Well guys, firstly I am still alive! - for those of you who don't get what I mean there has been a bit of a natural disaster in Victoria lately which is effecting the people here big time. The recent extreme weather (46degrees yesterday) and northerly winds have caused the worst bush fires in history. Over 100 people have tragically died. At first I must admit that I thought that people were just unprepared for the fires, but I think really nobody stood a chan...

Today I felt in need of doing something cultural. I still haven't found work so my new plan of action is to enjoy these few weeks, but then maybe work a bit harder when I do find a job to recoup funds. It was only 38 deg today which made sightseeing easier. The guys and I decided to go up the Eureka Tower, which is the highest public view point in the southern hemisphere.

We were up at 6am today ahhh! We set of for the most Southernly point of Australia. The only thing about Australia is that everywhere is so far apart so you need to get up ridiculously early to just get to places at a decent time.
