenier stand, a rundown tennis court, a police station and a telegraph station and a few houses. Thats it. Emma and I made a mock tour video of the town, we walked around the whole place in about 5 minutes. It's such a quirkey little place, there was a wall inside the pub which was covered in number plates, a tree covered in flip-flops, and the inside of the pub was lined with underwear, and other items of clothing. It looked cool though!

After this we drove to the Pink Panther Pub, which as you can imagine was pink panther themed. This pub had a mini free zoo, we saw crocodiles and exotic birds, I was even able to hold a snake!
We then drove to Mataranka. Emma and I had been rotating the front seat of the bus throughout the journey and I was infont for this bot of the trip, it was soooo hot! I thought I was gonna die! Luckily, we went swimming in the thermal pool at Mataranka. It was amazing! It was a natural pool in the middle of the national park, the water was really warm, I could've stayed here all day. Afterwards, we went for a swim at Bitter Springs, which looked like a swamp. It was really nice, we had to be careful of freshwater crocodiles, watersnakes and fish in the water though. It was ok though, I only came across algi. When I swam to the end, Emma and Juno were throwing algi at me and I got it in my eye :( lol.

We then drove to Katherine, we got a few things from the supermarket like marshmallows and chocolate. The security men at the supermarket we legends, Emma and I were having a bit of a laugh with them. I really needed a pee too, so Emma and I found this outdoor toilet that plays music while you pee. It was so funny. Juno had also left me with the keys to bus, so Emma and I were messing about pretending to be the driver until everyone came back.

We stayed at a different campsite tonight, in a place called Banka Banka. We were told to keep an eye out for cane toads, the poisonous ones, and buffalos. I didnt see any though. We all just chilled by the fire, eating marshmallows and comparing drinking games.
Emma tricked me at dinner time by telling me that we were eating buffalo, I was not impressed lol. Turns out it was just beef, but you can never be too sure! Especially seeing as we ate buffalo in Quorn on the last trip!

Today was probably one of the best days ever!

Day 3:
We got up nice and early and went to Katherine Gorge, where we went canoeing. I had a little rash above my eye when I woke up, which was irritating me all day - I reckon it was from the algi that Emma and Juno through at me lol. Anyway, Emma and I shared a canoe, it was really fun. We were racing against the Sydney boys, who were on out trip. We were told to look out for crocodiles, we didnt see any though, just crocodile traps. When we canoed to the end of the gorge, we climbed out and went for a swim in another rock pool. Fish kept nibbling me so I had to get out. We then canoed back up stream to where we started. I got absolutely soaked though for some reason.
After Katherine Gorge, we drove to Edith Falls, which was amazing! We climbed to upper waters and swam in this gorgeous rock pool with a waterfall. Emma, Amy (this american girl on our trip) and I climbed up the rocks and sat under the waterfall. It was amazing. There was a random well in the rocks that you could climb into and swim down about 2 metres, where there was a tunnel that lead back into the rock pool. It was so cool, I didnt do it though cos the water was stinging my eye rash lol.

Afterwards, we headed to Darwin, stopping off at the Adelaide River Pub on the way, which had the Buffalo from Crocodile Dundee in it.
When we got to Darwin, I rang Adnveture Tours and found out that Emma and I were going to be seperated for the last 3 days of our trip, we were gutted. It wasnt so bad for Emma because she was going to be with some of the young people that were on this trip. I negotiated with Adventure Tours and they said they moved me onto the same bus as Emma, and then my phone died mid convo, so I wasnt sure if it was confirmed or not.

When I got to my room in Darwin, these 2 girls were like 'ohh spare bed, here you go' and just pulled all their clothes off the bed. I was really confused. Anyway, the next day I found out that these 2 girls had been camping out in this room for 3 weeks without paying! Crazy!! So one of them had been sleeping in my bed :/

Anyway, I met the rest of our tour group out for dinner and drinks, which was really good fun.

Day 4:
I woke up ridiculously early this morning to see if I was going to be on the same bus as Emma. Turns out I wasn't. I nearly wanted to cry. There was no space on her bus either. I was gutted. So I went back to bed, got up a few hours later and just explored Darwin a bit. It was a really boring day.

