For the few friends I have back home, I’ll be back tomorrow 😬 my trip has come to an end. Thanks to everyone that’s been a part of it! Looking forward to seeing y’all back home - LG x (at Melbourne Airport)

Last update

As my trip is reaching the end, I just wanted to write one last update.

This journey has been amazing firstly, I never thought Australia would be such a lovely country. Every single person I’ve met has been really nice and I haven’t had any problem with anyone... Except from one person trying to steal stuff in my backpack.

But some of the sights I’ve seen have blown my mind, some of the things I’ve done have equally done the same. It’s just been incredible. Now I might still use this page to upload random photos of the trip. But there’s not much point as everyone reading this I’ll see at some point and will you show in person.

It’s been fun writing and keeping a log of things I’ve done. And one last thanks to everyone that has read this. Without the support of friends and family I wouldn’t have gone through with going - I’m super happy I did.

For my last two days, I’m going to visit the Immigrant museum and also the MCG for a stadium tour and the sports museum which is in the MCG. One of the biggest stadiums in the world. Should be a good one!

For one last time

One of my favourite photos I’ve taken. Melbourne’s skyline on a perfectly clear, sunny day. Way back in early January!

Final week

Today marks my last week in Australia. It has absolutely flown by me - it feels like I’ve stood still for 5 minutes and 3 weeks have gone down the drain!

I’m just glad I’ve been able to actually explore and see so many cool things. The next 7 days I’ll try to be active as I can seeing things that I didn’t in the first stint in Melbourne.

I cannot wait to set foot back in the UK though. To be back home will make me very happy. This whole experience has been surreal! Nothing I haven’t said before haha onwards and upwards

Cya Tasmania. It’s been a blast. (at Hobart Airport)

Quick update

Today marks 1 week since I arrived in Hobart, it’s really been super. The first 3-4 days I went out to the many museum options and got to know the city well. The last few days I’ve been spending in the hostel looking for jobs back home. Whilst stressful, it’s actually been a welcome break and a nice rest.

I’m here till Tuesday, then I head back to Melbourne to spend my last week. Then I’m back in the Kingdom! January seemed to last forever, February is over halfway done and I can’t quite believe it. Anyway here’s some photos from an old convict jail in Hobart.

PS: the carvings are from those that were in the holding dock, underneath the courtroom waiting to be sentenced (the jail turned into a court for a while)

They did say don’t touch the Tasmanian Devil display.. (at Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery)

Update for y’all

Greetings from Hobart, Tasmania.. I’ve spent the last few days in Launceston which was okay, there were a couple things to do there but not loads. I went to their museum, maybe if I go back next week I’ll explore more.

Anyway I’m in Hobart, I arrived today by bus and there is a lot to do which is great and will keep me occupied. I arrived around 1:30pm so got to my hostel which was only a 3 minute walk from the bus station. Checked in, dumped my luggage and went for a nice afternoon stroll.

It’s 8:27pm as I’m typing, watching Australia vs England T20 cricket on the tv. Had plenty to eat today, already paid for an additional night staying here I really like this hostel. It’s right in the city centre of Hobart so everything I need is walking distance. Happy days.

Cheers

Cya Adelaide it’s been a blast! Stopover in Melbourne then into Tasmania #radelaide (at Adelaide Airport)

[lewinaus]

Little update

In around 5 hours Lewy G is headed back to Melbourne. But he isn’t leaving the airport. About 8/9 hours after he lands in Melbourne, he’s catching another flight to Launceston, Tasmania.

A destination I don’t know much about or even planned on visiting but that’s half the fun!

What a lovely evening for football. It’s 7:15pm and 30 degrees ffs. #straya #adelaideunited #footballnotsoccer (at Coopers Stadium)

Quick update

Currently in Adelaide, had an eventful last 7 days or so. Been in Canberra, Sydney and now Adelaide.

Personal highlights, War Museum and and National Museum in Canberra, Foo Fighters concert and Bondi to Coogee beach walk in Sydney and catching up with family and having a look around the Oval Cricket Ground in Adelaide. Already booked my next flight on to Melbourne next Tuesday.

Gunna try and go from Melbourne onto somewhere cheap as I don’t really wanna spend my last 3 weeks in one place! But we shall see I’m equally happy spending that time in Melbourne to be fair. Anyway I haven’t booked anything further from Melbourne yet.

All is good though my end. LG x

Airport life at 6:30am. Next stop Adelaide! LG x
