The flat Christmas dinner had been planned for a couple of weeks, we all had our cooking roles and we all had our own traditions we were going to bring to the table. As our flat currently consists of 2 Kiwis, 1 English, 1 Scot and 1 Scot/Aussie we had a variety of traditions which we all wanted to include. But there is one very important thing that Australian Christmas does not include, Pigs in blankets.

Christmas is fast approaching and it is beginning to sink in that I am going to be having my first ever Christmas without my family and with Iain (I don't think I've ever seen him on Christmas day itself!).
The man who gives free coffee
Isn’t it amazing that somebody can do a good deed which is purely selfless?
The horrors of flat hunting in Melbourne

The truth about travelling in a campervan
I was the first driver, and I stalled straight away. The good thing about Australia is that they drive on the same side of the road as the UK. There is one thing that is different, and that is that the indicator is on the right side, as in the wrong side, which is left in the UK.
Eat street markets – Brisbane
We went to Brisbane’s Eat street market, which was the most amazing food market I think I have ever been too. On the outside it looked like large pieces of Lego, built up of brightly painted shipping containers, inside it was a lot more open and the containers made up the walls with an open roof. (My first thought was what do they do if it rains? But it’s Australia and it apparently doesn’t rain an awful lot).
