Mike's Life Blog : Looking Back At Australia

Mid June is not far away now, so it is almost one year since returning to the UK from 11 months in Australia. So so much has changed in that time. I though I would take a minute to remember a few of those things.

Australia was truly amazing and I still hope to return at some stage. You just never know whats around the corner.

During my time in Australia I visited Sydney, Adelong, Melbourne, Mansfield, most of Tasmania, Adelaide, Perth, Denmark, Cairns, Brisbane and quite a few in-between. In that time I worked at an Orchard, a Zoo, a Farm, as a Fundraiser and Lifestyle Product Promoter / Seller. I swam over part of the Great Barrier Reef, camped next to a Lions enclosure, fed a camel with my mouth, held a Joey and koala, attempted to surf, spent Christmas on the beach, walked dingos, hitched a three week ride with a German, climbed a mountain, swam naked in Wineglass Bay, watched the Australian Open from a bridge, slept with cockroaches and looked at a sky filled with stars.

I travelled, I lived.

The trip was amazing in every way. There is much more about my journey on http://mike-and-chloes-australian-adventure.blogspot.co.uk (I can only write so much before I question why I'm here and not there). I was also fortunate enough to meet a few professional contacts to discuss future work opportunities, which was both exciting and beneficial. A few of whom I have spoken to since returning to the UK and hope to remain in contact with, even if just for collaboration from the UK.

If you are thinking of moving, travelling, or visiting Australia...DO IT!
It is an amazing place, I know people that went over before me and people that have gone since Ive returned.

In my reflective mood, I thought it worth posting a few links to places that I enjoyed and would recommend.

I'm off to look at Australia photos now.
