In 1999 I left Holland for a working holiday in Australia. For a whole year I traveled around one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Since I still have so many pictures and memories that I would love to share I have decided to take trips down memory lane and tell you a little bit about it.

One of the most interesting experiences I have had in Australia was when I camped in The Grampians (Victoria). The Grampians is Victoria’s largest National Park, comprising of outstanding landforms, dense rain forests, unsurpassed mountain peaks, sparkling waterfalls and superb lookouts.

Camping in The Grampians was very primitive as you can see on the picture. We slept in a big tent with other travelers and were eating food that was cooked above a fire. I am the one with the green shirt and orange Dr. Martens. At night time I was so scared that some of Australia’s wonderful (and not so wonderful) wildlife would get into our tent. But fortunately that didn’t happen, I did however got bitten by lots of mosquitoes.

Yes, I have neglected this blog. Lots of things have happened since my last post.

• I have finally booked my tickets to Holland. Tickets + insurance = $6000. Holy shit, what a lot of money!!! It better be the best holiday of my life.
• My computer crashed and I lost all my files, my pictures, my digital scrapbooking kits, programs, my bookmarks, passwords and the lot. Very frustrating stuff. Note to myself: Make back ups of EVERYTHING.
• We were not able to resolve Ian’s claim for his hand and our claims related to our car accident. Stress, stress, and more stress. Do I need to say more?
• Ian stopped with his Oxycontin medication. I am so proud of him.

That’s about it I guess. Hopefully I will post a bit more regular from now on.
