I woke up around 10 and had one last freezing cold shower before checking out of the International Backpackers. I walked into the centre and caught a tram to St Kilda. I arrived in the seaside suburb and walked past Luna Park with the iconic Mr Moon entrance (which I'll get a photo of before I leave). The base hostel is maybe $5 more a night than most other hostels but for an extra 2 pounds it's well worth it. Aaah..air-conditioning, en-suite shower/bathroom, bar...

I slept for a little and then headed into the city around 1pm and sat in the park and basked in the sun. I went to the Museum of Immigration, about all the immigrants that have come to Melbourne over the years. There was a Scottish section, they had kilts of immigrants and old belongings etc. Melbourne received 60,000 Scottish immigrants every year from 1860-1920. No wonder Jack needs fresh talent most of it left a hundred years ago! I then sat in Federation...

I walked through Glebe Park and had to evade some drunks who were having a fight. I walked through the suburbs and found the Australian War Museum. It was quite interesting-especially the Gallipoli section. However I got bored after the WW1 section and just headed to the hall o...

The bad weather from Sydney followed me to Canberra-it was torrential rain for most of the day. To make matters worse the showers don't have any hot water which was really annoying!! The weather relented in the afternoon and I headed to the National Museum of Australia after a Subway. The museum looks like a big picasso painting-it's really crazy! Although inside it was pretty cool with all the aboriginal stuff and a big presentation on Australia: The Histor...

I woke up thirsty and bleary-eyed. I gathered my belongings together and drove the car back to the rental company. I then got a bus to Sydney's Central Station. I bought my ticket to Canberra and then got on the train. It took 4 hours and went through mainly old N.S.W. settlements and bushland. I arrived in Canberra and got chatting to an English guy called Rob who was also going to my hostel in the civic area. We got the bus together and drove through the ...
