Yesterday Arthur and I had an early start (6am :( ) to get into the centre to do the Neighbours Tour Bus. I was pretty excited because I (like a loser) love neighbours! The bus driver knew way too much about the show, but one fact I remember was that 'Erinsborough' (the fictional suburb it's set in) is an anagram for 'or neighbours', never noticed that before. He also thought it would be funny to turn into Pine Oak court (Ramsay Street) really fast and managed to...

Wow, so been having great weather here in Melbourne! Rain, rain, rain - torrential! We went to look at cameras for me on Tuesday and on Wednesday Amanda took us to Frankston to get me the new camera, which is really lush! Love it. Arthur and I then got the train into the city which took about an hour, we had intended to go to the Botanical Gardens and some other sights, but due to the heavy rain we decided to go to the Melbourne Museum instead. We had wanted to g...

We checked out of the hostel at 10, which was coincidentally the same time our bus to the airport picked us up. We said goodbye to Tom and Marlene which was sad, but we have them on facebook!

The flight was 2 and half hours over the outback which was amazing and so red and then we lande...

Ah the AFL was so good! We watched Essendon vs Gold Coast, so it was pretty one sided as Gold Coast is a new team this season. But it was amazing, the game is pretty cool itself, I think I maybe just got the hang of the rules! But there's 18 people on each team so the pitch is pretty crowded, and you can throw the ball wherever you want, well you have to kind of punch it, or kick it. There are 4 posts and if you kick it between the middle 2 you get 6 points and b...

We had an epically long overnight bus journey, down from Sydney - 17 hours! I think I only managed sleep for 3 at best! It also meant we were unable to watch the Royal Wedding! :( We arrived in Melbourne about 8 in the morning, and took the tram to St Kilda to find our hostel. We decided to stay in another Base hostel as we really liked the one we stayed in in Sydney. I have already decided that I prefer Melbourne, even though I haven't seen much of it yet as we'...
