Last Sunday was Australia day so to celebrate we did the whole BBQ thing and drank a fair (lots) amount of beer, when in Rome and all that... We woke up on the Monday, a public holiday - luckily, with stinking hangovers so we had a lazy day. When we felt a little more human we venture out for a walk to the Studley Boathouse for a refreshing beverage and ice cream.

There were a couple of people who missed the bend and ended up in the gravel near us (not in the main race) but lu...

Sorry it's been so long since we've written a blog, here's a round up of what we've up to the last few weeks.... 21st September: Abbotsford has one of the biggest breweries in Australia; Carlton United Brewery, and seeing as it's right on our doorstep it would have been very rude of us not to visit!
