A bit out of order this one! I started it ages ago but never got around to finishing it. A couple of months ago, Dan came to visit me in Brisbane, the first time he’d left Victoria since he arrived way back when. Well I know what I like about this city, but I know what he really wants to see – all the good bars. So this post will be doubling up as a sort of bar review!

Sarah Meets Brisbane
Alright alright, I know it’s been a while. And here’s the thing, a lot has happened! So I’m gonna have two posts to catch-up, this one is when Sarah came to town, and finishes off the adventure involving my folks which started in the last post.
Shows, Visitors, Disasters
Well, it’s been a while, but it’s not like there’s been a shortage of things happening! Here’s we’s goes.
New Zealand, New Digs
Just to be clear about the title there, I didn’t move to New Zealand, I went for a visit and moved into a new place when I got back to Brisbane. Anyways, as mentioned in the last post, I went over to visit the lovely Sarah as it was her birthday – haha, now everyone knows you’re old!

A Brisbanite Is Me!
Since Nat took me up to Brisbane, I’d been thinking about it as a potential home. Well, a couple of months later and here I am, and things are going rather splendidly.
The New Zealand Story
Well since Sarah made the effort to come and see me, I thought it would be rude not to return the gesture. I don’t think I would have gone to New Zealand unless she was there, but I’m glad I did, even if it was nothing like I’d been led to believe as a child.
Brissy, Mate!
Well when Nat asked me if I wanted to go up to Brisbane with her for a weekend to celebrate her cousin Ross’s birthday I jumped at the opportunity – right after checking the state of my funds. Holidays again! Hey, that’s half of what this working holiday malarky is about, remember? So I took a Friday off work and got explorin’.
A Quick Intro
Howdy! These are the chronicles of my around the world adventures. For a quick rundown on what’s been happening, check out The Story So Far. It also serves as a sort of fluid index for my posts. Otherwise, just scroll down to see all the latest posts.
Bushwhacker Dan
Dan‘s been up in Beechworth for several weeks now, doing regional work to extend his visa. He’s working with Jezza’s dad Ross, putting up fencing and all sorts. I knew Dan was the outdoor type, but I didn’t expect he’d love it as much as he does. I’m starting to wonder if he’ll even come back to civilization.
