I've done most of my main shopping, a sturdy backpack and some very glamorous trail running shoes have been purchased along with a silk sleeping bag liner. Wanting to buy lots of fancy new cloths to take with me but need to remember that I have to carry everything I take with me so will have to pack light.
I have my first three weeks all planned and booked, I'll be spending some time in Brisbane with family before heading up to Alice Springs for 10 days including a 3 day tour round Uluru. I then head back to Brisbane for 5 days before flying up to Prosepine for some time snorkelling and sunbathing in the Whitsundays.
If anyone knows anyone out in Australia or has advice on things I shouldn't miss out on let me know.