Day 5: Kakadu National Park

Today I got up and got on the bus that I was meant to be on. Everyone on my bus was about 30 or over, so I felt a bit lonely. I got on well with the people on my tour though, so it wasnt that bad in the end. This guy called John was hilarious, he was just a bit of a dip stick. He sat next to me for the first bit of the bus journey and spent the first house talking about God. I just wanted to cry lol. Our first stop was for breakfast at a roadhouse in a place called Humpty Doo. We then drove to somewhere near Fogs Dam to be welcomed by the Aboriginal people of the Wulna commiunity. The guy welcoming us was a guy called Grahem, he was really nice. To welcome us, he took a mouthfull of water and spat it on our heads. It was so gross...and I'd just straightened my hair, so i had a curly patch at the front of my head for the rest of the day.

We then did a little boat cruise along the Mary River, we saw lots of unusual wild birds and a few crocodiles. I was so tired, it was interesting but I could barely keep my eyes open lol.

Afterwards, we went somewhere for a climb and to see some Aboriginal rock art. I have no idea where we were, our tour guide Lisa was a bit crap and never told us where we were. We also kept losing her on the walks too lol.

Our campsite that we stayed in was swags only, and all the electricity went out in the toilets at 9pm. It was so shit.

Day 5:
We drove to Twin Falls this morning, and when we pulled up I saw Emma and her bus in the car park, so I legged it off the bus and ran over to say hi. I was so happy to see them! We couldnt chat for long because her group were going on a boat cruise and my group were going to climb Twin Falls. The climb was really tricky, the surface was really unstable, every rock you stepped on would move. After we got to the top and took some photos, we then walked back down and did the boat cruise that Emma had just done. The boat took us to where the waterfalls were meant to be, but because it was the dry season, there was no water coming down.

Afterwards, we drove on the epic 4wd track to Jim jim Falls. We climbed to the top of Jim Jim and had a swim, which was cool, then we swam again at the bottom of Jim Jim. A few of us from our tour swam over to the rocks, where there was a waterfall and a plunge pool. We all jumped in, it was bloody freezing! It was stunning though. When we swam to get out, there was a man swimming next to me and I noticed he started breathing really heavily, so I asked if he was ok and he was turning blue. I didn't want to grab him to help him swim becuase he was quite a big guy and I was worried he would drown me lol, so I kept asking if he was ok and telling him we were almost out, but he wasn't answering me. So his friend noticed, who was sitting on the rocks, he jumped in and pulled his friend out the water. It was really scary! He was ok though. When we got out, we all headed back to the bus where there were two young guys with big bushy beards who asked if we could give them a lift to the main road. One of them, Brad, asked out tour guide if she knew Juno, and she didnt, so I said I did. Such a small world, he said he used to go to school with Juno, and I explained that I'd just had a tour with him, it was funny. Anyway, once we dropped them off we headed off to Barramundi Gorge. We Climbed to the top of the Gorge and had a swim up there. I had a wardrobe malfunction when I was applying my suncream, my bikini top pinged off twice in the process. I was horrified! I dont think anyone saw anything though :s I dont think anyone wouldve cared anyway because we had a pair of Spanish lesbians in their late 50's, who kept swimming topless. It was lovely...

After this swim, we climbed back down the gorge and had a swim at the bottom too. We swam over to the waterfall and jumped off the rocks and stuff. There were loads of big fish too! It was really nice!

After a long day of swimming, we headed back to the campsite.

Day 6:
We had a long drive back to Darwin from Kakadu, but eventually we got back to Darwin. We all met for dinner and drinks at a place called Monsoons. Our tour guide didn't turn up though, which I think was really bad. Anyway, Emma, Jochen (a German guy from my last tour), Brad, Nad and Steve (the Sydney boys from the last tour) met me in Monsoons. We did a bit of a bar crawl around Darwin, it was really good fun. I also bumped into that other Brad guy that knew Juno, so we said hi. Eventually we all headed home, but Jochen stayed out parting til like 4am on his own lol, such a legend.

Turn my Swag On - Adelaide to Alice Springs

Turn My Sway On - Adelaide to Alice Springs

The day I left melbourne, I took an overnight bus to Adelaide, which was hell. I had this really annoying man sitting next to me and he kept nudging me with his elbows the whole time I tried to sleep. I eventually arrived in Adelaide at 6am, and knew I wouldnt be able to check into the hostel til after 10am at the earliest. So I killed about an hour and a half watching videos on my laptop before I got a taxi to the hostel. The hostel turned out to be literally just around the corner, so I felt pretty stupid getting a taxi for a journey that was so short. When I got to the hostel, the guy at reception told me I couldnt check in until 1pm, but could hang out in the tv room and kitchen, so thats what I did, for about 6 and a half hours. I was so tired, I was struggling to stay awake but at 9am, the hostel started serving free pancakes :D

When I was finally able to check into the hostel, I dumped my bags and went to town to buy a few snacks and then slept til about 8pm, got up, had a shower and some dinner and went to meet my cousin Emma and her friends for drinks. Emma and her boyfriend Simon took me to a place called the Wall Shed. It was really cool, proper western style bar with a mechanical bull. I didn't stay out too late because I had to get a bus at about 6.30am for my trip to Alice Springs.

