Last week was action packed to say the least. We made a few spontaneous ticket purchases to prolong Davie's birthday celebrations. The first ticket purchase was to see King Kong at the Regent Theatre on the Wednesday evening. The show was excellent, however, there were a few bits that went on for a bit long and my biggest criticism was that you could see the wires and the puppeteers controlling the King Kong puppet.

Friday we got up early doors to catch our coach to Mt Buller, the journey took ages but we eventually arrived at the mountain midday.

For those of you who don't know what tree surfing is, it's "a thrilling high ro...

As always when exploring somewhere new we got off the train completely disorientated and just followed where everyone else went....we struck lucky that day and found the main shopping street; Chapel Street. Whilst on Chapel Street we found Prahran food market so we had a litt...
