I arrived in Hong Kong on Saturday evening, after about 9 hours of airplane from Sydney. I droped my baggages in my hotel in Causeway Bay, and around midnight I joined my friends living in Hong Kong in Wan Chai, in front of Joe Bananas, a quiete famous pub. They introduced to me the night […]
My airplane for Hong Kong is taking off around 16h. In the morning, I’m going to the flea market in the Rocks. I’m feeling like in a French South city here. Very nice.
Today I have been to Manly by ferry. It’s a nice area, with a busy main street. When I came back to Sydney, I went to shopping. I have been seducted by a Didjeridu I bought from a friendly Lebanese guy on Pitt Street. In the evening I’m meeting Nicolas in a pub, for my […]
I’m visiting the Sydney Opera House, one of the world’s most important modern buildings. I’m spending time in the Royal Botanical Garden, bit impressive with the numerous bats living here. Art Gallery of New South Wales is my next destination. Very interesting gallery where aboriginal art and contemporary art are sharing the same space. After […]

I’m going to Lone Pine Koala sanctuary today, near from Brisbane. I’m in Australia since more than 10 days now and I haven’t yet seen any Koala, so visiting this zoo was really necessary. I’m feeling Australia here ! Feeding the Kangaroos was a great experience. At 20h00, I’m catching my air plane to go […]

I go to Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort for this day, to practice quad and snorkelling. And in the evening the event is on the jetty. It was the first time […]

I’m going to Surfers Paradise by train and by bus for a day on the beach. Too much hot … In the evening, I meet Asumi, Yuko, and their friend Ayako living in Brisbane, but for the first time it is not accidentally! We planed this dinner from Alice Springs.

This morning I’m leaving Alice Springs. And try to guess who I’m meeting in Alice Springs airport ? Asumi and Yuko are visiting one of their friend in Brisbane. But we don’t share the same airplane: they are going to Brisbane through Darwin, I’m going to Brisbane through Sydney. For my first day in Brisbane, […]

Last day of this safari. Today we are going to the Olgas, known as Kata Tjuta. It’s a bizarre collection of rounded rocks. After it is time to go back to Alice Springs. There was a good atmosphere in our group during these 3 days, and we decided to have dinner all togheter in Alice […]
Today we are going to Ayers Rock, called Uluru by Aboriginal people. I don’t climb on it. Climbing Uluru goes against Aboriginal spiritual beliefs. We walked around Uluru during about two hours. Great landscape ! For the sunset, we are joining our camp in Yulara. Amazing colors … We are spending the night in a […]
