Hi again. Thought we'd let you know about all the 'foodie' things we've found here. People eat out all the time here, partly because it's brilliant value for money and also because of the massive variety of grub on offer. Rob, we decided to take on your 'Lamington Challenge' of eating a Lamington (fluffy cake covered with coconut flakes) without licking your lips. Both successful... Delicious!

ST. KILDA FESTIVAL We spent the day with thousands of others walking around St. Kilda. Highlights were all the bands that seemed to have set up in every available bar and venue in St. Kilda.

FESTIVALS Chinese New Year We only stayed for a little bit because it was so busy. It all took place in China Town within the City. Masses of people all jostling for position to see the dragons and events going on. Managed to glimpse a couple. Also saw the Mayor of Melbourne who is chinese I think, and sampled lots of lovely Chinese food. Happy Year of the Rat everyone! Japanese Festival Similar to the other festivals we've been to. There were lots of stal...
