Tales of the Cheap Travellers

Tash and I loved Vanu, so we decided to get our own! Meet Chaz!
Fully equipped with sink (that you fill up), pot, pan, plates and bowls, utensils, and mattresses!

Purchased two amazing CD's that made the 10hours of driving a day go by way faster!

Next stop... ULURU

Emi, Tash

Our last breakfast! We made a "Traditional Canadian Breaky". And Elise drew a beautiful pastell of me!!

Made it alive to Alice!!

Devil's Marbles for lunch!

A classic pose from Elise and Laura. And Tash.

Almost at Alice. Tash and I were very grateful to end our sleepless nights living in a tent with no blankets, pillows, or mattresses.

Absolutely stunning thermal river with a slight current to float down.

An average lunch!

More thermal pools. Clear, warm, fresh water springs.

Amazing

Highway dining. No seasoning.
In Australia you don't sit around the fire like you would in Canada. You sit about 20 feet away from it beacuse it's already 30 C outside.

Kangaroo meat. Hot, tough, red, just like the outback.

Delicious!

5 girls stranded on the side of the highway. It's not a surprise we had 3 cars pull over to help us!

These 2 army men were very nice and changed the tire for us!

Tash and I had a blast in Darwin hanging poolside for 2 days with the Queensland Rugby Legue Team. Unfortunately no pictures were taken.

On the bulletin board at our hostel there was a post from a french girl named Laura advertising space in her van for a road trip to Alice Springs- Exactly where Tash and I wanted to go! We met up with her and another french girl Elise and decided to leave bright and early the next morning. We met up with Lenna a girl from Korea, did some grocery shopping, packed the van and off we went!

The first stop was Litchfield National Park.

Florence Falls

Watching the sun set.

Dinner and warm wine.

More waterfalls in Litchfield. Wangi Falls.

A short hike to a look out. But look out...

Back on the road again.
Giant termite mounds!

Edith Falls at sunset.

Katherine Gorge.

Hike to a look out.

Looking fore more passengers because Lena decided to leave the tribe.

Some shots of the city.

Durian and shaved ice... EWWW. And it melted into soup.

We took the subway A LOT.

They didnt believe us when I said that we were Singapore students so we didn't get a discount on the flyer. AKA we didnt go.

Marina Bay

T and I tried to sneak into the boat/park on top of the three towers. But they wouldnt let us without paying $20.00. NO THANKS. We looked out the window instead. The elevator took us to the 56th floor in THREE SECONDS. iT WAS SO FAST THAT MY EARS HURT.

Bubble tea with mini pearls!!

Merlion... Mermaid Lion

Ya we did! Piercings in chinatown!

It looks like I'm wearing shoes. But really it's just dirt on my feet in the shape of my flip flops. Cool.

^ I don't know why, but he made me hold his hand...

Little India to celebrate Deepavali!

A really cool jungle restaurant for children. We're children.

We went to the highest rooftop bar IN THE WORLD. We were only there for half an hour before it was evacuated on account of the lightning.

Goodbye Asia! Here we come Australia!
