We have 2 weeks to sell this place until the sharks of realestate agents get their grimy hands on it (that and $12,000 of our hard earned cash). So today was a madhouse of slashing and tidying up the yard. We are trying to make the house appear to have some semblance of order.

We’re getting towards theend of summer
What was 9 oclock before it became dark is now 8:30
and rapidly geting sooner…….
It’s hard to tell when Autumn arrives, all the gums stay green
all year round, you have to look for thos nasty imported species
with their decidious yellow leaves to tell.
We have even had to light a fire […]

Now we faced a dilemma, we could get a free ferry ride across the Bass Straight if we left about a week early, this would mean we had an extra week to kill in Tasmania. The ferry company offered us free passage in return for what they mysteriously called ‘promotional opportunities’. We accepted their kind […]

It always takes a bit of an effort to set off from somewhere that we have been
happy. After a year on the road luxury is a rarity. Our ‘landlord’ Andrew had
contacted us as we left Singapore to offer free accomodation, what he didn’t
explain was that it would come with a free pool and soppy German […]

As the only plane of our trip skimmed over the first northern suburbs of
Darwin, which were only just visible in the pre-dawn gloom, the realization
struck us that we had actually managed it - we’d actually cycled to Australia.