Day 1:
Shane, our tour guide, picked us all up outside the hostel at half 6 in the morning. Our group seemed to be mostly old people, apart from about 4 other people: Babsi, Matt, Emma and Julia :) I sat on the back row with Babsi and Matt, which was really good fun!

Our first stop was a place called Clare Valley, where we had brekkie and saw a wobbly bridge. We then travelled all the way to a town called Quorn, which is in the middle of nowhere. The village looks really western, just like in the movies. We stayed in an old flour mill, which we shared with another tour group heading in the opposite direction. After we found our rooms and had some lunch, we went to the Dutchman's Stern for a hike. We did a 4km walk up the mountain, whichw was hard work but the view was amazing. We got an epic view of the Flinders Rangers and the Spence Gulf. The weather wasnt great but we could still see for miles, despite the clouds!

In the evening, we had a bbq, where I tried Kangeroo and Buffalo! I preferred the kangeroo! Then after dinner, a few of us watched Pricilla Queen of the Desert in the TV room. Its about 3 trannys that travel through the centre of Australia to get to Alice Springs. It was really good, but really odd.

Day 2:Today we got up bright and early and drove to the Flinders Rangers National Park. I was so cold this morning, I had so many layers on, at least 2 hoodies and 2 long sleeve tops! We did another hike here to see Wilpena Pound. I think we walked about 6km. It was a nice walk but the view wasnt as impressive at the Dutchman's Stern. We were meant to do another walk, which would've been another 2.5km but the weather was a bit crap so we headed back to the bus for lunch. We saw some wild emu's wondering around while we were eating our packed lunch, it was so cool!!
After lunch, we went to the Yourambulla Caves to look at some Aboriginal rock art. Shane told us a little bit about the plants in the area and gave us a little demo on how the Aboriginal people would use them for medical purposes etc. It was really interesting.
Afterwards, we went to the Kanyaka Homestead. We saw the ruins of where the old sheep farmers lived and worked. The buildings were really nice, I want a country house that looks like these house lol. Preferrably still in one piece though!
On the way back to Quorn, we stopped off at Warren Gorge to see some rock wallabies. They were really hard to see, especially for me because I have crap eyesight. I manage to see a few hopping about though.

Back at the hostel, Shane and the other tour guide, Cara cooked us stew and crumble for dinner, which was really nice! And then a few of us were going to watch Wolf Creek afterwards but this irish lad called James, from the other tour group, persuaded Emma, Matt, Babsi and I to go to the pub with him and this Swiss guy from his tour. The pub was really weird, proper hillbilly place, and it closed at 10pm so we weren't there for long!

Day 3:Today we drove to Cobber Pedy. On our long drive there, we stopped at this amazing salt lake in Glendambo. The salt lake was called the Heart Lake or something, and it was the most beautiful place ever. I could've stayed there forever, there was not alot of water and the ground was pure salt. I can't describe how nice it was, and the sun was shining too. It was perfect.
When we got to Coober Pedy, we arrived at our accommodation, which was caves!! It was so cool! They were nice and warm and fully furnished, more like houses that had been dug out of the hills. We had dinner at a pizza place, then went for drinks at an underground/cave bar. The barman kept giving me and Emma free drinks, which was fine by us! Pretty cushty!

Day 4:Spending a night in a cave was really good, probably one of the best nights sleep I've ever had! Our first activity today was to go to the Opal Museum next door where we were taught about Opal mining. The lady gave us a demo of how to cut and polish an opal, which was cool, and gave us a guided tour around the mines. It was really interesting, but im not a fan of Opals.
Afterwards, Shane took us on a little tour around Coober Pedy and took us noodling for opal. He found a stone for me which had a bit of opal in, I was hacking away at this rock for ages trying to get this opal out. I gave up in the end and just threw the stone in my bag. I ended up losing this stone anyway somewhere along the rest of the trip. I dont know how, the rock was just a bit smaller than a tennis ball, so who knows how I lost it!

