Theirs a couple of us (males 26 ish) decided to escape the dull uk weather and people, and brave it in oz, starting in august 2006 and with no real agenda on where we're going or when we're coming back. Anywhoos we're pretty brasic so the trip is gonna be part funded by casual work, and a stingy mentality ...hehe. Thinking about starting off in Perth but open to suggestions. If your off on your travels anytime around then and fancy meeting up for a bit let us know.
If its not the trip for you best of luck with yours anyway!
Leprechauns, Mermaids, Unicorns and other mythical creatures need not bother, had a bad experience doing a 3 month backpacking trip around narnia!!!
