Sure-footed, by Kieran Campbell 15/10/09 – 18/10/09 While I was staying in Kununurra, I met a guy who was staying in the hostel for a few nights who didn't look quite like the regular backpacker. He turned out to be a local-ish guy on business, opting to stay in the…

Hidden Valley, by Kieran Campbell After another predictably uncomfortable but unusually eventful trip (a guy got chucked off at Halls Creek for being drunk and a little bit touchy-feely with some of the other passengers) it was bliss to be walking into my air-conditioned dorm at the Kimberley Croc YHA…

Cable Beach Dawn, by Kieran Campbell Broome plays host to two iconic stellar events - the most well known probably being the sunset over Cable Beach. I spent all of Sunday at Cable Beach with Annie, Sarah and Tracy - who'd I'd been kayaking with in Coral Bay - with…

Town Beach, by Kieran Campbell 27/9/09 - 6/10/09 After spending a few weeks living out of IGAs and smaller local 'supermarkets' it was nice to be arriving in a town serviced by Coles and Woolworths. If there's one thing that I find hard to be a budget-shopper for, it's food.…

Why not to travel Greyhound

Overlander, by Kieran Campbell With a few trips under my belt I can say pretty strongly that I hate travelling with Greyhound. The first 6 hour trip from Perth to Geraldton felt long and maybe a bit uncomfortable – but then I wasn’t trying to sleep so I wasn’t too…

Exmouth Imprints, by Kieran Campbell Thanks to a lift from Emma and Rachel – who’d I’d been bumping into since Geraldton – I was in Exmouth at 11pm instead of the Greyhound time of 4am. After having to show the bar staff at the YHA Potshot Resort that one of…

Spangled Emperors, by Kieran Campbell 19/9/09 – 24/9/09 Due to the timing of the West Australian Greyhound service, this was the second place I arrived at in darkness and, much like my first morning in Denham, waking up and realising that I was in a tropical paradise was pretty cool.…

A week of dolphins, ‘roos and roadhouses Waiting for my connecting buses in the Binnu and Overlander roadhouses gave me plenty time to ponder whether my 3 nights in Kalbarri had been long enough. It felt like it had gone past quickly, maybe too quickly, but I figured if I…

Kalbarri – first views of the BIG side of Oz

Being off the main Greyhound route, my pre-welcome party to Kalbarri consisted of a taste of one of the more annoying parts of life in, and close to, the tropics as I awaited my connecting bus in Binnu: lots and lots of flies. Not just lazily buzzing around and getting…

Finally on my own, on the road and free. First: 6 hours on the Greyhound to the heart of the midwest. This first bus trip probably set a precedent for how much bus journeys – especially on public transport – are not going to grow on me. With the seat…

This may turn out to be quite a half-hearted attempt at a documenting my trip as i’m writing it all on my phone but here goes anyway.. My first week in oz saw my uncle and i travelling along the south coast through Walpole and albany. After 6 hours spent…
