From Perth across the Nullarbor to Adelaide

Hello
My time in Fremantle was brief but good. I had a lovely farewell meal looking over the Indian ocean. The hostel played films every night which was a good bonus especially as it was a very cheap place to stay. I went to the old gaol there which was one of the best museums i have been to here. also i got YHA discount which made it even better. at the hostle there were plently of people to speak to, including an american girl who i dont think had every shaved her armpits in her life and the 1st time i noticed i though it was her long blonde hair insted, disgusting. so then i was off back to Perth to ctach the Indian Pacificall the way to Adelaide. it was a 2 night, 1 1/2 day journy which was thoroughly enjoyable even with the persistant chatter of a 74 yr old woman who had the journey a million times and loved pointing out all the differences between now and when she first rode the train.also she snored. i was in the sleeper chair and so there was no escaping her apart from when we stopped in the middle of the night at Koolgardie and the next day at a place called Cook which has a total population of 5, 2 or which seemed to man the souvenir shop. after 2 uncomfortable nights i got into Adelaide at 7.30 in the morning to a rainy city. i had a walk around and stuff but it was so nice to be able to sleep horrizontaly the first nite i was there

Adelaide, in my opinion, isnt as nice as Perth but maybe thats because its colder here! theres isnt as much to do but since i wasnt here very long that wasnt such a massive problem. iv done all the large museums and the botanical gardens are lovely, especially the international rose garden, of which i think i have around 80 pictures a nice roses and thier names. so far, after 16 days i have around 330 photos, so i dont envy the people im gunna glue to the sofa and make watch the slide show (with full comentry) of my whole collection of photos.

Iv been staying in a really nice hostel and made some nice friends here, especially with a girl called emma from england who is on the bunk above me. we went to the shopping area yesterday and today we went to see hunky hugh jackman in xmen.

I'm really excited to be going to Sydney 2morro, iv booked my accomodation and im staying in a yha where some of the rooms are in converted train carridges ( i hope i dont have to sleep upright agen!) although i think ill be in the main building coz im in an 8 bed drom. the hostle where im in at the mo has free breakfasts which is imense! so i get up in the morning and properly stuff myself.

The best place iv been to in Adelaide is probably Ayres House which is like a national trust owned property that you can go look round. However in Australia every where seems to run free tours unlike in england so i had a very imformative guide lade showing me around.

I hope everybody is good and dandy at home.
