OC in the Outback

So sorry it has taken forever for me to update. Things have really picked up here down under. Also I am pretty lazy.

So two weeks ago I was in the outback. It was quite a good time, I’d say one of the better times of this trip. As it was, it went by in a flash. Ten days is a lot of adventures though so I’ll try to give the short story of the best ones.

It was a lot of driving on the bus of which I spent most of the time sleeping or looking out the window. We camped in tents or slept under the stars. We went to a place called Monkey Mia and wild dolphins swam right up to us. We saw tiger sharks and manta rays in Shark Bay. Millions and millions of flies were everywhere. Coral Bay was snorkeling with sea turtles and crazy big fish. Oh and a reef shark. It was really fun there. We partied with the crazy Germans and Austrian on the trip. Then we headed back south to a huge national park. The skeeters were pretty bad. But the kangaroos and gorges were worth it. We spent two days climbing in and out of gorges and swimming in fresh lakes and waterfalls. It was amazing. Then we headed back to Perth, stopping at a mining town on the way and having a nice relaxing camp and BBQ.

The stars were so clear and beautiful. Our guide was the coolest guy. The group was so fun and the trip was once in a lifetime. I’ll put together a slide show of the photos after I finish the assignment I am working on. And I’ll post a story about the trailer breaking too.

I didn’t want to leave the trip but it was nice to get back to my own bed and shower. It was also good to see all the Australian friends I have made. I am so behind on this blog now and the trip set me back in reading (although I am almost caught up) so I’m going to get back to reading and then seriously sit down and update this until I get caught up.
