Hi all

Malaysia & Singapore were really fun but VERY expensive!! Singapore zoo is great fun!! I am now in Australia!! We stayed in Fremantle in Perth for 10 days, we went to their Sunday Sessions which was great fun & also had a night out in the city but decided that going out where we lived was far cheaper. We ventured out for the day to a place called penguin island......I mean I thought that there was going to be lots of wild penguins all over the place but we had to watch them being fed in a room & then we couldn't find any on the island apart from one under a bit of decking which I don't even think it was supposed to be there!! Oh yeh we did see a sea lion though :o) We met a lot of travellers in our hostel that were really friendly to us & came out with us a few time.....but we worked out that they were all a bit strange in the end & came to call the place where we were staying Freakmantle!!

Arrived in Melbourne last night, staying in St Kilda, really nice place, a lot colder over here compared to Perth though. We all have a dorm together which is nice as we don't have to annoy other people & wake them up when we get in late :o) Think we are staying here for about 6 weeks & then to Sydney for 6 weeks working, going to try & hunt for a house together too. Soooo expensive we need to work soon!! We are going to a yearly festival tomorrow which should be fun so I will keep you all updated & let you know how we are getting on.

Hope everyone is well.
