Police academy in Fed Square!We had to leave our lovely apartment today and move into a city centre hotel. Once we had dropped off our bags we went to the Australian Centre for the Australian Image, where we watched student-made films in the Memory Grid and played video games, which were quite confusing for anyone but ten-year old boys! We then went into Federation Square, and watched a police band singing Shania Twain and Tom Jones' songs, which was strangely re...

The day I met Susan Kennedy!We had another big lie in this morning, and then had some lunch and relaxed in our lounge - we're really making the most of it!

We then went back to the hostel, stopping at an arts and crafts market on the way. The Irish boys offered to drop us at our new apartment in Prahan, which we had booked for two people, thinking that we would ju...
