good news, i have now found i can to connect to wireless internet on my phone so i can hook up to free internet. So i am currently on a bench in the middle of melbourne stealing someones internet....ace!!!

I left childers, yes i have actually eventually left, on friday evening after work at midnight. As it was a friday night my send off commitee were all rather drunk!! Was very sad to leave but as i had been at work all week as soon as i got on the bus i fell asleep. I got the bus down to brisbane and ten had a 6 hour wait in the airport to fly to melbounre.

When i got to melbourne i got the bus from the airport into the city but then had to tackle the trams which are crazy here. manged to kind of stumble my way through it asking people and drivers as i went. I was very impressed with myself when i got off the tram in the right street. However this quickly evaporated as i realised i was standing outside of building no. 580 and my hostel was no.22. It was a very long and tiring walk with my rucksack on too. But eventually made it to the hostel which is very nice.

I met two girls in my room, jane and sandra and the next day we went off to the grand prix together. Amazing day!! Worth all the money time and effort put into getting down here for it! so very gutted about hamilton but button was awesome!! We stayed after and saw all the pit garages, very tiring day but loved it!

Yesterday i mooched about, enjoyed having proper clothes shop rather then just dimmies in childers, bought a dress and some proper food and then just chilled out in the hostel. This morning i went with the girlss in my room to queen victoria market but it wasnt as good as i remebered so now i am back and currently trying to find sta travel to speak to them about moving and changing flight tickets.

So hope you are all well. Please can someone ensure this is getting to the grandparents so they dont think i am ignoring them as now i am not working postcards are expensive!! Love to you all xxx