After that, we had free time to explore Coober Pedy, so Babsi, Emma, Matt, Julia and I went to look at the Catholic Church, which was so cute! It was really small and built in a cave. I would so get married in it, its so cute! We then went to the Old TImers Musuem where a guide showed us how to use the rock sorting maching. The guide was a right loon, clearly spent his entire life digging for Opal, hoping to make a fortune, which had obviously make him a bit loopy in the head. He was missing most of his teeth, real hill billy lol, he was cool. Then we found the BIG Winch! It was big. It was also pretty random.

After free time, we said goodbye to fruit loops of Coober Pedy and set off on the bus to a town called Marla. A pair of french guys from our tour group insisted on cooking the dinner for us, which was meant to be stir fry. The could not have buggered it up more...so Emma, Babsi and I took over (which the frenchies were not happy about), and we did our best to fix it. The frenchies wouldnt eat it because we'd 'touched the food'...so lame! At least it was edible! After 'dinner', we all sat by the campfire and I met a guy from another tour who was from Chelmsford! So weird, he went to Kegs and everything, small world!

Tonight, we all slept in swags. Swags are a canvas bag with a matress in, so you sleep inside that with your sleeping bag. It was so nice sleeping under the stars, and I slept surprisingly well!

Day 5:We got up at 5.30am and got straight on the bus, still in my pj's. We stopped at the Northern Terrirtory boarder to have breakfast and get dressed. I stupidly dropped my knickers in an ants nest, so I literally got ants in my pants. Once we were all ready, we hopped back on the bus and drove to Kings Canyon. Kings Canyon was amazing, I loved it here. The steps to get to the top were pretty challenging, but so worth it. I don't know what it is about Kings Kanyon, but it was so nice. In the middle of the Canyon walk, we came across the Garden of Eden, which was so pretty. There were water holes, and exotic looking trees. It was beautiful. After our walk, we watched the sunset, had dinner and swagged it up. Shane warned us about dingos, telling us to keep our shoes in the swags cos the dingos steal them in the night! We didnt have any problems though, but we could hear them howling in the distance.

Day 6:We went to Kata Tjuta for a walk this morning. It was really good, some steep rocks to climb! One guy who was passing me slipped because he was being impatient, luckily I caught him lol, somehow! The bell end didnt even say thanks! The place was packed with tourists though, we did the Valley of the Winds walk, which seemed to be pretty popular! Once we finished, we drove to watch the sunset at Uluru. It was really good! We had cheap champers and biscuits with dips, while we watched the sunset. We swagged it again tonight, I had the worst nights sleep ever. I just couldnt sleep, I wanted to cry when I saw how slow the time was going, everytime I looked at my phone I was praying that it would be time to get up lol.

Day 7:Luckily we got up really early to watch the sunrise at Uluru. We all did a base walk around Uluru as the sun rose, I had a horrible migrane throughout the entire walk, probably from the lack of sleep. We probably walked about 6km and halfway through I really needed to pee, so I had to wee in the sacred area. I felt really bad but I couldnt hold it any longer! After the walk, Shane picked us up and drove us to the cultural centre. It was ok, some interesting stuff. We then went back to Uluru for our guided walk. We were meant to have an Aboriginal guide but there had been a death in the community, so Shane had to do the guided tour instead. It was so funny, one of the frenchies was recording everything Shane said with a dictaphone. So weird! Luckily, Shane knew all the info and little dreamtime stories, which made the walk really interesting.
On the way to Alice Springs, we stopped off to look at Mount Connor, aka Fooluru. Mount Connor looks a bit like Uluru, and is often mistaken, so that was pretty funny.

Once we arrived in Alice Springs, we all met for a goodbye dinner and drinks and a bar called The Rock. It was really nice, and afterwards, Babsi, Matt, Emma, Julia, Shane and I all went to the Casino for drinks and a dance. It was such a fun night out! We met a few of Shane's friends too, one of them was a guy called Juno, who was going to be my tour guide for my trip up to Darwin!

Alice Springs: 
We had a day to chill in Alice Springs, Babsi made the nicest lunch ever for us all, we were all so tired! We got up to go and have a free didgeridoo lesson, but it didnt run on a Saturday. Shane text us asking if we wanted to have drinks round his house, so we all showered, did our washing and then went to his. We met his housemate Steve, who is also from Essex! So we were chatting shit about where we used to go out in Chelmsford and stuff lol. It was really nice to have a chilled out day.
