Okay so I just got back from getting my new Telstra Voucher for the phone. I decided to go over to the Post office after that instead of tomorrow to pick up my packet (YAY new camera & my hat). Either way, right after I step into my apartment door, the sky gets dark and 5 minutes later it is POURING rain, thunder and lightning and it went crazy. I love it! Now it is slowly clearing up and I am waiting for the rain to stop so I can walk around and take some photos. I edited these two pictures yesterday I took of the neighboring houses (see below) and I really had fun editing them so I think I am gonna go out and shoot some more pictures of houses and the places around here. It’s really cool cause a lot of homes have this weird decoration border thingie by their front porch. I will photograph it to explain better.
Other than that, I was going to go to this Networking Party put on by XING tonight. Depending on the weather though. If it doesn’t stop raining I am staying in. But, I am gonna stay positive and am thinking I will be alright.
It’s super humid here today (hence the thunderstorm) and if you go outside you start sweating like a pig within 2 min. Not smart for walking around everywhere. As a result, Raquel, cancelled meeting up. She is a fashion designer and we want to meet up and maybe to a couple shoots =) I am excited.
BUT now for the most important part of this entry…. I BOOKED MY OUTBACK TRIP! Yay. I am so excited. I was bouncing around in my chair yesterday at 3 am when I booked this. Here is the itinerary:
Dec 10: Fly from Melbourne to Alice Springs via Tiger Airways
Spend Night at Hostel
Dec 11-13: 3 day rock tour. I cannot wait for this. I get to go see Uluru, King’s Canyon and a bunch of other stuff.
This is copied from the website:
“Day 1: Kings Canyon (Meals – L, D)
You will be picked up from your accommodation at 6:00am, first destination Kings Canyon. Enjoy a guided 3 hour hike through the sandstone domes of the Lost City. Visit the many Amphitheaters, North & South Walls and have a swim in the Garden of Eden. Next stop, Curtin Springswhere we set up our bush camp. Your guide will prepare a healthy camp-oven dinner. Relax around the fire then curl up in your cozy swag under a million stars.
Day 2: Kata Tjuta & Uluru Sunset (Meals – B, L, D)
Feel the spiritual significance on your guided walk through to the Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta. Be shown bush tucker along the hike before heading to the Aboriginal Cultural Centre in the afternoon where you can listen to tales from the ‘Tjukurpa’ Dreamtime. We spend the evening enjoying dinner at the spectacular Sunset over Uluru. Witness the awesome sight of Uluru changing colour. We spend this night at the Ayers Rock Campground with toilets and showers.
Day 3: Uluru Sunrise (Meals – B,L)
Take in a memorable Uluru Sunrise over the World’s Largest Rock. You then have time to complete an optional Uluru Climb or guided Uluru Base Walk around Uluru. You will see beautiful sites such as the Mala Walk, Mutijulu Waterhole and Aboriginal Cave Paintings. We stop on the way home for an optional Camel Ride at the Camel Farm. You will arrive back in Alice Springs at approximately 5:30pm. Back to civilization, get cleaned up and we meet later with your Guide for dinner and a couple of beers in an The Rock Bar.”
On the 13th I am spending another night at the hostel
Dec 14: Greyhound to Adelaide
Get there in the morning on the 15th. Explore Adelaide for the day
Dec 15th: Greyhound to Melbourne. Get there at 6:45 am the following day!
I am SOOOOO excited I can’t even wait. It’s going to so amazing. There is this place in Alice Springs I want to go to thats a Kangaroo Rescue Center. You get to hold baby kangaroos and play with them! I am doing it! Expect a bunch of photos. Apparently Telstra is the only one getting service out there too so if I do have a bit of Service I will post a photo 
Keep smiling! I am so stoked
Cheers
