WatchThis is the last video for Oz. We’ve just arrived in Wellington and are currently thinking of clever names for the NZ blog.
It’s around six minutes long so make sure you got some time to kill.
ditto. I’m going to try to get Max to wear the pyjama pants while skydiving.
Rich
we’re skydiving tomorrow, so if you’ve always been secretly in love with me or whatever, you may as well facebook message me now.

Christ, I make plaid pajamas look good in that video.
So we just completed a 3-day sailing extravaganza around the Whitsunday Islands, filled with amazing sights, dives, and interesting backpackers from all over the world, and here’s the thing about seasickness: it reduces you to a huddled mass of misfiring neurons concerned only with the blazing zone of agony formerly known as your stomach.

Cyclones
After 3 days on a leaky sailboat going through the Whitsunday Islands in torrential downpours, we are now stuck in Arlie Beach being flanked by all sides with cyclones and other low pressure systems.
Ok, I was totally right, Dingos suck. They’re just emaciated-looking wild dogs that will wait for you to get drunk off goon and then try to eat your food. Luckily it turns out that if you fill Cam with enough beer and provide him with a heavy, blunt object, he turns into human dingo-repellant.
Fraser island was basically a rambunctious camping trip. It’s cool to see one of these...

Tomorrow we embark on a 3 day - 2 night, journey to Fraser Island. The Island is the world largest island composed purely of sand and contains more sand than the Sahara desert. The island is also infested with dingoes, Max isn’t too interested with them but I think these wild canines are friggin awesome.

1. Places
Sydney: Our daily lives were basically: surfing, then being touristy, then collapsing from exhaustion at crazy early hours. (We eventually adjusted).
Go to: Manly beach (classic surftown boardwalk), freshwater beach (location of our first surf…kind of), Bondi beach
(adjacent to...

WatchWaking up to Kangaroos by our campsite. Later that day they tried to eat our food.
Bats
As we walked down the trail to the billabong, we heard the high-pitched screech echo through the trees. It’s hard to describe but it is most similar to a never-ending scrawl of nail on blackboard.
We just had to walk 10 feet and then we spotted these huge black pods swaying from the top of the trees. You could spot their beady little eyes peer out at you as they flexed their massive, webbed...

The Long Road Ahead
After brief moments of deliberation, we’ve finally decided on a rough framework of this trip.
Yesterday, Cam and I bought surfboards, Max bought one the day before, and hit the ocean to shred up some waves.
So we’ve decided to rent a camper van, its got a kitchen (Max is on protein shake duty due to lack of a driver’s license), beds and sick graffitti off to the side of the...
WatchThe bigger the better/that’s what she said
WatchProbally the world’s worst busker at the Sydney Harbor.
Surfin
Alright, our first surfing experience was great. It was pretty much the making of an epic horror story if certain events unfolded in the feared manner.
Max and I met up with Laura and Tristan (probally the coolest Aussies you will ever meet) who live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. What started off as a perfect thursday morning: hot and sunny, we started off with a run by the sydney harbor and...
goodbye
my totally reasonable plan was to say bye to everyone in Kingston on Saturday night, whence mox was having that ‘rockstar party’ at our house. I even bought a sweet ass getup so as to contribute to the theme, and i’m pretty sure that was the first time i ever actually complied, in any capacity, with one of those facebook invite ‘dress stupid’ requests. (no, but actually - ask mox - this getup was...

Sydney has a friggin monorail going through the city center. I’m going for a ride.
Big Ups to Karen!
At this rate, I’m going to be a lobster by mid-day tomorrow.
Nobody told me that people also walked on the left side of the road. I almost took out two women and a guy by walking on the right side.
Hot
Its twenty-six degrees, hot and humid right now. I like it.
Mox, some guy just sold me a phone with two teardrops underneath his left eye. Do you know him?
LAX
I think LAX is one of the more outdated airports that I have ever been to. It just feels really old and dilapidated.
I had a Burrito at Baja Burrito, it was overpriced like all airplane food and pretty dry, the salsa was good though.
Pretty good airport music though, I feel like I’m in a giant elevator.
Can’t really think of much else to write except I am super stoked for the 15...
Welcome...
This is where you get to witness all the trials and tribulations of three guys in Australia.
Plans are non-existent at this point as I have no idea where I’m staying in Sydney or whether I got a place to stay in Wellington. Needless to say, this trip will be interesting. I’m predicting alot of wild beaches, kangaroos and other marsupials, and some crazy nights in random aussie pubs.
