Australia is our neighbour, staunchest ally, fiercest rival. Like many Kiwis I’ve travelled there, but only to the east coast, Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast. I’ve often thought, I’ll leave Australia till last on my travel plans, because its close and its pretty much like New Zealand, it just has a few more gumtrees and a lot more desert.
Big mistake.
I’ve been on a journey of discovery across the ditch.
