As I enter into my final day in Australia, it's time to reflect on a fantastic last few days. Friday evening was my first experience of watching an AFL game. It was a top four clash of the Carlton Blues vs Hawthorn Hawkes at the Etihad arena in Melbourne city centre. I had to side with one team, as I'm used to supporting underdogs being a Forest fan, I chose the Carlton Blues. Whichever team I sided with were bound to lose, so sorry Carlton fans! The match wa...

After 6 great nights in Melbourne it's time to up sticks and move on again. It has been my lifelong dream to visit the United States and in 15 hours that dream will come true as I'm about to board my flight to Los Angeles. My final day in Melbourne was yet another one to remember. After an emotional goodbye to Jimmy (he's going to laugh at this!) It was left to Jimmy's Dad John to look after me. What a great job he did! If you ever get to read this, thanks for...

I'm now 2 days in to my Melbourne trip & it has been fantastic catching up with my friend Jimmy from back home.

We were a little disappointed as the road was closed for filming. I also had my first taste of Goon (cheap rubbish wine what Backpackers use to get drunk). ...

So the time as come to move on once again as I prepare to board my flight from Brisbane to Melbourne. The last two days have been just as entertaining as the previous two. On Monday I made a trip to Keperra to visit my great uncle Bob. He's 87 years old and is unbelievable for his age. He still drives which means he is very much an independent person. He took me to walkabout creek which is a wildlife park which consists of various species such as kangaroos an...

Another 48 hours have passed on this fantastic trip and the adventures just don't seem to stop. I have reached Brisbane where the weather is much more like what I'd expect to see in Australia. Although not quite as scorching as south east Asia, temperatures of 25degrees makes a great winter! I have managed to catch up with my friend who I worked with in London, Andy (AKA Fellaini - he used to look like the Everton player until he had his mop chopped). On Satu...
