since the east coast is rather busy with people on a camping trip, there are lots of signs to prevent hordes of campers to stay just anywhere. still some seem rather superfluous… hardly readable at, this sign is not only standing in the middle of the forest but is also surrounded by a small lake.… Continue reading camping

byron bay
the first people i ran into were three buskers from ireland offering me some ice cream. a good start. and after a long time without any places in the worldtourguide, byron bay is home of the rails/ railway friendly bar, the recommendation from dorit. there is live music on every night. mostly folk, blues and… Continue reading byron bay
a wrap-up of the last three months
after the road trip along the westcoast, ben and myself jumped on an airplane in broome (this was at the end of may) which took us to brisbane where the remains of my bicycle were waiting for me to being put together again. it took me a while to gather the motivation for the task… Continue reading a wrap-up of the last three months
broome
after a long day’s drive we checked into a hostel to wash off the dust from the road and to drift through the nightlife with a bed waiting at the end of the party. there is more or less just one club most people go to. the only club for hundreds of miles. some change… Continue reading broome
red bluff

magaret river
the hostel has a wonderful atmosphere. more like a small village with enough quiet corners to read a book or pick up the guitar. the football field was used for that if there was no game on and the swimming pool was perfect to take a dip afterwards and during the hot days that followed.… Continue reading magaret river
fremantle
after leaving perth there are no big cities to speak of in western australia. with a population of 10.000, fremantle is still one of the bigger ones. the atmosphere is relaxed, a lot of creative people live here or pass through and half of the people seem to be on holiday. the streets are filled… Continue reading fremantle
lombok
at padang bai, the ferry port to lombok, some of the “usual guys” tried to persuade me to get an accommodation. this time the ferry was supposed to be broken and the sea rolling with huge waves, a storm advancing and the gods were upset anyway… after a 4 hour boat ride and some hours… Continue reading lombok
