After our last Greyhound trip in Australia and Steph’s last overnight bus, we arrived in the not so sunny Melbourne. The lovely Rien came to pick us up, another good friend from our Contiki tour around America in 2008. It’s strange thinking back when we all said our good byes thinking we would never see…

9 Days in Brisbane & Two Become Three From Wales
After our time in Noosa, we headed down the coast a little further to Brisbane. Well when I say a little, it was a 12 hour overnight Greyhound trip. But that’s still just popping down the road here in Australia.
