Hello all,

We have finally seen some sun in Australia, which is fortunate really because we're staying on the famous Bondi Beach, which would be pretty unspectacular in the rain. This has got to be a quick update (partly because my internet time is running out and partly because i want to catch some rays) so i'll get started.

Since the las blog entry we have had a ball. We rented out a van, which is one of the best things we have done on our travels so far. We spent five days driving down the Great Ocan Road, which is a spectacular drive. Sheer cliffs or rolling hills on one side and the beautiful blue and crashing waves of the ocean on the other. Camping, eating, drinking, building fires, driving down dirt tracks, making friends with Kangeroos and Kualas (then eating 'Kanga Bangers'), were just some of the things we did along the way.

Our last few days in Melbourne were spent doing Neighbours and celebrating Jamie's birthday. We then flew to Sydney (with only a minor, expensive, wrong airport hiccup, all Jamie and John's fault) and have been chilling and touristy depending on our moods.

Anyway, gotta go
