Have had a great time the last couple of months in Melbourne!! Got here in a truck, which was set up by the guy I worked for in Loxton, very bumpy ride but it was free and I got here heaps quicker than if I had got the greyhound!

Have been staying in a little hostel above a pub called the 'pint on punt', this is in Windsor just next to St Kilda and is a 4 minute walk from Albert park (Grand Prix Track). Have met some great people here, most of who are crazy!! and after about 2 weeks I started working here as the cleaner, which is one of the reasons I stayed here for 2months instead of the original 2 weeks!!

 

My first week here was the commonwealth games and also the run up  to my birthday so i spoilt myself with food, drink, touristy things and watching  random sporting events!! Also met up with Aaron and a couple of mates from Sydney - Marc and Rob. I then went to the Snowy mountains for a week to recuperate and it was beautiful and very relaxing there!! When I came back it was Grand Prix time, this is what I had been waiting for, for the last 6months!!

 

I then got my job here, which kinda just popped into my lap!! And ever since have been just trying to save money and chill out with friends. The comedy festival was on for about a month aswell and 4 of us went to see a comedian - Jason Byrne who was hilarious. Have also been to the aquarium, art gallery, botanical gardens and museum.

 

last night me and Jimi flew into Sydney and we stayed one night in Wake up (where I stayed when I was here before). over night I became ill with a really bad throat, very similar to what was wrong with me when I was last here!! hmm, I think it is still floating around in the sir con!! Anyway, we're now staying in a really nice place in Kings Cross and we have a week left together before jimi heads off up the east coast with friends Ray, Antoinette and Pete Pom and I head to NZ!! hopefully to gwet a job straight away!!

 

all for now!!
