Hi everyone, hope you are all well!

After spending Christmas and New Year in Sydney, I flew over to Perth (Western Australia). I have been doing a lot of exploring and activities whilst here so far. These include climbing and zip lining from the Matagarup bridge, cycling around Rottenest Island, attending an Aboriginal cultural experience and visiting many beautiful beaches.

I originally worked in a childcare setting for the school holidays. Since the start of February, I have been working in a Secondary school teaching maths as well as relief (supply) across all subjects. For the rest of the term I will also be taking two year 7 digital technology classes too. I have been on year 7 camp in swan valley for a few days doing different activities – similar to your residential.

Once the term is over, I will be continuing my travels. I’m visiting New Zealand in May and hoping to visit all 5 states and 2 territories before my trip ends. I have already visited 3 states so far.

Here are some pictures of Perth and surrounding areas!

Hi everyone!

I have been very busy exploring since my last post.
Since then, I have visited Surfers Paradise, Brisbane, Noosa, Rainbow Beach, Fraser Island – K’gari, Airlie Beach, the Whitsundays, Magnetic Island and I am now in Cairns.

Some of my highlights have been driving on the beaches of Fraser Island (the world’s biggest sand island), sailing around the Whitsunday islands, skydiving in Airlie, scenic flight and snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef!!!

Enjoy the pictures!

Hi everyone!

Stop number 2 up the east coast = Byron Bay.
Whilst being here I have enjoyed sunbathing, dolphin kayaking, surfing, bracelet making, morning yoga, watching the sunrise/sunset and walking to the lighthouse. I’ve really loved visiting Byron Bay, it’s such a beautiful place.

Enjoy the picture!

Hi everyone!

After a safe flight over, my first city to explore was Sydney. I’ve managed to do a lot of activities whilst here such as climbing the harbour bridge, a tour of inside the opera house and visiting the zoo and beaches.

Here are some pictures of my travels so far:

1. Flight path – I flew Edinburgh to Doha then Doha to Sydney. Sydney was a busy airport so we had to loop round a couple of times before landing.

2. The view from the top of the bridge.

3. Statue in memory of Jørn Utzon. He was the architect who designed the opera house after winning a competition. During the tour the Sydney Symphony Orchestra were rehearsing, this was amazing to see in action.

4. This is the opera house lite up at night for Remembrance Day.

5. A kangaroo in real life!!! They are on the Australian coat of arms along with an emu as they are animals native to Aus and can’t travel backwards signifying how Australia is always moving forward.

Byron Bay next, speak soon – Miss McCaskie
