Joel's Trip Down Under

Well i have beein in and around Perth now for about six weeks now and i have enjoyed the city, i have been into the centre and have visited many beaches and all of it has been really good but i am now ready to move on to new things and head down the south west corne of the country and get on the road again as that is what i am seeing Australia as vast wilderness and being at one with nature (corny), no but seriously i have found it move excting travelling from place to place than the place it self, its very strange.

I have also worked for a couple of weeks since being here in a place called Madurah in a small carnival which has been an experience especially as we have lived there to with some of the other men who work there who have been really cool and i have been on fishing trips and caught my first fish and had dolphins swimming around the boat and also have operated all sorts of different rides which has been good fun and something that i would never ever have done in the UK but i have had my fill of that and am definately ready to move on and see new things.

Well it has taken 3 weeks but i am finally in Perth, I have seen lots of cool things from the gorges in Karajini National park and then to Turtles in Exmouth and sharks in Coral bay and then a crazy lady in Carnarvon who let all of us stay in her house. After that we had a Jeep stuck in the mud and 17 of us had to dig it out and then the next day it got stuck in the sand and had to be dragged out by a tow truck. Spent many a night dancing and drinking in rest areas along the way. Then the final haul was through Geraldton and the the Pinnicles and then into perth which seems like a really nice city.

Well i have been on the road foe a few days now and it is going well, i am now getting used to sleeping on the floor in the middle of nowhere. We haven't managed to see many interesting sights yet except for 80 mile beach which looked amazing but the water was full of sharp rocks which i managed to slice my hand, but hopefully in the next few days we will be in a national park swimming in gorges and jumping off waterfalls, so it is something to look forward too.

Well i am currently in a place called Port Hedland which is a bit of a dump as it is just really a mining town with a few shops so we are just going to restock on food and drink and then head off.

All in all things are going well and i just need a shower as i am a bit minging.

Well I have been in Broome for 5 days and now tommorrow i leave with a lot of people making our way down to perth which i am really loking forward to.

Broome has been really nice and have pretty much spent all day everyday sitting on a beach and swimmming in the sea and have gone a lovely colour but also have to be careful as the sun is so much stonger and have been a little burnt (whoops). Have met a lot of cool people who i am travelling with and most of them are germans, I swear they are trying to take over the world again starting in Australia, but they are a good bunch. Also have a fellow welsh man which is cool and then the rest is made up of an Irish girl and a swedish guy.

Well i will hopefully have pictures up on the net soon for the last few weeks and then you can see what i have been up with the beaches, palm trees, sunsets and beer.

Well i'm on the road for a bit now so speak when i can.

Well I left Darwin at 7:15am on Monday morning and Tuesday at 9:05am i have arrived to Broome. The journey was not to bad they put on films which managed to keep me entertained for small parts of the trip but i hardly had any sleep and have got to the hostel come straight out and walked around in this stupid heat, but never mind. I am all well and going to hopefully see the sun set today and the go look at some dinosaur foot prints tommorrow, i will keep you posted.
