We arrived in Australia at 4am this morning all safe and well and very excited. We nearly had a heart attack having had to pay $75 a night in our hostel, a far cry from SE Asia. We woke late and had to pay a further 75 for today.  This has reassured us of our decision to buy a campervan and hopefully save on accommodation costs.

We went to a travel agents early and have booked a 6 day tour to and around Ayres Rock and Alice Springs which includes a flight up to Cairns.  From there we hope to pick up a bargain camper.  There will be no updates for at least the next week while we camp our way across the outback. 

We have purchased a new sim so hopefully we can be contacted on that for emergencies and otherwise: +61 48875 8162.

G’day.
