Today we unfortunately have to leave Sydney again. We really liked it here. But now we have another great tour ahead. We are driving with the camper van along the Great Ocean...

Sydney is another highlight of our trip. I now understand why it is loved and revered. The people are full of life, and we felt the "Nine to Five" work culture that is supposed...

We slept very well in a bed after two sleepless nights. However, I was surprised by a 6 cm large cockroach (without its long antennae) in the bathroom last night, which I would...

Everything at the camp was wet, red, and muddy the next morning, and it keeps raining. No fire, no hot water, no tea, no coffee. Pack everything up, wet and dirty as everything...

Today, all I can say is that it was amazing. We snorkeled at the world's largest coral reef. Stretching over a length of about 2,000 km, the Great Barrier Reef extends from...

At night we could only hear the chirping of insects and the waterfall right next to us, so we could sleep well again. Cooler than the other nights on the coast, only about 23...

Gorgeous sunrise at 6:00 am under palm trees and mango trees. The only drawback of the place was that we got bitten for the first time since we've been here. It started last...

After a 7-hour flight, then a layover in Cairns, we unfortunately could not continue flying due to an engine failure. With a 2-hour delay, we continued to Brisbane. Another...
