It’s the end of day 8 of the New Zealand leg of the trip, day 57 of the trip overall. I’m in a small community town called Dairy Flat, about 60km north of Auckland, the largest city in the country (although not the capital). It has been an eventful 8 days, days I’ve spent in my NZD$35-a-day campervan touring Northland, the rugged finger of land stretching for some 400+kms north of Auckland. Up here it’s all about natural attractions; it’s a sparsely populated area of

It’s day 49 of the trip & I’m just about ready to say goodbye (for now) to Australia. I’m sitting in the departures lounge of Melbourne airport waiting for my flight to Auckland, New Zealand.

That’s my excuse for not having too many pictures this week, but I guess that’s gonna be the case every now and then as I pass the weeks on this trip. I have taken a few pictures

Hello again,

It has been yet another busy week & I’ve been moving a lot. When last you heard from me I was in the damp, chilly, relaxed highlands of Malaysia. From there I went to the warm hustle & bustle of squeaky-clean, structured Singapore only to follow that up by dealing with the noise, pollution & general unkempt scruffiness of the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur. Right now I’m in (or is it on?) the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. It’s
