Well I am now in Melbourne, I did the Great Ocean Road here from Adelaide, it was amazing!

We stopped at various places along the way, we did lots and lots of hiking, one morning we did a 4.2km hike at 8.00am!! It nearly killed me! It was such hard work but the views when we reached the top were amazing, we were in Grampians National Park. We stayed in private hostels which were really nice, the first one we stayed in was a log cabin and the next one had 4 bed dorms and we had a bbq, then we went to see the sunset at the 12 Apostels which was amazing! We took some really nice photos (see facebook).

We got to Melbourne on Wednesday (21st) and am staying here until next Wednesday then heading to St Kilda, where the beach is. Melbourne is really nice, I went to the Australian Open the other day with Lisa and Sophie, I'm not really in to Tennis but it was good to see it, we were lucky enough to see the Williams Sisters play, it was a good game. I went to a nice market yesterday called Queen Victoria Market.

I've been buying far too many clothes! I think if I ever travel again I'll take hardly any clothes with me! I'm seperated from the other girls i've been travelling with because some of the boys we were with said the hostel we had booked in to was horrible so they decided to go somewhere else but me and Lisa stayed here, and there is nothing wrong with it! The only thing I'd complain about is the kitchen becuase it isnt very well equiped. I've been cooking every night to save money, everyone seems to live off pasta out here! I've made friends with a girl who is in our dorm called Davina she is from Saffron Waldon.
