Karangi shipwreck

This week i went to have a walk close to the Sydney Olympic Park. Can you imagine those games where 13 years ago? I hardly do!

Anyway.. I went there because I wanted to see a shipwreck being there for over 40 years. The ship itself was made in 1941, and went to war shortly after the construction has been finished.

It's a cute walk, easy to get there by train and to get to the park. I guess not so many people get there, especially during autumn, so it was a bit empty, but more enjoyable from my point of view :)

I got a coffee and a wrap and then walked toward the wreck. You can see birds and spiders all along the way. Quite fresh but so enjoyable because of the warn sun! Few people were riding their bikes, such a good place for that!

I did not really take any pics of the wreck itself it seems but here's the video!

Travel briefing

Traveling is fun ! that's my last 3 weeks around Australia :) but i'm glad it's finished tho ! because i'm broke, need to go back to work now and save for the next trip :)

And thanks to Google Latitude that's keeping track for me, I can see I've already done one third, it's quite a long way to go but i'll get there sometime ! (wish they would have start the service before, I'd be even further at this time :)

But you know, I got plans ! And I hope to do the blue part in 2012 (which will be hard to do), it's gonna help me getting to the moon !

Where are YOU going this year ? ;)

Cairns, north Queensland :)

Alright, Alice Springs is warm and dry, Cairns is warm and wet! U feel the humidity directly after the first step out of the plane!

But it's a nice small city to visit, rain forest walks, scuba diving, snorkeling and sky diving can be done there, so you can keep yourself busy!!

It's really touristic and there are backpackers everywhere. But there's no beach! Yep the coast is not really the best to chill in the sand and crystal blue water.. mud and brown water is what's waiting for you there.. but in the middle of the city, right aside the ocean, there's a public swimming pool, with some sand benches and that's really cool!

We stayed only few days and we did some snorkeling which was really great! Colorful fishes, turtles, giant clams were here to give us a nice time :)

Australia's centre

So finally we land in Alice Springs, NT where the weather is finally really Australian :)

We jump in a shuttle going to one of the backpacker "in town" and we arrive in a cosy, relax backpacker named Annie's place, quite cheap, but good value, a swimming pool, free Wi-Fi what else do we need?

We book a room for three nights and a tour the day after to go to Uluru!

The tour is a bit expensive, but after doing it, quite a good value, relax, interesting, not rushy and fun!

And what an experience, really enjoy going there.. tomorrow we fly to Cairns, Qld! Yeah back to the beach!
