Australia 2 (18. January - 10. February)
I went back to Australia, and visited for a second time. I was there for about a month and visited
Melbourne, Adelaide, Alice Springs and Tasmania.
Melbourne (18. - 23. January and 08. - 10 February):
I flew in to Melbourne, from Norway. The flight was via Amsterdam and Kuala Lumpur. Melbourne
is a great city to visit. See the Australia 1 article for pictures from Melbourne. You can
drink the tap water in Australia, and the tap water in Melbourne is actually quite good. Some
places the water from tap can taste of chlorine, which is used to keep the water clean. Buying
water can be quite expensive. I met a woman in Tasmania that had been and seen the great ocean
road in Melbourne 6 times, and I agreed with her that it was indeed one of the nicest things to
see in the area around Melbourne.
Adelaide (23. - 27. January):
Another nice city. Adelaide is the city of churches, and there sure is many of them. Some good
architecture in the city and otherwise there is beach that you could visit.
Alice Springs 27. January - 02. February(with Uluru and Kings Cannion trip):
There is not too many people living in Alice Springs, and it is quite a laid back place.
The desert park Alice Springs:
I went on a two day trip from Alice Springs out to Kings Canyon and Uluru. From
Alice Springs you can do one, two or three day trips out to Kings Canyon and
also Uluru. Here are the pictures I got out there:

Kata Tjuta - The olgas:
Uluru aka Ayers Rock - close up:
Tasmania (02. - 08. February):
Tasmania is different then the other parts of Australia I have visited and even
within Tasmania the climate varies depending on which part you are in. It rained
a lot, when I was there, and on the first day of a three day trip to the west
cost, it rained when we (group of 16 people) where tracking in Cradle Mountain.
But all in all it was a great trip. Here are some of the pictures I got down
there:
