After a beautiful week in Newcastle with friends I'm moving on up the coast to Rockhampton to meet another friend of mine. Newcastle has been even more than what I had expected. I have been shown the true town by Aussies that live here, I have gone harbour fishing, experienced the night life, walked the beaches and harbour, been dolphin watching in Nelson Bay and had the wonderful but slightly different food! My experience here has been an awesome first impression, and I hope one day to come back and visit! I got to see a lot more than a normal tourist would have because of the people I stayed with, and the places they took me too. From Rockhampton we are taking a bus to Hervey Bay and visiting Fraser Island which is a huge sandbar island and hopefully going 4wheeling around it, and then I head down to Brisbane to fly to Melbourne to start school in a few weeks. I will write more about my time on the coast soon! I hope to figure out how to post some pictures of my time so far, so keep in touch! Lots of Love

Hi everyone,
I'm now in Newcastle after a 23 hour trip! I'm living right now with a friend that I worked with in Victoria, and he and all his friends are showing me the ropes of Newcastle. I stayed at his parents for the first couple days and enjoyed home cooked meals, a private pool, and great company! It's definately not what I expected backpacking to feel like, but no complaining!
I experienced true Oz last night, we went out of Australia day and saw the lively city celebrate their country. I have enjoyed the beaches, food, people and the sun :) I have no plans set out so in a couple days I could end up in the North, I'm just going day to day! I'm getting more used to their accent, when I first got here I would have to think of what they were saying before I could answer, but it's getting easier and easier.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I arrived safetly and that it has been great fun the last few days! Hope everyone is well back home!
Love Kira

My last day in Victoria will be Jan 19th before I leave for Australia! I hope to see everyone before I leave :)
